New Music Ministry! LOUMC COMMUNITY BAND
Can you find yourself in the picture below? Many of our high school and adult members either play a band instrument in a band OR have played in a band. We want you to be a part of the new LOUMC community band! What do you have to do? Email David Easley [email protected] and let him know what instrument you play. This is not a band that will play every Sunday; however, we will rehearse on a regular schedule and play in the services occasionally. There are terrific arrangements of traditional hymns, gospel, praise and worship, etc. This is a great opportunity to participate in another area of music ministry. Dust off that trumpet, and buy a reed for that clarinet….better yet, just bring your horn and we will dust if off and buy you a reed!
“I will praise the name of God with a song,
And will magnify Him with thanksgiving.”
Psalm 69:30
Sing”cerely, Melanie
