The Choir's Coming Back & So Should You! |
The Vineville UMC Chancel Choir is returning to its weekly rehearsal schedule starting in August! Our first meeting will be on Tuesday, August 2 at 6:30 p.m. in the Choir Room. Choir is a wonderful way to engage in fellowship with our church family and be active in worship; it's also just fun! There are no requirements of skill or experience to join, just a heart that enjoys music. I can't tell you how many times I've heard someone say, "Oh, you don't want ME in the choir, I can't carry a tune in a bucket." Well here's my challenge: if you've ever said this or something to its effect when asked about singing, I challenge you to attend just one rehearsal with us this fall! If you enjoy the experience, you'll have found a new and meaningful ministry to be a part of and if not, I will refrain from asking you to sing in the choir again for at least one week! We have a wonderful season of music-making and praise in front of us, so I hope you'll join the Chancel Choir when we meet again the first week of August! |
Children's Choir to Resume on August 17 |
Children's Choir will return on Wednesday, August 17th. Hosanna, our preschool choir, is for children in 2K through 5K; Oasis, our elementary choir, is for children in 1st through 5th grade. Our new schedule for last year was such a success that we will be following it again this year! We will gather at 5:00 p.m. in the dining room for a pizza dinner. At 5:30 p.m., Hosanna will rehearse while Oasis will participate in structured activities and crafts; at 6:15 p.m., the choirs will swap, ending at 7:00 p.m. Both choirs will sing periodically in worship services, and they will present a Christmas program and a spring program. If you have any questions, please reach out to me at rmccurry@vinevillemethodist.org. and look for more information in the children's newsletter.

COME SEE THE THEATRE CAMP
PERFORMANCE ON FRIDAY
|
|
Our theatre camp kids have been working hard on songs, lines, costumes, and sets and would love to share with you their performance of O Chicken of Little Faith. The performance will take place this Friday at noon in the CLC. Come on your lunch break to support their hard work. It's a fun show with great music and an important message for us all.

I ought to wear it all the time. The simple act of putting on my name tag each Sunday is a gesture of hospitality and kindness. In a church as large as Vineville, it is hard to know everybody by name. And who hasn’t had that awkward moment where you know their name, but just can’t spit it out? Add the separation and isolation brought on by Covid to our usual memory struggles, and name tags become even that much more necessary.
Teresa Edwards joined our staff this week. You will be able to pick her out in worship since she will be the new face up front. It will be easier for you to remember her name than for her to remember all of ours. As an act of welcome, let’s dig in the console of the car or under the seat cushions to find our name tag. If you are unable to locate it, fill out the form in the lobby, and we will get a new one made for you. If you have never had one, now is the time to fix that. Look for the yellow card in the lobby. Fill it out and put it in the offering plate this Sunday.
Every week we have guests with us in worship. Some of them know lots of people at Vineville and some don’t know anybody, yet. Let’s make it easier to get acquainted. Let’s take the initiative by wearing our name tag.

WORDS FROM A GRATEFUL HEART |
|
How wonderful it is to finally arrive at Vineville! Of course, this new beginning is made even sweeter by the gracious, kind-hearted, and warm welcome you have extended to our family. From flowers to fresh peaches, from texts to cards, from prayers to greetings around the community, I have felt your love and support. It is with joy that the Edwards family makes our home among you. I can't wait to see what God is up to as we share in ministry together. May God bless our journey as we grow deep and wide in the love of Christ.
Yours,
|
