Back to School Fellowship

Our first Chapel Choir and PraiSingers rehearsals start this Sunday, August 30th at 4:00 p.m.  Chapel Choir meets in the Choir Suite and the PraiSingers meet in room 228.  Following the rehearsals, we will all meet in the Student Impact Room for a Back to School Fellowship from 5:00 -- 6:00 p.m.

Here’s what we are doing at the fellowship:

• Sharing some exciting details about what we are going to do in the coming year
• Watch some of the slideshows of the previous year’s tours
• Play some fun games
• Have Ice Cream Coke/Root Beer Floats
• Play our own version of “Don’t Forget the Lyrics.”

If you have never seen this show before, check out the video below to get an idea of what goes on.  We will randomly select a few students to participate.  It should be a blast!

Adult Volunteer Opportunities

One of the most crucial elements of the FBC Keller Student Music Ministry is the interaction between our students and compassionate, concerned adult volunteers.  There are many ways for parents to be involved, and they don’t require a lot of time. 

We have the following ministry opportunities for parents:

• Food – it takes a lot of food to keep our students going!  Every time we sing on Sundays and occasionaly in rehearsal, we provide breakfast or snacks for our students.
• Rehearsal Attendance – we like to have a parent in each rehearsal to help with anything the director might need and to invest in the lives of students.
• Prayer Partner – the spiritual growth and development of our students is the primary focus of our ministry.  As a prayer partner, you will receive a list of students that you will commit to pray for on a regular basis.
• Planning & Publicity – it is important to help get the word out about upcoming events.  These volunteers will work with our choir officers and leadership in promoting Student Music events.
• Student Contact – it’s important that students are contacted regularly by our adults via mail, email, Facebook, text message, etc.  These parents will assist the leadership in communicating with students.
• Fellowships – we try to plan several fellowship opportunities where our high school and middle school students can connect.  If you would be willing to assist with these fellowships or would potentially agree to host one, please let us know.

If you are interested in serving in any of these areas, please complete the form below.

Fall 2009 Kick Off Meeting

 The Fall 2009 Student Music year will begin on August 23, 2009 at 4:00 p.m. in the S.I. Room.  Our Fall Kick Off Meeting is the place for you to find out about all of the exciting opportunities for ministry and service that are available this year.  We will be sharing information concerning our ensembles, audition sign-ups, and our summer tours.  This is a perfect time for new students to get plugged in and connected with our ministry.  Parents are strongly encouraged to attend and ask lots of questions.  If you cannot attend but have questions, please contact David Toledo.
