Exciting Worship Arts Ministry News! (May 2012)

I am excited to announce news about our Jr. Talent Choir results at the recent North Georgia Jr. Talent Choir Competition.  I am also excited to announce the formation of our new senior adult choir, and the Mother's Day ladies choir, the new name for our sanctuary choir, and the release of our new worship arts ministry web page!


Jr. Talent Competition:  I am very pleased and excited to announce that our middle school choir received a superior rating at the recent North Georgia Jr. Talent Competition on Saturday, April 21, 2012!  Our students competed and were winners, several receiving superior ratings in a number of categories, including bible memorization, bible teaching, solo instrumental, vocal solo, art/crafts/sculpture, and choral.  Thanks to all the kids, parents, and their wonderful director (my wife), Philana Stafford, who did a fantastic job!


Senior Adult Choir: The new senior adult choir, called The South Metro Heritage Singers, met for the first time Sunday evening, April 29, 2012 with approximately 40 in attendance.  It was a wonderful evening of fellowship and gospel singing!  This newly formed choir will be leading the church in worship on Sunday, June 10, 2012 in both morning services featuring songs of our heritage including gospel hymns and convention songs. 
Mother's Day Choir: We just concluded recruitment for the newly formed Mother's Day Ladies Choir which will be comprised of mothers and daughters.  This group of almost 80 registered singers will lead us in worship Sunday, May 13, 2012 in both morning services.


Sanctuary Choir New Name: After months of deliberation I am pleased to announce as of May 1, 2012, the new name for the adult sanctuary choir which sings each Sunday morning and leads our congregational worship, is The South Metro Voices of Praise! This fitting new name will be used for events, concerts, web information, promotion, and recruitment. 
NEW Worship Arts Ministry Web Page Coming Soon!  We have been working on the development of a new worship arts ministry page that will provide more information about the ministries and how to get involved as well as helpful resources which will include access to planning center, the new worship arts ministry facebook page, as well as the worship arts ministry blog.  The new ministry web page will be released in May 2012!
