We had a great practice yesterday! People were still glancing a little at books, but EVERYONE is trying to memorize not only their lines, but the lines before them as their cues.
Remember, this Sunday we will meet as usual in the Kids' Choir Room until just before 6:00. Then we all will go to the FH for a Birthday Fiesta for Sept. & Oct. birthdays. We will especially honor Marin Grant (Sept 5), Mi'Kayla Burton, (Oct. 12), and Gracie Farmer (Oct. 13).
At 6:30, it's back up to the Choir Room for another practice until 7:00, when Miss Erin picks us up and we head to the gym for some free play after all that hard choir work!
Kids, remember what Miss Karla said yesterday when we were singing "Find Us Faithful:" YOU are an example. Just coming to choir practice is an example of faithfulness which other people notice. Although the performance is our main goal, part of our goal is just to continue running the race God has set before us. We have such a great cloud of witnesses, not only younger kids but teens and adults as well. Let's blow them away so that they will know that we're not running on our own. God in Christ through the Holy Spirit is what allows us to do our best.
You also need to keep practicing, especially if you do not know your lines!!! As our verse from Hebrews says, spoken so well last night by Bailey Standifer, "Since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us throw off everything that hinders (boredom, tiredness) and the sin that so easily entangles (video games, TV, Internet), and let us run the race of endurance (keep practicing), fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith."
In other words, all we have to do is ASK him to help us practice and He will carve the time out for you. You just have to notice it , thank Him, and grab it.
Adults, if you want a t-shirt, see Miss Lin or Miss Karla. We've already ordered sizes because we had to do it, but we have extras. They are also 10.00 each. If you haven't paid for the t-shirts, please do so ASAP. The church had to pay the printer when it was ordered, and these days, even a few hundred dollars is a big carry-over for our church from one month to the next. We appreciate your prompt payment.
We will see all of you great peeps Wednesday at 5:30!!!
