Throughout the history of the Christian community, choirs
have often been used to aid the people of God in worship.
Will you consider being a part of the 2016 Conference Choir
at the Conference session in Houghton, NY?
Each evening, Sunday through Thursday, and on Sabbath
morning, the 2016 Conference Choir will sit on the platform
at Houghton College, Wesley Chapel for the beginning of
Worship and then join the congregation just before the
message. On Sabbath Eve (Friday evening at 7:00 pm)
the Choir will present a Cantata,
Testament of Praise: A
Celebration of Faith
. The anthem each evening and
Sabbath Morning Worship will be taken from this work.
Joseph Martin was commissioned to compose this work. This
commissioned work was inspired by the words of Charles
Wesley in celebration of the hymn writer's 300th birthday in
2007. Fresh and unique arrangements of timeless hymns are
coupled with a set of narrations, litanies and suggested con-
gregational songs to maximize the presentation. Celebrate
the work of one of the most influential lyricists of all time
with this special collection! The work includes:
O, For a
Thousand Tongues; Love Divine, All Love's Excelling; Thanks
for Our Every Blessing; Jesus, Lover of My Soul
and more!
The 2016 Conference Choir is under the direction of Linda
Lawton and accompanied by Charlotte Chroniger. The 2016
Conference Choir rehearsals are tentatively scheduled at
4:00 pm Sunday through Thursday and for about 1.5 hours
on Friday afternoon.
Because this cantata performance is an outreach opportunity
where musicians from the community will be invited to join
in ministering and it will be heavily advertised, we need to
be the most prepared Conference Choir as we get to the
2016 Conference Session. Would you do the following:
1. Purchase as an individual or a local choir,
Testament of
Praise: a Celebration of Faith
. The cost is $8.95 per copy.
2. Practice the work and maybe even perform it.
3. Know it to the point the music is second nature.
4. Pray through the music.
5. Pray that the Holy Spirit will use this to bring persons to
the Faith.
