All Worship Chapel Wednesday June 5th

This is it, everyone!  Last chapel of the year!!
We've got 9 songs on the agenda.  Our last two practices have been great getting ready for this.

Can some of you bring a string or two of WHITE Christmas lights?  I'll try and bring some as well and we'll put them on our mic stands and speakers and keyboards.....

I WILL rent timbales and roto-toms.   DRUMMERS - only play on these when there isn't any singing happening as they will be loud.

Singers, there are several songs with opportunities for solos.  PLEASE let me know which ones you want and I'll assign - first come first serve.

Song Agenda for Chapel Jan. 16th

Hi Everyone!

Worship is about faith.  A lot of times we end up singing what others 'make' us sing in church, or in chapel.  How can that be from the heart?  I wont deny, it absolutely takes extra effort on the part of everyone who had no choice in the songs in a church or chapel service to sing those words/play those songs like they mean it.

I want to commend you all for doing just that.  For singing and playing with everything you have - not because you had to, but because you want to.  That makes God happy.  Its never perfect - if our expectation are set for perfection, we're bound to be disappointed.  Its about heart.

I'm praying that each of you will get your own personal 'word' or 'experience' from God.  Once God becomes REAL to you personally, everything changes.  Sometimes we lose that.  I certainly have, and I want it back.  Will you join with me Wednesday morning as we sing/play together... for God and to God?

Here's the songs:

You Are Good (Bethel)   Key of G

• Intro - E. Guitar solo with full band
