Folk - Hope you're all doing well. I'm on my 12th day of being sick...it is no fun. Swine flu? Perhaps. I'd be the first known case in Washington State...does that make me a hero? Here's the layout for this week:

IMPORTANT!: Last week I spoke of a memorial service causing us to have to rehearse late. That service has been moved to Wednesday so we will meet at the normal 6:30 time on Thursday night. See you fellas then! - E.T.

NOTE: Eric will play the "liturgical" songs. Ex: "Song of Praise", "Offertory". If/when a "setting" is adopted for the Celebration service other instruments will be worked in as they are needed/as it is appropriate.

Welcome!

Folk - Here's our brand new blog. As mentioned above, it's designed to communicate information about things happening within the music ministry at PLC and provide a place for people to come and share thoughts, ideas, and theologies about Christian worship and Christian spirituality. The blog won't "launch" until January of '09, but you're welcome to make use of it anyway. I've already posted a story I wrote for your viewing; something to take up some page space. Here's some of the stuff you can expect in January:

- Set Lists for the Celebration Service (Posted Weekly)
- Ensemble Schedule (Who's playing at what service, etc.)
- General Communication to members of the Worship Ministry
- Links to Worship Resources
- Posting of Articles, Stories, and Original Work for your viewing
- Posting of Pictures, Movies, etc.

Please prepare yourself to check this blog often. I will endeavor to keep it updated. So long as it remains an effective tool it will be updated at least once a week when I put up the coming week's music selections. I will no longer send out mass e-mails to everyone on the team about what's coming up, etc. That is, I won't do it for normal and scheduled things like worship on Sunday. This will be the primary point of contact.

I hope you're able to make good use of this resource. I'm excited to share with you through the use of it. Be well - E.T.
