Would You LIke To Sing This Easter?
|
It’s the Sunday of Sundays – Resurrection Day. Our worship is always lifted by music, but on the Sunday of Sundays, all the more so. We would invite you to sing all the better in two ways.
First, we’ll be singing a new song following the gospel message:
Ain’t No Grave.
Its style fits its title – blue grass. It’s an easy to learn song, but if you’d like to sing it all the better on Resurrection Day, give it a few listens:
And second, as we always do on Easter, we’ll conclude with Handel’s
Hallelujah Chorus.
The choir will lead us, but all are welcome to join us up front to sing, and we will have lots of extra scores.
Let’s raise the roof for the One who was raised and now raises us!

Capital Campaign Coming to a Close
|
|
For His Glory: A Place and A Song
Our For His Glory Capital Campaign is coming to a close this week, and commitments and gifts are coming in. Our quest is to assure that we will have a place to worship God on into the future, and music to fill that place with praise. A letter went out last week to all of the St. Giles members and friends with the full information on the Campaign, and a Commitment Card for you to consider how you’ll give.
The organ console pictured here is like the one we anticipate having soon as we respond to For His Glory. Dennis Flynn secured this picture, and wrote up a detailed account of the organ’s history and its new possibilities. Those detailed reports are available to you at the church.
What should you do with your commitment card? You can put it in the offering plate, bring it by the office, or mail it in. If you didn’t get one, or need another, call the church office and we’ll get one to you.
Check out our For His Glory thermometer, marking our advance in this quest. And let’s all be praying.
