WE HAVE THE BAND BACK TOGETHER!
 
1. If you did not get your picture taken at choir Wednesday, please be here early(6:15)  this Wednesday to have it taken for our directory. Thanks!
 
2. This is the link to the online information that goes into the directory:  https://forms.gle/qH8A6bJbCunnodxZ6
 
3. The yellow sheet in the front of your folder is our schedule for the fall with anthems and rehearsals. We're working on getting it on a calendar you can consult. (Joel is the bomb!!)
Note we are changing the October 9 anthem.
The one I wanted to do is back ordered.
 
4. We've ordered and received new folders for those of you who either "forget" to bring the three you have at home back, or who have patiently dealt with duct tape or other garbage. Some of you will get new ones this week. There is a hand strap on the folder as well as a strap to keep it from flopping open. You can take the strap on the bottom off, but leave it in your folder.
 
5. We have a great mission project for you! You can provide books for the Panama mission trip or med supplies. Marilyn Watson talked about it Sunday a.m.
Check out the information here:

More Yogi next week . . .
 
I am dealing with my anxiety to see Scottie Scheffler win the Tour Championship by reflecting on worship today.
 
There have been a few times that I've felt as good about what we've done, but sometimes those good feelings are ones of escape. Not today. We have the strongest group of men I've ever conducted in my choir. Getting ready today, I observed that when you all sang loud, I heard several voices, but not the best sound. You backed off a little and the resulting sound was wonderful. The wonderful sound lasted through the anthem and our pastor was musically and theologically correct to exclaim "Wow" after we sang.
 
LESS IS OFTEN MORE and you showed that today.
 
For reasons that aren't important now, we needed to sing what we sang today. However, coupled with our congregation singing "For Everyone Born" and the absolute JOY with which they sang it at the end of the morning, today was one of the best ever.
 
We sang two incredible truths today: "God will raise you up and hold you in the palm of his hand" and "God will delight when we are creators of justice, joy, compassion, and peace." I do believe that is a lot of the gospel.
