Kick-Off for Praise Band Project (2.23)
We are excited to announce that we have had a few youths sign up for the praise band project! So, we will be holding a kick-off event on Sunday 2/23/2025 at 1600. This event is open to all that would like to learn more about the program; participants, potential participants, parents, and anyone else looking to contribute to or promote our efforts. For the youth who would like to participate, we will be holding our first rehearsal/discussions after the kick-off presentation so please plan on staying until the start of youth group at 6:00. Please keep spreading the word about our project. We need more than just musicians and singers! If you are a youth or know a youth that is an artist, poet, dancer, or someone who would want to learn how to run sound and lights, please come down and see how you could be involved. If there are any questions, please contact Chris Mosely at the church.
We are Starting a Youth Praise Band and Music Education Project!
We are happy to announce a new outreach project geared to attract more youth to our youth programs. We are starting a youth praise band and music education project (middle school and high school age). The idea is to provide an avenue for youth to participate here at St Andrew in a fun way that will allow them to learn an instrument/vocal ability or further develop their musical talents with the instruments and/or vocal abilities they are already learning. We need your help to get this off the ground. We need youth!
This is the outreach part. We have some youth who regularly attend here at St Andrew’s that sing or play an instrument, but not enough to form a band. So….if you have children interested in learning or are currently learning an instrument, please let them know we are starting this project. If you or your children or your grandchildren have friends, cousins, classmates, online friends, etc. that might be interested, please have them reach out to us.
Music lessons will be taught at 4:00 PM on Sundays, and band practice at 5:00 PM at the church in the legacy hall. Of course, the Youth Group starts at 6:00, so the youth who participate in the music program are invited to stay and participate in the Youth Group also. It will also make it easier for parents to drop them off at 4:00 and pick them back up at 8:00 after youth group. Please contact me, Chris Mosley, if you have interested youth or any questions regarding the program.
