MUSIC MINISTRIES: Ministries are getting ready to get back into full swing after Labor Day. As we begin this new year to see where we are and where we are going in the ARE program, we look to ourselves to see how we can serve our Lord. So if you sing in the shower or have thought about it. If you play an instrument or have one in the back of your closet bring it out and join us in leading our family in worship.
Senior Choir is open to freshmen in high school. We meet on Thursday evening at 7:15 pm. and sing a full variety of music in worship. We lead worship and help the congregation on their spiritual journey. In addition to leading worship we are blessed to be able to host a yearly benefit concert to reach out and help children in need. Then one of our most favorite times of the year is the Christmas Eve Lesson and Carol Candlelight service were we work really hard to start to bring in the night with a special concert before the service and as the service unfolds and tells the story we illuminate the church with the sounds of the season. Then through Lent and Easter we begin the journey of the time of preparation for the Resurrection of our Lord. If this sounds like something you really would like to try then come down on Thursday nights and join us, no previous experience required and we even teach you the basics of reading music.
Orchestra is getting their instruments polished and tuned up for the coming season. We will be playing for the holidays including Christmas, Lent, Easter, the benefit concert and other events. If you are a past member or someone who has that instrument hidden in the back of your closet, please consider dusting it off and coming and joining us. Our rehearsals are on Sunday evenings at 7 pm. 4-6 weeks before the time we will play in church. So contact Mike Jacklin at 773 301 0366 or rlcjacklin@aol.com if you are interested.
