In last week's post I mentioned the formation of a "Worship Music Advisory Team" (complicated name, simple task). That team has been formed and will meet on Thursday, November 26th. The team will meet on the Thursday before a fifth Sunday. There will be no regular worship team rehearsal in light of the 5th Sunday being led by the Youth Worship Team. As there are so many who are interested in serving on this team, the members may rotate as there are only so many meetings a year. The members for this go-around are myself, Tom, Missy, Wendie, and a congregational member yet to be determined. Here's how you can support this team:

- Pray for us as we begin to prepare for our meeting in November.
- Make suggestions to any member regarding songs you think we should add (or subtract) from our repetoire.
- Provide actual music (recordings or lead sheets/music) for the team to review when they meet.

The function of this team is to review the active repetoire of the Worship Team and add or subtract music as is appropriate. In addition, we will learn new music (or re-learn old tunes) together and thereby further diversify our "arsenal" of worship songs for Sunday. If you have any questions about this team, please contact me.

This Friday is the early bird deadline for the CMS conference at Overlake in November. You can find out more information here: http://www.christianmusiciansummit.com/templates/cuscms/details.asp?id=32393&PID=428374

This will be a tremendous opportunity for growth and one you will not want to miss. If you'd like to go please notify me ASAP. Payement for early bird registration will be due no later than rehearsal on Thursday. If 5 or more of us sign up before Friday it will cost $114.00 per person. Click on the "REGISTER" link on the website to see the price chart. I hope many/most of you will be able to make it. I am personally thrilled to see my main man, Doyle Dykes!

See you Thursday! - E.T.
