Rock af Ages

Thank you Vince and Pam and Lynn for leading us so well in Rock Of Ages. I love that old hymn and the choir arrangement was a blessing. We have so many people that sing so well at Porter. It is amazing to see what God is doing at Porter and using these musicians for His glory. Thank you trio and many others for being so faithful.

Karen Baird did a marvelous job singing the lead worship part to Before the Throne of God Above. Thank you Karen for communicating our hearts as you sang to the Lord.

PMBC Music Prayer Concerns

Please post prayer concerns and answers to prayer for all your Porter Music Friends to see.

Christmas 2008 announcements

Please attend the rehearsal tonight. It goes from 6:30 to 8:30. Thursday November 13 in the choir room. Susan will be working with the Ladies during the first part and I will work with the men.
I am excited about Christmas. I think most of my excitement comes from not believing how close Christmas is and how much music we have to learn in a short time. What a blessing that we have so many excellent musicians to prepare. Start praying now for the Christmas music plans and preparations during the next several weeks. The children and the students and the adults all are doing their own presentations on the first three weeks of December.

Please add these dates to your calendars.

December 7 the children present The Christmas County Spelling Bee
December 14 the students take a young look at Christmas worship
December 21 the adults present the Carols of Christmas.
December 24 the famous annual Christmas Eve Candlelight Communion.
This is new for me so everybody have patience.

I was so proud of the choir and orchestra as they sang at the KBC. The Pastor did an awesome job not only singing but as he directed the whole convention. He presented an excellent witness for the Lord and everything was conducted in an excellent manner.
Many thanks to all who participated. All Choir and orchestra members that participated deserve blessings from the Lord. I know the scehdeules are hard to work out and I am grateful that so many made this a priority and took off from work to participate in the KBC. In the coming days I hope to post some pictures from the event. Thanks to Bob Dematina and Ken Goad for taking pictures during the KBC event.
