The question I want It’s your choice to bring music into your life, but that choice can make all the difference in the to ask is: Why music? Why do we love music? world on how you see your day, your life and Why is it such an important part of our Avinity other people. communities? Why is music so important for humankind? Why Music? Because music is life changing! The Bible is filled with music and songs. Over Turn on the radio; come to one of the many and over again the Psalmist writes, Sing a new musical gatherings in our Avinity buildings; Sing a New Song unto the Lord; Sing and make melody song unto the Lord. Paul exhorts believers in with your heart to the Lord! Music can make all several passages, “address one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs; sing and the difference in your life! make melody to the Lord with your heart” (Ephesians 5:19-20). God created us for Written by David Johnston, Avinity Lead Chaplain music: to write music, to perform music, to sing music, to listen to music, and to be transformed by music. Music is God’s idea and part of His creative genius. He invites you to join Him in finding joy and life in music! Music helps us to express the condition of our heart. My daughter, Kristen, is graduating from Augsburg College in Minneapolis this Spring with a major in theater. She particularly loves musical theater and recently played the lead female role of Julie Jordan in Carousel for her last play in college. Kristen says, “Musical Theater is so much fun because through music and words you can say things that would sound silly if not put to music. For instance, the song: “June is bustin’ out all over, all over the meadows and the hills!” It’s ridiculous to say those words! But when set to music this song from the play Carousel is perfectly acceptable”. In a similar way music puts words to our emotions and helps us to express our feelings whether it is joy, sorrow, reverence, anger, love, passion, etc. Music is one of the most important vehicles for emotional expression! 2 Everyone Welcome: Community Chapel Service Tuesdays at 7:00 pm Catholic Service Wednesdays at 10:30 am Bible Study Wednesdays at 1:30 pm Prayer Circle Thursdays at 10:30 am Our Daily Bread, a daily devotional booklet, is available regular or large print on the literature rack in the lobby CALVARY CHURCH FELLOWSHIP LUNCHEON AND PROGRAM SHOPPING TRIP Thursday, May 14th Bus Departs: 11:15 DOLLAR STORE Little Canada Friday, May 1st Bus departs: 2:00 p.m. A great meal for $6.00 *Deadline to sign up: Monday, May 11th HAR MAR MALL** Roseville Lunch & Shopping 1:00—4:00 Friday, May 15th Bus departs: 12:30 p.m. *********************** PRESENTATION: ‘THE CIVIL WAR REMEMBERED: 150 YEAR ANNIVERSARY’ By Pastor Dave Friday, May 22nd Scandia Room SUPER WALMART Vadnais Heights Friday, May 22nd Bus departs: 10:15 a.m. *********************** *********************** QUESTIONS & ANSWERS W/ DR.
