Current Rehearsal Items
Upcoming Anthems
We have had two very successful rehearsals. Today we were able to sing through the entire 'I Am A Promise' song. . . with instruments! Even the youngest members were quite proficient at playing their Rhythm Sticks. Ask your child to sing the 'I Am A Promise' song at home with claps for the instrument part they play. Some have rhythm sticks and others have jingle sticks.
Upcoming Hymns
We are concentrating on two songs from the blue With One Voice hymnal:
#744 Soon And Very Soon
#799 On Eagle's Wings
Beginning readers in the choir hold a colored index card under the lyrics being sung at that moment. I encourage you to guide your child during worship services to do the same on all the hymns. It really makes it easier for them to follow. I will place an index card in each of the kid activity packs located in the narthex for this purpose.
Upcoming Liturgical Song Studies
We are adding arm movement and sign language to the 'Lamb of God' song. This is sung during our worship service as a preparation for Communion. You can remind your child that another name for Jesus is the Lamb of God. Adam pointed out to me that the two fingers used to sign the word 'lamb' resemble scissors shearing away its wool. Ask your child to show you all the motions for the 'Lamb of God' song.
