Issue 1
Ephesians
4:11-12 Christ chose some of us to be apostles, prophets, missionaries,
pastors and teachers so that his people would learn to serve
and his body would grow strong.
After returning from the FABM musicians conference at Green Lake I
feel renewed and re-energized in my music ministry. Those of us who
are involved in a music program have to do a little bit of everything
in the list in Ephesians. More than anything, our job is to serve.
I am making a renewed commitment to serving my congregation, pastor
and myself with the best
music I can find. Whether you direct, play, sing or ring in the choir
or are a part of the congregation, you can also serve by giving your
best to your congregation in your singing, ringing and listening.
Book alert - "Music
and the Mind" by Anthony Storr - Great! Great! Great!
I think you get the picture. Storr explores the power of music and
why it is such an important part of our culture.
I am attaching a short service
of commitment that you can use at a choir rehearsal or even
in your worship service.
More news on the next train.
