January 8, 2012 Voices of Joy Meeting
Praise Team:
Praise team needs to make sure to attend practice on a regular basis
Choir/Praise team will be trying to incorporate more call and response gospel songs at the request of the congregation.It may be helpful to pass out words to the congregation, however the cost is fairly high.
Audio:
Need to make sure that the sound booth is ran by only ONE person and that the mics are not touched during service. Also, if someone is being trained on the mics then training needs to be done on Wednesday night choir practice.
Make sure that the children are not playing on the instruments.
If there is any interest in getting the words to the songs on a projection screen for the congregation then those requests need to be addressed to Dea. McKutchin.
Wednesday nights:
5:30pm practice moved to 5:45pm, but that does not constitute tardiness.
Choir needs to be on one accord (have to be together)
COMMUNICATION is KEY!!
Sunday Morning Worship:
Do not feel the burden of having to pull the congregation into heaven, it is not our responsibility. Continue to have the Holy Spirit in yourself and keep singing no matter if we sound bad or good.
Finances:
$81 was made from most recent fundraising events
$65 was made from the musical
$55.01 is owed to us by Eld McClain
