The Music Ministry at Christ The Lord is doing wonderful things and you are always invited to join us. Here’s what’s going on:
Rerun Sundays
That's right! The choirs will be doing two "Rerun Sundays" this summer, bringing back a couple of your favorite anthems from past years. Look for performances on Sunday, July 18, and Sunday, August 15. Reminders will be posted on the Music Ministry bulletin board in the narthex. Don't miss Rerun Sundays this summer! Oh, and keep giving us your favorite hymns throughout July and August. You can write them down on your attendance sheet at church on Sunday or e-mail them to laurabryant@christthelordlutheran.org and we'll do them for you on Sunday mornings. See you Sunday!

Music Ministry Rehearsal Schedule:
MONDAY
6:30 Recorder
Choir: This is a great way for the entire family to do something musical
together!
TUESDAY
7:00 Handbell
Choir: Our own Grace Notes prepare wonderful music for worship. With the
addition of a new octave, we now have more spaces available in this
choir.
WEDNESDAY
5:30 Children’s Choir: this group meets just prior to Friends of Faith. We have a great time singing fun songs.
5:30 Liturgical Dance: Our Aurora Glory Dancers and Imagination Dancers use this time to put together great selections, all to the Glory of God. Come and see what it’s all about.
6:30 School of Rock: This is not just for the “church band,” but for anyone interested in working on their “chops”. Even if you haven’t played for a long time, it’s never too late – come jam with us!
7:00 Contemporary Choir: Don’t worry – if you can’t read music, its okay. We have loads of fun learning contemporary Christian music to sing on Sunday mornings. It’s all about having a great time, and everyone is welcome to join this choir. Plus you get a cool shirt, your own personalized Morning Star book, and a reserved seat. What more could you ask for?
8:00 Traditional
Choir: This choir performs at the 11:00 service. We focus on beautiful
traditional selections, but could use many more members. Again, cool shirt,
personalized book, and reserved seat. Give it a try!
SUNDAY
11:00 Children’s Chime Choir: It’s a great experience for kids to learn about music in a fun environment. Oh, and parents – just as a side note: Music is all about MATH – you might just see better math grades if your children are involved in music.
11:00 CTL Rhythm Section: This handbell choir is a great place for chimers to move up to handbells, and for adult handbell players to sharpen their skills. It’s a very fun group!
11:00: Imagination Dancers Children's Dance Team
Additionally, twice a year we have our Men's Choir, who rehearse two or three times (usually on Wednesday evenings) prior to singing on a Sunday. Also, feel free to join a choir for a particular season, like our Christmas Choir, which performs on Christmas Eve, or join the choir to sing on Easter Sunday or for any of our special programs.
Don't forget to get involved with the annual musical! Rehearsal starts in February. This year we will need lots of cast members and musicians!
I think that covers most of what we have going on. Check out the calendar on the Music Ministry bulletin board in the narthex for exact rehearsal times and dates, or feel free to contact me at laurabryant@christthelordlutheran.org or ring me up at the church office (770 963-4499) for more information.
There is a place for everyone. Join us!

The gift of music
I wish to see all arts,
principally music, in the service of Him who gave and created them.
Music is a fair and glorious gift from God. I would not forego my humble share
of music. Singers are never sorrowful, but are merry, and they smile through
their troubles in song.
Music makes people kinder, gentler, more staid and reasonable. I am persuaded
that after theology, music is the only art capable of affording peace and joy of
heart … the devil flees before the sound of music almost as much as before the
Word of God.
—Martin Luther
