Middle School Mission Choir (By Rick McCollum)
I had directed youth choirs for nearly 35 years when my wonderful youth choir fizzled out. It took all I had to let it die a natural death. This year, we began to dream a new dream, first for our middle schoolers. We started a Middle School Mission Choir this spring. The idea was to work on music that could be used in worship but also as a witness to others, combine that music emphasis with mission and ministry opportunities. Our first outing was this past Sunday when we took 13 middle schoolers, a guitarist a pianist plus adults and sang for kids in a trailor park. We connected with a ministry called Inside Out Of South Carolina. I think we’re going to keep this going for a while. Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity of music missions literally in our own backyard.
