Dear Choir Members,

Since my arrival at Church of the Good Shepherd, two things have struck me:
1) this church has a incredibly strong choir (when everyone shows up!)
2) the congregation is struggling, both in terms of attendance and participation

My ministry at Church of the Good Shepherd has been to use the strength of the 

choir as the foundation in which to enliven the worship of the congregation.  So far, 

the results have been quite striking.  For example, the chanting of psalms and taize 

chants during communion have been met with much enthusiasm.  Indeed, I have 

received numerous positive comments from parish members each and every week 
during coffee hour!

Because of your important ministry as leaders of music in worship, a fire is beginning to kindle within the congregation.  This is exactly what the Church of the Good Shepherd needs in order to strengthen itself, both spiritually and, quite frankly, financially.  A kindling fire, when nurtured, will soon begin to roar; when neglected, however, 
it will die.  Enough said?

To those of you who faithfully attend rehearsals and services.  Thank 
you!  To those of you who have been missing several rehearsals, I hope the 
above will inspire you to more faithful attendance.
To those of you who habitually miss rehearsals and services, we need 
you back!
