Worship Choir Notes
Thanks I want to thank Marcia, Lin, and Braeden for filling in for me and taking on extra responsibilities this week, as I enjoy some family time on vacation. I am looking forward to being back with you Sunday, as we worship the Lord together. Have a great rehearsal tonight. Eddie
Night of Worship Concert—October 7 The Worship Choir will be joining the choirs from Old Fort Baptist and Miles Road Baptist, in a night of worship and praise, here at SBC, on Sunday, October 7, at 5:30 PM. We will be singing some of the songs from the book, Let the Rocks Keep Silent, in regular services here, so if you have listened to a song and would like to be considered for one of the solos in the collection, let Eddie know. In the October concert, I will be conducting three or four of the songs for which I will provide soloists. The other conductors will provide their soloists to sing that night. Those songs have yet to be selected by the directors. Feel free to take the book home and practice your songs. Just remember to bring your book back to rehearsals on Wednesdays. We will use the books at the concert.
Bonus Rehearsal for October Concert Worship Choir will be having a bonus rehearsal on Saturday, August 25, from 8:00 AM-12:00 PM, to work on the October Concert music. We will have breakfast at 8:00 AM and then begin rehearsals at 9:00 AM. Please make this a priority on your schedule, as we prepare for October 7.
Worship Choir Vision 2018 Last year our choir officers and myself met and shared in discussions about the choir year and set some goals for the year. I’ve shared some of those goals and strategies to reach them, so that this year will be like no other we have experienced. Some of the goals for this year include:
• Increase enrollment and attendance by 20% during 2017-18 – (71 to 85 enr. Currently 68) (42 to 50 att. Currently 45)
• Expand Care Groups to 12, to accommodate larger enrollment
• Increase fellowship opportunities for choir – two major outings, in addition to monthly parties
• Provide at least two opportunities for the choir to sing/minister, outside regular church service worship leading – service projects; mission trips; concert opportunities
• Continually stress the importance of personal spiritual development and growing relationships – to God, to other Believers, and the non-Believer
• Congregational songs without folders – using words on screen
• Memorization of choir anthems on a monthly basis
Your Invitation Makes a Difference Inviting someone to choir not only grows our group, but allows others in our congregation to serve the Lord and use their gifts and talents in ministry. Consider asking someone you know to be a part of the Worship Choir family. It helps them connect with others in meaningful service and worship each week and can be the catalyst for growth in their spiritual life. Your invitation can make a difference in our choir and in their life forever. Ask someone today.

Summer Sectional Attendance Contest Encourage members of your vocal section to be present at choir on Wednesdays and Sundays, during the summer months. Your faithful attendance is great encouragement to the congregation and others in the choir, as we learn new music and lead the church in worship each week. Contest runs now through Labor Day. Should you know you will be out of town, be sure to sign out on planning center, so it does not count against your section. See Matthew Jones for more details.
Planning Center Don’t forget to check-in each week in planning center. You can see the Sunday service and hear demo recordings of our choir song, to help in your preparation.
