Worship and Music Committee Annual Report – 2011
Our goal is to provide for meaningful worship experiences that include Word, Prayer, Communion and Music. Other responsibilities include changing paraments, decorating for seasons and festivals, scheduling volunteers to provide communion bread, and providing support for Choir Directors, Worship Coordinators, Acolytes, Worship Hosts and Nursery.
Sunday worship at 8:30 a.m. offers a more traditional or blended service. Sunday worship at 11:00 a.m. and Worship on Wednesday (WOW) at 6:30 p.m. offer a printed contemporary service. WOW Worship includes a meal, education time, 45 minute worship, and nursery. During the Lenten season we used the Holden Evening Prayer Service. The Ten Commandments was the Lenten theme for the puppet ministry and messages shared by members of the congregation. Because of many generous donations we were able to replace the communion cups and chalices. We had a dedication and began using them in September.
We are blessed to have received many varied contributions from our members. Our Assisting Ministers are invaluable in helping lead worship services. Choirs perform during the school year and greatly enhance our services. Many people offer their vocal and instrumental gifts for special music and to help lead worship services. Acolytes add a special dignified touch and Deb Robinson continues to lead this program. Worship Hosts provide duties for worship services each week and this program is coordinated by Kathy Kuebelbeck. Volunteers provide communion bread and wine, help decorate the church, and change paraments. We thank you all.
We welcome new committee members, and request your support, feedback and prayers as we seek to carry out God’s mission in our worship and music here at Resurrection.
