Micah's ready for a haircut.  Except he needs to grow some hair first!

Choir

Tonight, for the first time in my life, I will be directing a choir. I'm not gonna lie... it makes me both nervous and excited. I've sang in many choirs, but never led one. So this will be stretching me a bit. We will be learning "My Savior Lives" and "Mighty to Save," both in preparation for Easter. Easter gets me pretty pumped. It's like the super bowl for worship leaders. Not because it's a competition, or a performance, but because there is nothing more exciting the celebrating Jesus raising from dead! So in that sense, I'm excited about tonight; excited to sing with a group of people about the power of the resurrection. But sometimes choirs get a bad reputation. Sometimes choirs can butcher some really great songs, some times they're distracting, sometimes they're boring, and sometimes they are just bad.

There is a pretty cool choir found in the bible. Revelation chapter 5
"Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders.  In a loud voice they sang:
'Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!'
Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing:
'To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!'"

Wow!  I hope our choir is like that!

Join us.  The next 3 Wednesday's from 6:30pm-7:15pm at Hillside Community Church.
