NewSong Children's Music Ministry provides our children with opportunities to learn the joys of praising God through singing. Our objectives are:

 

• To teach children how to find and develop their singing voice,
• To teach children how to read music,
• To teach hymns and songs of the faith,
• To teach and instill an understanding of worship,
• To participate in worship;
• To teach scripture and Bible stories through song; and
• To enjoy fellowship.

Guided by leaders who love children and music, our children are blessed by the joys of music-making, and they are also a blessing to our congregation.  Our children’s choirs sing in worship in the sanctuary and in the chapel several times a year. They share their music with the larger community as well, singing for the residents of C. C. Young. Together with our wonderful parent volunteers, we provide our young musicians with a rewarding musical experience and spiritual growth through the art of music.  Join us for fun, fellowship and music as we lift our voices in song.

It's a great time to look at our new schedule for NewSong Children's Choirs for Fall 2007!

Our new rehearsal time will work great for our community's busy families!

 

Right after Sunday School, at 10:30 a.m., bring your children in grades K - 5th to room 236 for a snack and fellowship time.  Choir rehearsals will be from 10:45 - 11:45.  Then we'll come back together in room 236 for "Worship LIVE", a special worship service for children.

Perfect for our families - one stop on Sunday mornings for Sunday School and NewSong!
(Parents - this gives you extra time for your own Worship and Sunday School time!)
