This is a great time of year for a music minister.  I could list off the many things that are being done in music ministry right now, but I want to focus on one thing — Children’s Choir.

Every year at this time we appeal to parents of children from age three to take advantage of the training offered in our Children’s Choirs.  We offer excellent music training for children because it is a wonderful social ministry as well as being a part of good discipleship.

It is important to keep the values of worship in front of the people.  It is very easy to relegate worship to an unnecessary exercise rather than a vital component of discipleship unless we remind ourselves often that God deserves our utmost worship.  It is also tempting to make worship become something that is primarily gratifying to us (a sort of therapy) rather than that which prompts us to realize our true relationship with God.
