We wish to thank Sis. Anita for helping us lead our song service with hymns. We are looking for a Praise & Worship Leader that God has led to want to lead songs. Our church is small, but we see great things happening in the near future. We are looking for someone to lead our Praise & Worship Team & we are looking for a Praise & Worship Team. We feel we must reach the young generation as well as the old generation. That is why we need to lead off with two hymns then have the Praise & Worship team sing a praise song as we collect the offering. During this time after the offering is gathered then we can let the praise team continue singing and allow the congregation to fellowship for a couple of minutes. Once everyone is back in their seats then we can sing a couple of Praise & Worship songs. Now we can allow one person sing a special song. Now this will lead us into our sermon.
We wish to thank Sis Gwendelyn for playing the piano for us during the hymns. We are looking for someone that knows the Praise & Worship songs to help liven up the singing. We are also looking to eventually add drums, keyboard, and other instruments as we grow. We are looking for the Holy Ghost to fill the church with song so the sermon can come to life.
All musical instruments will be played on stage only. If we allow musical instruments to be played in the congregation then that instrument tends to drown out the singer and the people around them can not get the full pleasure of the singing. If they are enjoying the song and want to join in then they can clap with the song. We need to be respectful to the ones around us so they can enjoy the singing.
Bulletin Board
Although no ministry is more important than any other ministry in God’s eyes, servants in the music ministry tend to be scrutinized longer and harder by the public because they are visible. Consequently, you need to set a higher standard, especially in one specific area of human expression: how we dress. The key words regarding this issue are sensitivity and modesty. Here is an important reminder: Clothes that may be conservative in the world’s eyes, might still not be modest enough for church. To help you cultivate self-awareness in this sometimes confusing arena of Christian freedom (dress/style), we have provided the following guidelines that shepherd leaders will make sure are being followed. These guidelines apply to all music ministers (vocal and instrumental) and are VERY IMPORTANT!
WHAT YOU CAN WEAR
1. Colored clothing
2. Sunday best
3. Jewelry (modestly)
4. For SOLO/DUET/GROUP performances, please wear nice clothes.
5. Smiles! Smiles! Smiles!
WHAT YOU CANNOT WEAR
WOMEN
1. No hems on skirts or dresses that are more than two inches above the top of the knee. No pants.
2. No low-cut tops, tank tops, backless dresses, spaghetti strap dresses or halter tops.
3. No see through blouses (e.g., lace) without an underblouse.
4. Please wear proper undergarments.
5. No tight, form-fitting dresses (hint: any clothing that excessively outlines intimate parts of the body or underclothing is too tight.)
6. No hats
7. Dress shoes or boots (No flip-flops or tennis-shoes

Dress to draw attention to God, not to yourself.
When in doubt err on the side of modesty.

.For Sale or Trade
We have an Gulbransen Paragon organ we would like to sale or trade. It is in really good shape. Have no one to play it so it is just sitting in the church. We are asking $500.00 dollars for it or would like to trade for a set of drums. We are looking for instruments to help draw in the youth. If you are interested,
