I will sing and make music


My heart is steadfast, O God,
my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and make music.


Awake, my soul!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn.

Psalm 57:7-8


Week 2 begins...

For everyone's benefit, here are the updates for this Wednesday, January 30--Week 2 of Make Me an Instrument.

(1) Locations for teaching groups: John Manasco - upstairs Nursery room; Megan Eubanks - downstairs Preschool room; Marty Ford - downstairs Youth room; Trent Pekkala - auditorium; (Jordan, Zack, and Julie - same as last week)
(2) Supplies available: Some of you have requested guitar supplies...so we will have these for sale Wed. night...Korg GA-30 Guitar Tuner - $15, Guitar Chord Chart Book - $3, Black Pearl Medium Guitar Picks - 25 cents.
(3) Some new group assignments in an effort to align the students' levels of experience: Sly Nunn move to Trent Pekkala's group, Christian Caudill move to Marty Ford's group, Hudson Diener add to Trent Pekkala's group.
(4) Everyone will get a copy of the chords for the song "You Are So Good to Me." We will play it using D and G (no bridge yet) just to experience moving from one chord to the other, practicing the simple strumming pattern for guitar, and a basic beat for the drums.

REMINDERS: Practice a little each day. On Wednesday, plan to come a little early to set up, get tuned, etc.--we want to try to start right at 6 pm. Pack up and clean up at 6:35, Meet in upstairs lobby for prayer at 6:40.

Teachers or parents or kids with questions--you may post them in the comment section below if you wish. Get ready to be an instrument of worship on Wednesday night!

I bought Corynn's guitar from BoB Green(sells guitars)--Does this make it any better? I thought maybe it might be better than the little ones at walmart.

"Bob's Banjo Barn....Chillicothe, OH. I would say that it is better. He sells some cheaper brands....but they are probably all better than a guitar from Walmart. He sells guitars that will tune."
