How to Lead a Church Choir (Continued from last week)
* Actively recruit singers: Advertise in the church bulletin or newsletter. Contact church members personally and get the word out that you want singers. Ask prospects in a direct way, saying, “We need some good singers with a great heart, some spare time and the willingness to learn music for our church choir.”
* Acquire appropriate music: Find easy-to-learn material that fits your church theology and the talent level of your singers. Try to perform music, which is uplifting, and entertaining for the choir and congregation. A happy choir is a growing choir.

I was just wondering:
Why are you “IN” a movie, but you're “ON” TV?
Why do we put suits in a garment bag and garments in a suitcase?
If “Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares,” why is there a stupid song about him?
Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.
Why is it that people say they “slept like a baby” when babies wake up like every two hours?
Why do toasters have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no one would eat?
Why go to the top of a skyscraper, and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
