<p> Notes & Quotes April 1, 2015</p><p>Happy April Fools! No, really, that’s not a joke. So, full disclosure: two weeks ago, I had a lot of people raving about the choir’s rendition of Psalm III, and I would say ‘thanks very much’, and I meant it, but there was a little part of me that wanted to say ‘if you liked that, then wait ‘till next week’…And of course, you delivered a very powerful presentation of the Martin, and there were more positive comments. Thank you for making that special! (and again, ‘if you liked that, then you’ll probably like what we have this week…’) I am very excited for my first Easter here at Central. There’s a great energy in the air as so many are contributing some of those little touches that all add up beautifully. There’s a lot of detail to the announcements this week, but as we proceed through the work of ministry, let’s keep reminding ourselves of the privilege to serve Jesus by sharing talents to tell His story. We share our time, talent, and enjoyment, and ultimately, lives are changed. Wow.</p><p>For Your Information: - Being on time for all our event is very important this week. - Your Music: We will use the black 3-ring binders for Thursay/Easter Sunday. o If you left your music here, it will be in order already. o If you took your music home, you are responsible for putting it in order BEFORE we start rehearsal at 6:30.
