YOUTH NEWS MUSIC MINISTRYDear Friends, The anthem this week is taken from that most famous of Psalms, Psalm 23. We can likely all recite it by heart. How much more profound, then, for a composer to attempt to write music that reflects the mood and spirit of this famous scripture. Just like when each of us reads it out loud, putting nuance and emphasis in different places, every composer who has set these words to music gives them a different interpretation. I like to think of it as a personalization. If each of us were asked what this scripture meant to us, how would we respond? Alan Pote gives us his response through music. May it be a blessing to all who hear. Please consider this your personal invitation to join the Music Ministry in 2016! There are vocal and instrumental “connect groups” for all ages and levels of experience. Please call me at the church, ext. 120, or e-mail me at mboensel@pmumc.net for any questions you have about where you can find a place to make music in God’s service.

Peace,

Marc

Spring is in full bloom, and it’s picnic weather!!! Some of Porterfield’s greatest moments are when the families of the church join

together as one and celebrate God’s creation with one another! Chehaw is a beautiful example of that, and it offers the perfect location for our families to fellowship.

Bring your bikes and helmets, your lawn chairs, and a dessert and enjoy an afternoon of fun! Caren and I will have different games for the whole family to enjoy. This afternoon is for all families of all ages. We will end our time together with grilled hamburgers and hotdogs. The church is covering admission to Chehaw, but please use your annual pass if you have one. Please contact Jane in the front office (jbragg@pmumc.net or 436-6336, ext. 112) and let us know how many will be joining us. See you there!
