The MUSIC TEAM IS TEACHING NEW SONGS TO THE CONGREGATION

We welcome the congregation to come early at 10:15 a.m. and join the MUSIC TEAM in learning new songs to praise the Lord! You may have noticed we are having a soloist sing as we pray the "The Lord's Prayer" in our hearts. A different soloist will be singing this masterwork every other Sunday, until we all join by singing the last part of it, and, eventually, the whole praying melody. Please pray in your hearts and say a praise to God at the end, as following a prayer.

MUSIK KIDS,  the CHILDREN

Children's ChoirAren't they inspiring gladness when they recite a verse and/or or sing at our worship service?

Thanks for your prayerful support. Practices for children's singing are scheduled for the opening of every Sunday School and most Sundays right after the 11:45 fellowship meal. It is planned that they lead the worship opening songs. We are discussing a time of music and singing sometime on Wednesday for community children.

OTHER MUSIC ACTIVITIES

On Thursdays at noon, we have soloists and small group practices via music director's appointment.
Another chamber group practices some Mondays at noon via appointment with music elder(s) Charlotte Powers and/or Jim Lathrop. They include Jodie W. , harp; and sometimes Stella I, cello.

RISING STARS SERIES

Rising Stars Series toward community music involvement, coordinated by Eleazar: Spring and Christmas seasons bring with them our Rising Star Series Music Recitals. In our Spring Music Recital, eight children from our San Jose community shared their musical talents and skills honoring our Creator and blessing our souls.

There is an Independence Pot Luck music parade ahead. Rising Music Stars, please sign up! Once a month at least, as an extension of God's love through the church, Eleazar and Rebeca coordinate a live music, and/or sing-along presentation for Live Oak or other community centers. They perform themselves or involve colleagues or music students.

Anyone interested please contact Eleazar Inciarte:
