Come Worship With Us!
Welcome Back, Choirs!
The summer is almost over and it will, again, be time to SING and RING! As you read this - the Chancel Choir started rehearsals with a potluck and fall retreat on Wednesday, August 25th. The Jubilate Ringers will begin rehearsals on Wednesday, September 1st. I have truly missed the Chancel Choir and Jubilate Ringers and the beautiful music they offer each and every week. The music I have planned has arrived and I am so very excited about each and every number.
Our fall and Christmas schedule is pretty much filled in with music for the special Sundays and services through Christmas Eve. A lot of the numbers will combine the Chancel Choir with Jubilate Ringers and special orchestra members and instrumentalists. I would like to extend an invitation to everyone to be in prayerful consideration as we begin our rehearsals together. If you have been thinking about using your talent in the Music Ministry this year, now is the time to start.
Sunday, September 26th is being planned as a “Celebration of Those Who Make Music” with a special tribute to June Paul for her many years of love and dedication to the Jubilate Ringers. You won’t want to miss this special event. Also, the Jubilate Ringers are going to participate in a Handbell Festival on Saturday, October 16th, at Trinity Lutheran Church on Stewart Ave. here in Wausau.
The first Sunday for the Chancel Choir to sing at the 10:00am service will be September 12th. If there is anything that you need or questions you might have, please feel free to contact me at the church. I am here to serve the Lord and the members of this church. I am looking forward to a great liturgical year filled with music, drama, dance, and visual arts!
Confirmation
September 19th
On Sunday, September 19, four young women of our congregation will confirm their faith.
Kelsi Anderson
Salini Cole
Sydney Lillie
Erika Ness
These four have spent the past year learning – by both study, and more importantly by practicing – what it means to be a Christian. Please pray for them as this day approaches, but more than that, show them by your life what it means to be Christian, so they can keep on learning.
