Dear Lord, I sing to You a new song because You have done marvelous things, I am in awe of the works of Your salvation! I shout because the joy You give me is uncontainable! I praise You with the harp and with the sound of singing. I pray that all music is to glorify Your great Name. You are an awesome Father, I choose to worship You in Spirit and truth in all that I do, Amen.

There is always a copy of every song for the liturgy prepare in the cantor binder. I’m always willing to provide printed copies of music in advance, but I need at least 48 hours notice in the rare case I am not around when you ask.

If you made it this far in the newsletter, send Holly a picture of one more thing you plan to do before summer ends. She’ll stop whatever she is doing and offer a up a “Glory Be” in thanksgiving for all the wondrous things God has done.

SEPTEMBER MUSIC PROGRAM

I would like to invite you to sing with us for a special music program on Thursday, September 19th at 7pm. I am programming musical settings of different Psalms in various styles with beautiful vocal harmonies. The Psalms are a beautiful gift to us, and I want to bring them to attention to others that we can use them to pray and still relate them to our everyday lives.

We will have two rehearsals for the program, Thursday September 5th at 6:30pm and Monday September 16th at 6:30pm.

Please let Dr. Holly know if you’ll be able to participate and if you can make either or both of the rehearsals!

MUSIC MINISTRY RETREAT

Save the date for our annual music retreat, August 24th from 9am-1pm. Although geared mostly for our choir members, all are welcome. You’re welcome to come just for lunch too, please RSVP by August 16.
