Youth Choir Weekend, Part 2
On Sunday night, January 28th, our Youth Choir sang during the Evening Worship Service for those souls who were brave enough to venture out into the cold weather. We had a good number of our choir members participate in the 5:30 rehearsal and the 6:30 worship service. Following the service, all of the choir enjoyed a warming fellowship meal of hotdogs and chili in the Family Life Center.
The choir combined their voices with musicians of our Praise Band to sing an exciting arrangement of the spiritual "He Never Failed Me." Emily Herron did an outstanding job in singing the solos through the song. The choir also led the congregation in worship through some of their favorite songs: "Here I Am to Worship" and "The Potter's Hand." To close the service, the group, accompanied only by Marion Meibaum on piano, sang beautifully the benediction "May the Road Rise to Meet You."

Two impressions from Sunday night: First, I had just returned from a wonderful weekend at the Youth Project in Jackson, Tennessee. Over 500 singers beautifully singing 3 and 4 part harmony. Yet as I stood with our 25 singers, I was overcome with a sense of awe at the talent and commitment of our singers. I love their enthusiasm. I love their excitement. I love their desire for service. I love their voices when they sing. I just love being around them! And I am very proud and humbled to be able to serve as their director. What a group!
Secondly, they did an outstanding job on Sunday night! And they were excited, really excited about singing. They wanted to sing that song. And when they had done it, they were proud of what they had accomplished.

God has blessed us at First Baptist. We have teenagers who are excited about their faith; who are excited about their God; and who want to use their talents (not just in music) to serve. And we, as adults, have an obligation to lead them, to encourage them, and to guide them as they seek out opportunities to share their faith, no matter what the medium. WHAT A RESPONSIBLITY!
Thank You, Youth Choir for the wonderful job you did on Sunday Night. Thank You, Marion for the wondeful way you assist with this group. And Thank You, Darren and Chrisie for being such encouragers and leaders to this great group of teens.
