MUSIC
The
J.O.Y. (Just Older Youth) Choir of Meadow
Grove Baptist Church has been in existence since mid 2007. The
main focus
of the J.O.Y. Choir is to share the gospel in song and to be ministers
of
encouragement. Our target audience is primarily people in nursing
and
retirement facilities. However, we sing in other venues as well.
The Lord has truly blessed the people in the audience as they see the
choir
worship and sing praises to God. The Activities Director of one
facility
recently stated that we were their favorite group. I believe that
to be
true not only because of the quality of music presented, but also due
to the
care of those presenting it. This is a "hands on" group.
J.O.Y. Choir members are truly sensitive to those in the audience
before,
during, and after each concert.
The people involved in the J.O.Y. Choir are very dedicated...first and
foremost
to God, but they are also dedicated to the mission of the choir and to
each
other. Attendance in rehearsals and for concerts is very
consistent. Choir members have stated that they have enjoyed
getting to
know fellow church members and have made new friends through choir
involvement,
that they have grown in their commitment to be missions minded, and
that they
have been fulfilled by having an outlet to "make a joyful noise" to
the Lord.
For all these benefits and many more blessings from the Lord we truly
enjoy
being together. You are invited to add strength and clarity to
the
proclamation of the Gospel Message and become part of this fellowship
of the Meadow Grove Baptist Church "J.O.Y."
Choir. Directing this great
choir is something I look forward to each week.
