MUSIC NEWS
As expected in God's grace, a
large group responded to sing as a
choir for Easter, singing and celebrating
the risen Savior with the
premiere of "Revitalizing Life!".
The same happened on Pentecost
Sunday, when a large group occupied
all seats in the chancel, lifting their voices in
worship, thus celebrating the coming of God's
Spirit, by singing "Spirit of the living God, fall
afresh on me".
OUR "GROUP OF SINGERS" practices every Sunday
at 9:15 am.
The instrumentalists are welcome
at the same time. They may receive the music
ahead of time, and practice around the back room
piano. They all assemble by 9:45 a.m. getting
ready to lead the Congregation with the opening
music. It is OPEN. You are welcome to play
and/or sing. Please come and join us. Bring your
friends!
MUSIK KIDS, the CHILDREN
Aren't they
inspiring gladness when they recite a verse and/or
or sing at our worship service?
They did a great job Palm Sunday.
They were invited to sing this Sunday, May 30, at
Homewood Care Center at 75 N. 13th Street, where the children sang last October.
Thanks for your prayerful support.
Practices for children's singing are scheduled for the
opening of every Sunday School and most Sundays
right after the 11:45 fellowship meal. It is
planned that they lead the worship opening songs.
We are discussing a time of music and singing
sometime on Wednesday for community children.
OTHER MUSIC ACTIVITIES
On Thursdays at noon, we have soloists and small group practices via music director's appointment.
Another chamber group practices some Mondays at noon via appointment with music elder(s) Charlotte Powers and/or Jim Lathrop. They include Jodie W. , harp; and sometimes Stella I, cello.
RISING STARS SERIES
Rising Stars Series toward community music involvement,
coordinated by Eleazar: Spring and Christmas
seasons bring with them our Rising Star Series Music Recitals.
In our Spring Music Recital, eight children from our San Jose community shared their musical
talents and skills honoring our Creator and blessing
our souls.
There is an Independence Pot Luck music parade
ahead. Rising Music Stars, please sign up!
Once a month at least, as an extension of God's love
through the church, Eleazar and Rebeca coordinate a
live music, and/or sing-along presentation for Live
Oak or other community centers. They perform themselves
or involve colleagues or music students.
