Woo hoo, I got my passport today. That was a lot quicker than I thought. I didn't expect to get it until the 19th.
During worship team practice, we were talking about how we may have to shuffle some people around during the next couple of months, especially during the Philippine mission trip on April. Three members of the band are on the team: one of our singers, our pianist, and myself, the bass player. At least the pianist has a backup person. I need to find a trainee on the bass guitar. We also learned that our main guitarist won't be able to play as much anymore since he's going back to school in a couple of weeks. Our pianist is also going to start his residency rotations for med school later on this year. No worries; the Lord has always provided people in the past. It's so cool, though, that the younger people have recently been stepping up and becoming more involved in the music ministry. Our main drummer is a 15 year old girl. We have a guy who plays the saxophone, and he's also a high school freshman. Another high school freshman girl is the backup pianist/keyboard player. They used to be so shy before, but it's been amazing since God has placed in their hearts the desire to use the gifts and talents He's given them. It sometimes makes me feel old the younger and younger our members get, but I love this ministry!
