Children’s Sonlight Choir
Spring Semester 2008

The Sonlight Choir

• seeks to encourage and equip children to participate in worship
• provides opportunities for children to use their talents for God’s glory
• nurtures children’s understanding of and relationship with God

Our Spring musical will be performed on Saturday, April 26 with regular rehearsals on Tuesday afternoons, and special rehearsals scheduled as the date of the musical nears. Click on the link above for a complete rehearsal schedule.

We have been privileged to have wonderful volunteers to assist us in past years, for which we are very thankful!   This year, we have many “holes” to fill in our network.   Here are some opportunities for you to share your gifts!

The following needs are semester-long commitments:

Prayer Team -  individuals who will commit to pray

•  for the children in the choir and their families, that God’s purpose for their lives would be fulfilled
•  for the workers involved, for health, for God-given creativity and energy
•  for the truth of these songs to resonate in the hearts of the children and in those that hear their message

Parent Assistants  (2 or 3 would be great!)

• help with keeping children focused during rehearsals (reminding kids to listen, etc..)
• escorting children to restroom in emergencies (we do not want children to be unattended)
• help with “crowd control” during dinner

• works with music and drama directors in designing and creating set/scenery
• helps assemble needed materials and helps with placement of set on stage for last week of rehearsals

Whew!!           As you can see, there is a lot of work involved in putting something like this together, but I think you will find the experience rewarding, and worth the effort.   We hope this will be a meaningful and memorable experience for your child.
