“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” (Proverbs 14:34)

Worship

We want to give God pleasure as we worship! Our chief end in worship is to magnify God and to enjoy His presence as we come together with hearts of thanksgiving and praise. Many make worship an issue of musical style and preference when that has nothing to do with it at all. Worship is about God, and He desires us to worship Him in spirit and in truth. We merely need to choose to worship Him, to lift up His name in praise – according to the truth - therefore the words we sing are more important than our preference for a certain style. But that is also why you will find many styles at Fellowship, because we love to praise God in many ways.

There are several opportunities for you and your family to serve the Lord and our church family in the worship ministry.

KIDS PRAISE: These are children’s choirs beginning at age four.  Music Time is for ages 4-5;Music Makers are children in grades 1-3, and for those children in grades 4-6, the Young Musicians is the choir that they will enjoy.  All of our children’s choirs rehearse on Wednesday evenings from 7:15 – 8:15 PM.  It is usual to have two concerts a year and the occasional appearance at Sunday worship services.  The Young Musicians often perform a humorous, but God focused musical.  Your children will learn a lot about music all while learning what it means to worship God in Spirit and in Truth.

YOUTH PRAISE: Our youth group has its own Praise Team, if your son or daughter has an interest in playing or singing with this ensemble, Pastor Jim would love to hear from you.

ADULT PRAISE:  Anyone over the age of 14 is welcome to sing in our Adult Choir. This choir rehearses Wednesday evenings from 8:15-9:15 PM.  For the Christmas season, we will be presenting a Christ focused musical that is full of worship and praise.  The choir has been known to sing at local rescue missions and assist in the serving of a meal as well.

Instrumentalist’s are welcome and are invited to audition their prepared piece for a Special Music segment for one of our services or perhaps you would like to be a part of our Worship and Praise Teams. These men and women are called of God to lead in worship at Fellowship. If you sense God calling you to participate in worship at Fellowship, please contact Jay Gaumer for an audition.

Occasionally, we also have a talent night, Valentine’s banquet or other event and your skills in music or drama would be a welcome addition to the fun and festivities.

SOUND/VIDEO Team: If you have a servant’s heart and an interest or abilities that would be an asset to our worship experience in the area of sound or video, we could use you!  The team rotates through weeks of service assisting the PRAISE Teams and choir during rehearsals and, of course, on Sunday morning.  We will provide training for you, so don’t let your lack of experience deter you from being a blessing in this way.
