Getting Ready for Christmas?

Sleigh Bells, Christmas Trees, and Carols? Wait a minute, its August! Well, for the music ministry, the preparation for Christmas began in June. The Choir will begin rehearsals back from their summer break on Aug 13 at 7:15 pm. This will begin a season of re-learning cherished favorites arranged for today's choir and learning some exciting new arrangements for a full season of leading God's people in Worship.

This is the perfect time to join with us as we prepare to lead God's children in adoration and celebration of the one who loves us, and chooses to seek us out continually pouring His favor on us.

Here is something to think about.

Q? What gives musicians a call to serve in the temple of God?

Corporately:
David and the commanders of the Army set apart for the service, some of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and Jeduthun who were to testify accompanied by lyres, harps and, cymbals. 1 Chronicles 25:1

Personally:
Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 5:19-20

A. The Word.

What a great description of the purpose of choirs, worship teams, and instrumentalists! A charge not only to use the talents God has bless you with, but a charge to testify in the temple, to His people, proclaiming His Might, His Wonder, and His Son.

That is the goal of all of the participants of the worship teams here at FBC Bartow. Whether on a praise team, in the worship choir, or behind a computer or mixing console, all are charged with leading in the Worship of our Creator, our Savior, our Sustainer.

God Bless
