Worship Ministry Weekly Update

June 15, 2023

Happy Thursday, everyone. Here’s what you need to know going into this weekend:

First, yes, full worship ministry is leading worship this Sunday!


Coming Up

This Sunday

Sermon text: 1 Corinthians 15
We Will Remember (choir anthem)
This is the Day
Christ the True and Better
The Blood of Jesus Medley

Anthems coming up:

June 18: We Will Remember
June 25: Impossible Things


Notes

  • This Sunday, we are singing our anthem, We Will Remember, directed by our very own Larry Intermill.

  • Speaking of anthems, be on the lookout for a new listening CD of music for the Fall. We’ve got some great brand new stuff to learn. I’m excited to share it with you.

  • Schedule reminder: in the month of June, choir will not rehearse on Wednesday evenings. Choir will continue to lead on Sunday mornings in June. In July, however, there will be no Wednesday rehearsals, and Sundays will be led by band/praise team only.

  • Our full worship ministry schedule will resume on Wednesday, July 26. Use the off time this Summer to invite someone new to join us in worship ministry!

  • As I mentioned, during the month of July, orchestra and choir will not lead from the platform on Sunday mornings. I’d like to invite any interested choir/orchestra members to take a Sunday or two to sit in the audio/video booth during worship. We can never have too many people who know how to click through lyrics on the computer, as we have opportunities to serve in that way come up all the time. If you’d like to take a Sunday to observe, just let me know and I can help get you that set up.

An Extra

Waaaay back in 2019 (!!!), we published our first Stevens Street Songbook as a way to give our people a resource for personal devotion, family worship, and learning corporate worship songs. Since that time, we’ve learned some great songs that we need to add! We’d like to work on putting together a 2nd edition of the Stevens Street Songbook, and I’d love your help. If you have any feedback on the following questions, please let me or April know.

  • How have you used the Songbook?

  • What song(s) would you like to see us add?

  • What extra feature(s) would you like to see in the next edition?
