Reaping the Harvest - Galatians 6:9

It's a very exciting time in our church, and it's an honor to be serving as minister of music and senior adults, especially at the present time. Galatians 6:9 tells us to not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up. Although there have been times I've been "tired of doing good," I feel like our church is presently "reaping a harvest of blessing," as the verse says. Just look around and see all that God is doing in our midst! To Him be the glory.

I love being with our team of ministers and staff! Sure, I get to do my part each week in preparing the music for the worship services, and in organizing and carrying out senior adult activities. But some of the most fulfilling times for me are when I get to do things with our staff, like this past week, when we fed the teachers and staff at Scudder. They received a blessing, and we did too!

Music Ministry

In music ministry, I ask you to pray that I continue to be guided by the Holy Spirit when choosing music for the worship services. I'm very thankful for the team of musicians that we have here at FBC! At the same time, please pray that the Lord would continue to draw people with musical gifts to our church. I would love for them to get plugged into the music ministry and use their talents to honor the Lord in our worship services.

Just think about all the music groups and soloists that we have right now, and thank God with me, for their active participation in using their skills to honor God each and every week: Sanctuary Choir, Praise Team, Orchestra, Bells of Praise, STOMP, Men's Choir, Joyful Noise, and the Ukeladies.

Kris Raven does a great job leading the Praise Team for our 10:45 a.m. service; Robin Williams has been blessing the church for so long as leader of the STOMP Children's Choir. Recently, David McCall has taken on the responsibility of leading the Men's Choir. And he's doing great with them! Neal Mallard is a "right hand person kind of guy" that organizes and distributes all the orchestra music for our 9:15 service. Each Wednesday Kathy Reno and Dorothy Martin work hard in the music library. These are the wonderful people that I simply couldn't do without! I also encourage you to read the blog entry below, where I mention the tech crew that works tirelessly in the audio/visual booth of our auditorium.

Senior Adult Ministry

Our senior adult committee continues to do a wonderful job planning and carrying out activities for our seniors. Pray that all senior adults in our church would see their place in God's big picture for FBC Wimberley! They are such a wonderful asset to our church in countless ways! I want all of them to have a connection with God each and every Sunday as they worship in our services, and a connection with each other, as they strive to encourage one another and build each other up in the faith. When opportunities come up to serve, pray that God moves their hearts with the realization that He is definitely not through with them yet!
