I thought I would just update everyone on what is happening in the worship ministry. The pictures are actually from our celebration service we had a couple months ago. I thought I would just throw them on.

It is a busy time. We have started a yearly review with our bands. So right now, we are in the process of reviewing each band member. This review consist of everything from their spiritual walk to to musicality. We talk about their strengths and areas where they can improve on as well. This is something new we are starting this year.

This Tuesday night we are having what we call "Vocal Placements". These are held for anyone that has a desire to sing in any of our vocal groups, or sing solos. This will also be a review for the vocalist as well. These Vocal Placements are a way to keep the Vocal team fresh, re energize their commitments, and grow us as singers. We will hold this on one night with everyone there. It is not going to be "American Idol". It will be a fun encouraging night for everyone.

We have also been blessed with about 4 new band members in the past few weeks. We have a new electric guitarist. His name is Matt Merlino. We also have a new acoustic guitarist. His name is Blake Edwards. JD Love has also come aboard to be a drummer. These new additions have helped fill out the 3 teams. We are always looking for new people though.

We are a little bummed because we are losing a dear family of our church. The Houcks are moving to North Carolina. Karen plays bass in one of our bands. She will be sorely missed. We are happy for them, but bummed that they will be leaving us as well.

The Praise Choir is up and running again. I continue to have new people each week that want to be a part of it. That is awesome.

Now we are just looking forward to each weekend service, as well as "Trunk or Treat", and the Christmas Program coming up in a couple of months.

Please continue to pray for each person involved in this ministry. Satan always attacks those who are being used by God.
