Ministry Opportunities

AN INVITATION to MUSIC MINISTRY

September 6, 2011

When we gather, our prayer is a communal action that invites and involves us, action that unites and ignites us. We can be Christ for one another when we share of ourselves with our parish community as in our Music Ministry. There are many opportunities available for all members of all ages to be involved:

Adult Choir All Adults (High School Grads & Beyond)
Rehearses Wednesday evenings 7:30-9:00 pm

High School Choir Guys & Girls, Grades 7-12 Choir members and Instrumentalists
Rehearses Wednesdays 6:30-7:45 pm

Youth Choir All Boys & Girls in Grades 3, 4, 5 & 6
Rehearses Wednesdays 5:10-6:10 pm

Instrumentalists Adults (High School Grads & Beyond) who play Trumpet, Trombone, Flute, Violin & Guitar

Involvement in Music Ministry helps to enliven the prayer experience of our community and nurture your personal spiritual life.
See our Parish Music Directors, Allen & Patti Stock, after Mass or contact them at sesmusic@comcast.net.

Which Category are you in – Category 1 or Category 6? Which Category would you like to be in?

Representatives from all the Parish Commissions, ministries, Team Unite and Pastoral Council will be on hand in the Great Hall to explain their ministries and answer questions. Most all of the ministries are looking for additional volunteers and help. Each parishioner should be involved in at least 1 ministry.

The Ministry Fair is a quick and simple way to identify the ministry/commission which can utilize your talents and skills in service to the parish community. Confirmed teens can learn how they can become more involved in parish life by participating in Team Unite – the youth leadership group. Please mark the dates on your calendar & electronic devices and watch the bulletin for additional thoughts and encouragement. There will be refreshments and raffle prizes!
