Praise And Worship

"I will enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart, and into His courts with praise. I will say this is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice for He has made me glad" (poem based on Psalm 100:4)

Our Lord calls us to a life of thanksgiving and praise. True worship ushers us into God's presence and invites Him into ours. Saint Anne's worship teams; the Choral Choir, Praise Teams, and soon forming Children's Choir, Chime Choir, and Choristers are all called of God to lead the congregation of believers into His Presence, to usher in the Holy Spirit, and to create a worship rich environment where God can meet with His people. I invite all who sing or play an instrument or those who desire to learn to sing, to consider using their gifts to honor Him and answer the high call of a musician. There are several opportunities available to you:

CHORAL CHOIR

The Choral Choir is an advanced choir whose only prerequisite is that you be familiar with choral singing and can read music. Our choral choir leads the 8:00 congregation in worship. The Choral Choir focuses on traditional choir works both from the classical library as well as the modern library of anthems. The Choral Choir is also the lead worship team for our Liturgical days of celebration - Advent, Christmas, Easter, and other special occasions. The Choral Choir rehearses on Thursday nights from 7:00 to 9:00 under the direction of April Snyder our Organist. It is requested that they be at Church on Sunday morning no later than 7:30 to warm up and get robed. Orchestral and brass instruments are welcomed.

PRAISE TEAM

Our Praise Teams lead the 10:30 service in praise and worship. Our focus is on contemporary praise music. We incorporate all forms of instrumentation (orchestral and brass instruments as well as guitars and other traditional Praise Band instruments). Youth are encouraged to join us to learn and gain confidence and experience in leading worship. There are two rehearsal times available.

Praise team 1 rehearses on the Saturdays before the first and third Sundays of each month from 12:30 - 2:00 pm.

Praise team 2 rehearses on the Thursdays before the second and fourth Sundays of each month from 5:00 -7:00 pm.

It is requested that you be at Church no later than 9:45 a.m. on Sunday to prepare for the service.

CHIME CHOIR

Our Chime Choir is for ages 8 and up and makes a wonderful family activity. Pastor Kathleen will be assisting us prepare for chimes at Christmas. Rehearsal times will be immediately following the 10:30 service and will be posted ahead of time.

CHILDREN'S CHOIR

Beginning in January of 2008 we will start our Children's Choir. All those interested should contact Ed Stubbs.

CHORISTERS

Also new for 2008, the Choristers is designed for teens thru adults who would like to sing in a choir setting but have not had the opportunity to learn how to read music or who would like voice training. It is an entry level choir which will work with familiar settings of contemporary as well as classical works. The Choristers will minister at the 10:30 service and join with the Choral Choir for special seasonal works.

I am very excited about all of the music we have to offer our Lord and look forward to working with all of you who desire to be a part of this ministry. If you have any questions contact Ed Stubbs at 966-2950, or e-mail me at edstubbs@saintanneschurch.net
