Who should Attend? Anyone involved in worship ministry.  In our changing culutre the Church needs to ask questions about how we can be the Church in the Digital Age.

Participants will have access to a variety of seminars, workshops and worship experiences. Important issues relating to creativity, diversity, and quality will be discussed, outlining a biblical framework for understanding how we can be the Church in the digital age. Presenters will also share techniques and strategies that can be used to improve the use of all the arts as you worship in your local church.

After the sad death of Dr. Raleigh Bastine we had to do some searching to find another choir director, preferably one who could play as well as direct. After auditioning, and with input from choir as well as the church music committee, Nancy was the choice.

Nancy is currently the organist, musical arranger and orchestrator for the Bel Air Presbyterian Church in Beverly Hills. She lives in Granada Hills, and makes the weekly trip to Lancaster to practice with us on Friday night at 7:00. The choir continues to sing on the 2nd and 4th Sabbaths of each month.

The choir is learning new music and various vocal styles.

If you want to be invigorated after a busy week, come to choir practice on Friday nights at 7:00 PM! Your tiredness will evaporate, and you will be glad you did. Tenor and bass voices are especially needed.

Happy New Year!!! 2012 is upon us. But didn’t 2011 go quickly! What will you remember 2011 for? 2011 was the year:

•  That the Japanese government ordered the evacuation of residents near the Fukushima Nuclear Plant after the 2011 earthquake badly damaged several nuclear reactors.

• That the iPad 2 took the world by storm when 500,000 units were sold on their debut weekend. The iPad 2 sold out across virtually all channels in its first week.

• Steve Jobs who had inspired millions of people around the world with his passion and creativity died. The technological visionary revolutionized the way people live and work with the aid of Mac computers, iPods, iPhones, and iPads.

• William, Prince of Wales married Kate Middleton and was watched by over 2 Billion people.

• US troops pulled out of Iraq after 8 years of sacrifice and nation building.

It has also been the year Lancaster Adventist Church:

• Served the poor and needy in our community by giving away hundreds of man hours and resources in help.

• Said goodbye to longstanding church family members until the resurrection.

• Made the decision to be more family friendly by voting to establish a nursery (ages 1-4) during our 2nd service for parents with young children and to appoint a children’s ministry director to further develop our ministry to the children and families of our church.

• Grew in weekly Sabbath attendance by approximately 25%.

•  Saw it’s pastors get repeatedly dunked by church members in a dunk tank.

• Finished the year financially strong well within budget (2010 we were in deficit).

• Saw tithe go up by 25.1% (as of Oct. 2011).

• Has been blessed beyond words by a Faithful Gracious God.

How is 2012 going to be for us? This being the season for making New Year’s resolutions, I thought we might be inspired in our own commitments by a few of the 70 resolutions made by a young man when he was about 20. His powerful resolves helped shape not only his own destiny, but also that of a nation.

• Resolved, that I will do whatsoever I think to be most to God’s glory, and my own good, profit and pleasure…

• Resolved, to live with all my might while I do live.

• Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life.

• Resolved, always to do that, which I shall wish I had done when I see others do it.

• Let there be something of benevolence in all that I speak.

These resolutions were written by Jonathan Edwards (1703 – 1758) who entered Yale University just shy of his 13th birthday and graduated at 17. One of the leading intellectual figures in Colonial America, his sermons in the 1730’s and 1740’s led to a series of revival movements later known as the Great Awaking.

May 2012 be a year of blessing for you and our church family.
