Hey everyone,
Prayer:
Dear Directors and Coordinators,
We are facing an unusual situation this year regarding CYIA in that we still do not have a Praise/Worship leader for training camp. Would you please be in prayer about this, as well as get the word out to your respective prayer groups?
The Praise/Worship leader would not need their own musicians or even gear. John Higginbotham (Lake of the Woods Church) would be providing the gear and musicians. The Praise/Worship leader would be responsible for song selection, powerpoint slides for songs, leading the practice times (5:30-6:15, Mon. – Thurs.), and leading the praise and worship time each evening (Sun. – Thurs., roughly 30 minutes, or around 5 to 6 songs per session).
In God’s grip,
Ray Seto
Director of CYIA Training School
