Good times: Music at FBC

Music at First Baptist is fun. Last night we had our weekly choir rehearsal and there were lots of laughs and lots of good feeling as we practiced the anthems we will be singing in the coming weeks. I don't know if every choir has as much fun as we do, but they should.

The group works hard every week but they also enjoy getting together with each other. That's good because being part of the choir demands a commitment. It means rehearsing regularly and being available on Sunday mornings from September through June. Last night we celebrated the birthdays of Nancy Allen, Helen Walker and Lori Lord during our break. Yeah, we take breaks too so we can have a hot or cold drink and a snack.

This year we have two new members so far. Shawn Rucker and Cindy Costa have jumped on board. We can use more help too if anyone reading this is interested. You don't need to be a member of the church to join. You just have ot enjoy singing God's praises.

Tonight our Praise team was practicing at the church. Thwey are going to sing on Sunday and they were working on a special song. The group usually plays on the fourth Sunday of the month and brings a little different flavor to the service. We have two guitars, Steve Contois and Cheryl Dutrumble, a bass guitar, Fred Green Sr., two vocalists, Gwyn Green and June Deptulski and a drummer, Penny Sargent. We are looking for a key board player and some more vocalists. If you are interested, please let us know. We don't pay anyone, but the Praise team has the appreciation of the whole congregation.
