Great Conference Coming Up

Wow! Where can you find - in one place - exciting ideas, ministry tools, inspiration and great music? The Tennessee Music Ministry Conference.

Where can you hear the TN Baptist Men's Chorale and Ladies Chorale and Keith and Kristyn Getty in concert? The Tennessee Music Ministry Conference.

Who are the Gettys? They are part of the writing team that has brought us such great new hymns and worship songs as In Christ Alone and The Power of the Cross.

Oh! And here's a cool extra treat. On Saturday, our kids who have attended the Kids Choral Connection are invited to join other KKC kids and sing WITH the Gettys for the final worship time!

This conference is for ALL music leaders: Worship Leaders, Adult Choir members and leaders, Youth Choir leaders, Preschool and Children's Choir leaders, Praise Band leaders and members (the Daniel Doss Band will lead this track), Instrumental Music Leaders and Players, Handbell Ringers, Pianists, Worship Tech leaders and operators and Preaching Pastors.

There are better pictures and a much better explanation of the Tennessee Music Ministry Leadership Conference coming up August 14-15 at Brentwood Baptist Church on the TBC web site. Check it out.

Kids Choral Connection

... is happening even as I type. I thought you might like to see a little of what has happened so far.

Kids Choral Connection is Today!

Woohoo! It's gonna be fun.

If your child is coming he/she needs to be at church at 5:00 for a pizza supper. We'll have a really fun evening and then get back together Saturday for more singing and recording a CD! I'm going to wear my red shirt from last year.

Kids Choral Connection

At last count there were over 350 kids coming to Hilldale this Friday and Saturday for the TBC's annual Kids Choral Connection.

We'll have a wonderful time as we learn some songs, have times of fun and times of worship and at the end we'll record a CD! How cool is that?

Kids Choral Connection is for kids in what most churches call the Young Musicians Choir. Some churches it is grades 4-6, some, like ours, is for kids 3-5 grade. We've looked at the music and are ready to join all of the other kids Friday for a pizza supper, rehearsal (getting ready for the concert/recording session) and a fun time to end the evening. If for some reason your child didn't get signed up for this wonderful weekend, you can probably still register. There just won't be a t-shirt available. That deadline passed a few weeks ago. But it will still be a huge weekend (and there could possibly be a t-shirt if there are extras).

Rumor has it that Jingles will make an appearance again this year - possibly Saturday morning. We'll have to see. Here's a picture of Jingles from last year.

Check in next week for pictures from this year's KCC.

A Hint of Things to Come

Look at this! Your Worship Pastor and Children's Pastor are famous!

More Kid's Choral Connection

We had a wonderful time at the KCC. (Not to be confused with KFC.) The children sang beautifully. I wish you could have heard the sound when 450 kids were all singing together. The CDs will be ready in about a month.

Here are a few m ore pics.

Kid's Choral Connection

We had a great time at the Kid's Choral Connection. The kids sang beautifully. I'll post more later, but wanted to put up this picture and video.

The video is a game we played called "Meteor Showers".
