We have just finished a wonderful Christmas holiday season and are beginning the rehearsals that will take us into the Easter season and through another great year singing for the Savior.  We would like to encourage anyone interested in joining the choir to come to rehearsals on Sundays at 5:00 pm in the Sanctuary.

For many years I have seen men and boys with the mistaken notion that it was not “manly” or “cool” to sing.  I have always pointed them to Jesus as He instituted The Lord’s Supper and led the disciples in song, along with the many other times that the Bible instructs us to sing to The Lord.  So, for some of you resistant men, I want to list the “TOP TEN REASONS WHY MEN NEED TO JOIN THE CHOIR”:

1. Rehearsals are on Sunday afternoons.  Which means that for those few minutes you can significantly reduce your risk of getting tendonitis from nonstop clicking of the TV remote control or computer mouse.

2. Because you wear a choir robe, you are liberated from the less than manly task of coordinating your Sunday wardrobe.

3. From your special vantage point, looking over the entire congregation, you can play a little game of “Who’s Sleeping and Who’s Praying?”

4. On the other hand, being in view of a sanctuary full of people on a weekly basis makes it much less likely you yourself will give in to a chronic loss of sleep – although it’s been known to happen.

5. If you think your singing in the shower sounds good now, wait until you have sung with us for a few weeks.

Next week, the remaining “TOP TEN REASONS WHY MEN NEED TO JOIN THE CHOIR”.
