Notes From The Music Man

MUSIC REHEARSALS STARTED WED. SEPT. 4. New members always WELCOME AND encouraged! Did/do you sing in a choir in high school or college? Your community needs you to lead worship by singing in the Chancel Choir! Did/do you play an instrument in high school or college? Your community needs you to lead worship by ringing with the Chancel Chimers! Did/do you play in a garage band? Your community needs you to lead worship playing or singing with Servant Song!            So many people tell me they really don’t sing, yet they sang in a choir or played an instrument in high school or college. If so, they have good preparation for joining a choir here at Crown of Glory. We’re not necessarily looking for great singers; we’re looking for great people willing to put in a little extra time to make our worship even better for all of us, the whole community! God does not necessarily call the equipped. Often God equips the called. Wednesday Rehearsals Servant Song, 5:00 p.m. - Chancel Chimers, 6:00 p.m. - Chancel Choir, 6:45 p.m. Tom Paulson, Director of Music and Worship  Tpaulson@crownofglory.org
