 Sharings God's Grace with
our Ministry of Music
Grace Hosts Lord of Light Music Presentation With Symphonette, Sunday, March 21, 7PM
Grace will host four Woodstock churches in a musical presenta-tion of the story of Jesus‘ life on earth, last supper, crucifixion and resurrection told musically by 50 plus singers, a narrator, 6 story tellers and a 20 member instrumental ensemble. The music encompasses both traditional and contemporary styles yet is presented in concert form. This event is an ecumenical experience and so is held in the evening instead of during regular worship hours. We hope you will support it. The free will offering will be given to WACM and the Family Health Partnership Clinic. Those who would like to join the singers Please contact Ron Fredriksen at: rfredriksen@gracewoodstock.org Rehearsals are Wednesdays 8-9 p.m.

Festival
Choirs/Children’s Christmas Program - Festival
rehearsals are mostly Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. (some Thursdays)
as scheduled in advance of Christmas, Transfiguration, Easter,
and other festival weekends. Singers who are unable to commit to
a regular choir but still wish to sing a few times a year will
find our Festival Choirs a great option. Grace’s children present an annual Christmas Program in December.
Rehearsals for drama and singing parts begin in November and are usually
on Saturdays. All children who wish to participate are welcome—from
the biggest shepherd right down to the littlest angel!
Instrumentalists - Instrumentalists
of all kinds and abilities are welcome to share their gifts with
the congregation in solo, ensemble and large group settings.
Our 10:45 a.m. Sunday contemporary service band is a great place
to join an ensemble in uplifting praise music. The ability to
read music (chord symbols for guitar and bass) is necessary.
Help will be provided for those who need assistance in preparing
to join this group. Our 8:30 a.m. and festival worship services
often involve small and large orchestral accompaniments. We are
seeking players for new ensembles, especially brass. Small group
and individual instrumentalists also enjoy playing at our relaxed
5:00 p.m. Saturday service. Contact Ron Fredriksen to learn how
you can use your instrument in God’s praise!
Sight
and Sound Team -
Singers or non-singers can help our music
ministers by setting up and taking down equipment used for our
presentations, including sound technicians. Teams would help
with contemporary services and special services including cantatas
and children’s presentations.
Special
Music Offerings - Individuals,
duets, small groups and other opportunities are always available for those
who wish to share their gifts in worship! Piano accompanists are also needed
for our children and youth choirs.
