Creating a godly atmosphere with a spirit of excellence!
If you haven't seen the "Music" page, there you will find video of the specials we have in church each Sunday. Mike also has a special introductory greeting for everyone, plus his periodic "music notes" news letter. There's a list of songs for Sunday and a music player with a compilation of piano music played during Communion. There's about an hour of spiritual, uplifting easy listening piano music to enjoy.
If you are considering joining the New Life music ministry, contact me. Our Choir sings twice a month with special seasonal presentations. Practices are every Wednesdays from 6-7 p.m. Praise Team members are scheduled for worship music one Sunday a month, rehearsing the prior Thursday at 4 p.m. The Praise Band members are instrumentalists who play every Sunday to accompany the Praise Team and they rehearse every Thursdays at 4:30 p.m.
If you would like to be part of the music ministry please feel free to call me at 407-683-0137. I would love to speak with you.
Blessing, Mike Thomas
