EASTER SPECIAL ENSEMBLE
Calling all singers! Would you like to praise God as part of an ensemble (small choir) this Easter for a special music offering? Here is your opportunity! An audition will be held immediately following the service on Sunday, February 23rd. Rehearsals will be roughly 30 minutes long, immediately following services on 3/2, 3/9, 3/23, 4/6, and 4/13. Easter is on 4/20, and this song will be the opening song of our Easter service. Participants will need to be able to attend all rehearsals with any potential absences approved of in advance. Please direct all questions to Ann and let her know if you would like to audition so she can plan accordingly. Here is the song so you can listen to it, pray about it, and see if it is something you would like to be a part of.

WORSHIP SONG - FEBRUARY
As we continue to build our understanding of prayer, the first directive Jesus gave us in The Lord's Prayer is to cry out to our Father whose name is holy. Through cultivating a deeper, consistent life of prayer and connection with God, we long even more to be with Him.
Hymn of Heaven by Phil Wickham
