YOUTH HORIZONS
Ensembles emphasize new and creative vistas in worship thought God's
gift of music. These ensembles of Middle and High School students
rehearse on Sunday evenings:
- Clarion Instumental Ensemble
- Genesis Singers
- Youth Handbells
Guitar, piano, flute, violin, voice, and virtually all solo
instruments are programmed throughout the church year and are a source
of inspiration to members of our congregation. Youth musicians are
encouraged to share their gifts through worship and service.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
At all times, whether in practice or performance, one must keep in
mind this basic principle: If a ministry for the Lord is worthy of our
service, it is also worthy of our best effort and effective use of our
God-given talent. To that end may our lives be dedicated and ministries
blessed, that He alone might receive the honor and glory.
 ...whatsoever
ye do, do all to the glory of God.
1 Corinthians 10:31
