REFLECTIONS ... by Joanne Rupp


The Worship and Music Committee has been reflecting.  At the last meeting we talked about how the congregation likes worshiping together in the summer.  We talked about making special pictorial directories for the pews so we could identify people we don’t know.  (Actually we talked about asking Shepherding to make up the directories.)  We talked about how we liked having the kids involved in the Palm Sunday worship services.  And then the light bulb went off.

The committee would like to propose a change, beginning in the fall…SECOND SUNDAY SINGLE SERVICE.  Family Worship, 8:30 and 11:00 would all be together in the church for one Sunday (the second Sunday) each month.  Worship would be at 10:00 and we would alternate between 8:30 (piano) and 11:00 (organ) styles.  The Parish Choir and Bell Choir would also alternate and the Children’s Choir will sing every month.  We would hope the kids would also participate as readers, ushers and altar guild at this service.

Let’s talk about this idea.  If you have any questions or strong feelings about this, please send an email to the office or talk to any of the committee members:  Joanne Rupp, Janet Hornich, Karen Jennison, Betty Lanka, Kathy Rustwick, Rod Briscoe or Pastor Summer.
