Youth Opportunities

We have some cool things planned for our youth who are involved in our Worship Ministry at Hilldale. Click on the picture below for a full-sized version of our latest ad.

Studentz Praize to Sing

Our student choir - Studentz Praize - will be singing this Sunday night for our evening worship service. I'm really glad they are going to sing. You may be surpirsed at how good they sound. Many of them, however, are a bit nervous about singing in front of others, so be sure and give them an encouraging word.

They need to be here at 4:45 in the Sanctuary/Worship Center to get in place and go through the song once. They will be switching choir time with Bible study time this week.

A Good Day

We had a good day at Hilldale today. The choir sounded great on their song and Tyson did a great job with the solo. The congregation sang well - even on songs that were a little new to them. Our guest speaker, Dr. Geoff Hammand, President of the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, delivered a powerful challenge to us to Seize a Divine Moment.
Then, Sunday night we heard mission reports in the service, had a good number in AWANA and LIFE University and - the part that has to do with music/worship - we had a great handbell rehearsal and StudentZ PraiZe choir rehearsal with 40 students there.

And... I had two flute players and a clarinet player tell me they were going to come to our Wind and Fire rehearsal.

It is so fun to have everyone all excited about our music/worship ministry. I see really great days ahead as we work and rehearse together getting ready for missions and worship and special events adn "the tree" and more. Woohoo!

Whenever I can get access to a computer and the internet I'll put a note here on the blog about my mission trip to Wales.

Beginning THIS Sunday

This Sunday is the start of TWO music/worship ministry ensembles.

Handbells will rehearse on Sundays from 5:00-5:45 in room 406 (the handbell room). We'll begin work on some new music including "How Great Is Our God" and a song that will be a part of "The Tree".

Our Studentz Praize ensemble is something new! It is for students in grades 6-12. We'll meet in Youth Building A from 5:45-6:30. We have a great new book called Made to Worship which includes songs like My Savior, My God, Made to Worship, You Are Incredible and more.

I'll be looking for ringers and singers Sunday night!
