Sunday Morning, September 30


This Sunday morning is a very special morning for me. We will have some guests with us that I've been wanting to introduce you to for a lonnnnnnnng time. I can't wait. Not to mention, I'm excited to be back from San Diego, and back with you! I heard you had a great service last week, and I expected nothing less.

Here's what's going on this week:

Sunday Morning Set:
Again I Say Rejoice
Say So
You are Good/Tu Bondad
Jesus at the Center

First Offering: Your Great Name
Second Offering: PD to play

Colors: Your choice - stay within platform guidelines

Frontline:
Soprano: Ashley, Cathy
Alto: Bonnie, Aida
Tenor: Epi, Russell

Don't forget, Sunday morning we need the ENTIRE TEAM - BAND, FRONTLINE, CHOIR at 8 am sharp. This is especially important with being ready for life groups.

Then we also have Christmas Production Sunday night rehearsal this week for choir and frontline - at 6 pm. If you have not already looked at the Christmas Rehearsal Schedule that was posted on Facebook and marked all the dates on your calendar, please do so!!

I love you all and look forward to what God will do this week.

Sunday, September 23

Bow wow ~ Bow wow ~ Bow wow... 
Okay, so only choir members understand the above photo and caption. We'll have to catch the band up to speed later! Ha ha! 

As I mentioned at rehearsal this week, Pastor Dustin will be leading you this coming Sunday, as I will be in California. (Please be in prayer for me!) I will be arriving back home early Monday morning, as I'm taking an overnight flight home. I so appreciate your prayers. 

I know Pastor Dustin will do an amazing job as well as the entire team and have no concerns about you having a phenomenal service. Please remember to be at church at 8 am sharp on Sunday morning to rehearse. You must finish by 9 AM to be ready for Life Groups. 

Worship Set is as follows:
 
Go
Give Me Faith
10,000 Reasons
Jesus at the Center

Pastor Dustin will announce the two songs for offering on Sunday morning and be prepared with any charts if they are needed.

Frontline: 
Soprano: Ashley,  Minerva
Alto: Bonnie, Cathy 
Tenor: Russell, Epi

Colors: Your choice, stay within platform guidelines

As I will not be here Sunday you do not have choir rehearsal this Sunday. I am currently preparing a rehearsal schedule through the actual Christmas shows, to give to you in the next few days. I am considering how much time we will actually need to do this with excellence.  I will be releasing the schedule to you shortly and ask that you prioritize this as much as possible so that we can achieve amazing things as a team and as a church.

God has put on my heart this week that we really need to be circling this outreach in prayer!!  Let's ask the Lord to prepare those we invite - that nothing would keep them from coming to the outreach event and that they would respond.

I love you all and thank God for each of you daily! Truly He has put an amazing team together in the heart of Tampa.

Hugs,

Sunday, September 16


We are learning a new song this week, 10,000 Reasons, and I posted the song and lyrics earlier in the week. Please familiarize yourself with the song before Sunday.

I had originally announced that Jordan would not be here the 16 and 30th and to make provisions for such. Plans have changed - he will be here this weekend, the 16, but not the 30th. So, Mike will still be on the bass this week, not the drums.

We are doing a shortened set this week so that we can learn new material. It will take a while to find our way with having to be done strictly at 9:00 every week, with Life Groups. Again, we really need to get started right at 8 am, no matter who is there or who is not.

Here's this week's set:

Happy Day
Say so
10,000 Reasons

Offering:  Give Me Faith

Colors: Your choice

Frontline:
Soprano: Minerva & Cathy
Alto: Aida and Bonnie
Tenor: Epi &  Russell

A reminder that we have rehearsal for Christmas this Sunday after service. It will just be choir and frontline, not band. We will start with lunch together. The theme is soup & sandwiches. Please see Candy Rivera and let her know what you are bringing. Each person/family also needs to bring a 2-liter beverage.

I look forward to sharing this time with you. I love and appreciate all of you and look forward to what God will do in the coming months.

New Song:
10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)



10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord)

Chorus 1
Bless the Lord O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name

Verse 1
The sun comes up it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes

Verse 2
You're rich in love and You're slow to anger
Your name is great and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find


Verse 3
And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore


Misc 1
(ENDING)
Worship Your holy name
Lord I'll worship Your holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
Worship Your holy name
Worship Your holy name

Sunday, September 9


 This is a special week being that Life Groups are starting. I don't want to throw anything new or extra into the mix this week being that our focus is getting our groups to launch right. Teachers all need to be in their classrooms by 9:00 AM. That includes me, as well as many of our people within the music ministries. We need to get started right at 8 am and be done by 9.  This is essential so Life Group teachers can be set up in their rooms and others can attend the classes on time.

How much new material we do in the future depends on how punctual our team is on Sunday mornings.

Worship Set:
Again I Say Rejoice
Like a Lion
I'm Not Ashamed
My All

Communion: Lead Me to the Cross

Offering: I Lift My Hands

Colors: Your choice - stay within platform guidelines

Frontline:
Soprano: Cathy & Ashley
Alto: Aida and Bonnie
Tenor: Epi & Russell

We do have afternoon choir rehearsal for Christmas. This will just be choir and frontline. I know I said we would do a potluck this week but upon further thought, I want to wait another week. Again, our focus needs to be a successful Life Groups launch this week so let's keep our focus there.

Love and appreciate you all,
