2007-2008 Participants

The Bible contains many exhortations to the faithful to sing "Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God." (Col. 3:16) On Church Music Weekend, May 3 & 4, as the choirs begin to wind down we say "thank you" to those who have led us in praising God during the past year, especially those who direct, accompany and help our choirs. We ask the blessings of the Holy Spirit upon our music ministry so that we may continue to be the instruments of God's will.

 

This year we also thank God for the life and ministry of Thyra Horner, a faithful former Choir member in this church and her former church in Shelby, who passed away this year. She was a friend to us all.

AND SPECIAL THANKS TO...

Five of our members serve the Lord as church musicians and lay assistants in other congregations. We also thank God for their ministries in the greater Christian community – organists Cindy Bennett, Kevin Jacque, Joel Tooman and Cindi Twining, and lay leader Dave Lewis.

 

While the everyday expenses of our music ministry come from our congregation’s operating budget, the costs of special events are partially underwritten by the Trinity Music Fund, originally established by Marjorie M. Ginn, with additional bequests from Mrs. Ginn, Marvene Mateer and Geneva Cole.

 

The ministry of the children's choirs is supported by the W. Harold and Laura May Hoover Children's Choir Fund.

 

Special funds to help the Saturday Night and Praise Worship services have also been established by anonymous donors.

 

New or additional gifts are welcome at any time. Please contact Pastor Mitchell or Ron Marenchin for more information.

 

Our first Bach Vesper service on November 5, 2006 was given in memory of Dr. James Bragg and Michael Bragg by Mrs. Marcelle Bragg and William and Stephanie Bragg.

 

The renovation of our 1910 sanctuary Steinway grand piano, re-dedicated on January 4, 2004, was an example of the generosity of our members for the glory of God.

 

Thank you!
