Dear Choir and Orchestra,
An excellent rehearsal last night! I think you all for your faithfulness and willingness to share your God-given gifts in leading others in worship. What an awesome privilege we have. A few things I forgot to mention last night:
1. CHOIR: Auditions for South Pacific are THIS Sunday at 2pm. There are LOTS of roles for men and women, some with small speaking parts. All are singing roles as sailors and nurses. Come join the fun! Orchestra folks, I’ll need you on this show, so let me know if you’re willing to play. Performance dates are July 20th and 21st. We will rehearse on Sunday the 14th and do two rehearsals prior to the shows (18th and 19th more than likely).
2. Mansfield Clean Up is THIS Saturday. Pastor Mike is asking our entire church to participate in the clean up of beautiful Mansfield. As part of our In the City, For the City initiative, folks are asked to either run, walk in the 3K or 5K. Or, if you’d rather or in addition to, simply pick up some trash starting at 10am until noon. If you can’t do the whole time, that’s fine too. Whatever you can do. This is a great way to show your support and to plant some seeds in our community at large. Call or email Diana Folmar here at the church. dianaf@fmcm.org
3. Home run movie tickets will be available for sale next Wednesday at 8:30 in the choir room. See Karen McGough for these tickets. This is a church-wide event and all are encouraged to attend the movie April 19, 20, 21. You’ve seen the trailers in church. Tickets can also be purchased at church after each service.
4. Russian Orphan Aid Concert is April 28th at 7pm. This is going to be a wonderful evening of great music and inspiring stories. If we have enough choir members in the audience, I’d love to invite you to join Whole Heart on the last song, “I Then Shall Live”. You know you love it! If we can have at least 20-25 singers, that would be great. I’ll get a show of hands on Wednesday.
5. Confirmation Celebration is May 5th at 3pm. This is a great day when over 100 new Christians will affirm their faith, be ushered into the church officially and proclaim that they are indeed Christians. What a glorious hour of worship we’ll have! So, please plan on attending the service and celebrating with me the confirmation class of 2013.
Thank you all for who you are and what you do for the Kingdom of God. I love serving with you!
Peace and Love, Scott
