We encourage the young people at our church to sing or play specials.
I'm so thankful that they are so willing and eager to serve in the
music ministry.
They are the next generation. I guess you could
say that we are training our future choir.
It is so much easier to train children than adults. Sorry, but it's true!
I know! I'm talking to one....myself :)
It works best to schedule them on Wednesday or Sunday nights for
a couple of reasons.
1. Shorter offertories are best suited for the smaller attendance at
evening services.
2. A smaller crowd seems less intimidating :)
As they become more comfortable, we move them to the Sunday
morning service.
Our church family enjoys seeing the young people serve the Lord through music.
They are very supportive, with lots of "Amens". The kids in turn are
encouraged and beginning preparing for their next music special.

Just found your blog through musicmattersblog.com This looks like a great resource! Love it!
Thanks Rebecca for visiting!
I'm glad it's a help.
Thank you for your wonderful site. It is an encouragement to all of us who are called to this wonderful service. I kinda think of myself as one of the Levites....Music, music, music and more music! Your ideas and hints for great playing are quite helpful and no matter how long we have sat at that piano....there is always room for improvement. thanks!
Thank you Ruth. Your kind words are an encouragement to me as well.
