The difference I see The Firebird Singers making is most evident in how the children involved experience church on Sunday mornings. They have an important and appreciated place in the leadership of worship. They are regular kids with all their regular childhood issues, challenged and gifted by God to display the best of themselves. They are transformed through this challenge and touch the lives of many through the unique musical ministry of children s voices. Participation in The Firebird Singers involves a commitment from the family to support and encourage their child.
Attendance is rewarded and timeliness is very important.
Many of the events of The Firebird Singers depend on help from a core of parent volunteers. We also regularly request some help in providing a snack or helping the children into their choir robes. While parental volunteers are needed and appreciated, it is not a requirement for children s participation. The greatest need of The Firebird Singers is the enthusiasm of the church for supporting such a program. Anyone who wishes to get involved or to learn more about the group can call me, Lisa Allen at the office or watch The First Press for the announcement of our first meeting in late August.
