On  Sunday, October 11th (updated date), the Chapel Choir and PraiSingers are joining together to sing Write Your Blessed Name in our morning worship services.  This will be a fantastic opportunity for our ensembles to lead our church in worship.  We were originally scheduled to sing on October 4th but we have moved that performance to October 11th. 

Here’s a link to a recording of the song, so you can begin to learn and memorize it.

No Rehearsals This Sunday!

This weekend is Labor Day Weekend, so we will not have any Student Music Rehearsals this Sunday, September 7th.  I know that all of you are heartbroken about it!  This means no Chapel Bells, High School Bell Ensemble, Chapel Choir, or PraiSingers.  Enjoy your afternoon off…they don’t come that often!

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!

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.

Spring Information Meeting

This Sunday, January 11, 2009, we will have a Student Music Information Meeting in the Student Impact Room following the morning services at 12:15 a.m.  We will be giving out important details concerning our two summer tours and our annual composer concert.  It is important that each student and at least one parent be present at the meeting.  Our Student Music meeting is in conjunction with our Student Mission Trip meetings.  If you cannot attend this meeting, please contact your director as soon as you can and let him or her know.  Regular ensemble rehearsals begin on Wednesday, January 7th.

The Holidays Are Coming!

It is hard to believe, but the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays are quickly approaching.  Our Student Ensembles have some exciting opportunities to lead in worship over this holiday season, and you don’t want to miss out on them.  First of all, we will not have rehearsals on Wednesday, November 26th or Sunday, November 30th.  Enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday with your family!

Our Student Ensembles have three major worship leadership opportunities in December.  First, on Wednesday, December 17th several of ensembles will lead the 180 Student Christmas Worship Service.  On Sunday, December 21st the Chapel Choir, PraiSingers, Chapel Ensemble, and Student Orchestra will provide all of the music for the three morning worship services.  That night, the Chapel Bells and PraisRingers will participate in our annual Ring and Sing Christmas Handbell Program.  

As you can see, we have a lot going on this holiday season.  Make sure that you attend every rehearsal you can so that we can all give our best for God’s glory!

Combined Choirs Leading in Worship

The PraiSingers and Chapel Choir will lead in evening worship on Sunday, September 28th at 5:30 p.m.  We will be singing Raise Up the Crown (click link for audio).  Students will need to wear their white Student Music Ministry t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans.  The dress rehearsal will be at 4:00 p.m on September 28th.  It’s very important that every participate in our first worship leadership opportunity of the year.

Fuel groups will be meeting on campus that evening, so you will not miss Fuel because of this worship leadership opportunity.  If you have questions or will not be able to participate, please contact David Toledo or Stacy Porter as soon as you can.
