Our New Piano for the Betty Allen Choir Room is Dedicated!
 On January 11th, a dedication ceremony was conducted for the new piano in our choir room.  Matt Brown led the choir in a meaningful dedication ceremony for this wonderful instrument.  Following are excerpts from that service.
 
It was the duty of the trumpeters and singers to make themselves heard in unison in praise and thanksgiving to the Lord, and when the song was raised, with trumpets and cymbals and other musical instruments, in praise to the Lord,  "For he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever," the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud,  so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God. (2 Chronicles 5: 13-14)
 
“It is so often in music, through music that the Spirit ushers us into an experience of the glory of God. Thus, the ministry of music and the witness of the choir is vital to the ongoing life of the community of faith.  Our faith is enriched each week as voices are raised and God is praised and the Word of God is proclaimed in word and music.  The care and preparation we bring to the ministry of music are an important part of our effort to create an environment where grace may do its work.
 
It is with excitement that we look forward to the day those first notes of music filter out the doorway of the new Betty Allen Choir room.  Yet, we know that sound would be, if not muffled, at least diminished were there no instrument to accompany the voices.
 
Knowing that we stretched ourselves to be able to pursue the choir wing, knowing that it takes much more than an outer structure to constitute a music program, a most gracious and faithful family stepped forward with a generous gift that made possible the purchase of a wonderful instrument for the music program.
 

Tonight, we dedicate this piano to the glory of God with thanksgiving for the opportunity to sing God’s praise.”
