Wow! Has the time ever flown by. Yesterday began my last module in the New Life School of Worship and it appears to be shaping up to be a great one. On Mondays and Wednesdays I’ll have a very practical Applied Music Theory class where it takes the “head” knowledge of theory and puts it into practice on an instrument, writing band charts as well as charting out vocal harmony parts, and then the Worship Practicum class. This class covers the details of choosing your setlist; what factors you should consider when choosing songs and then towards the end we’ll have to choose a music set (song list) and a band, rehearse and then lead worship for a group of people who will be critiquing and grading us. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my Systematic Theology class and Songwriting class taught by Jared Anderson. I’m thinking that the theology class would be better named the Reading Theology class. The class syllabus indicated we’ll be reading about 750 pages. Ugh. Songwriting… I’m really excited about this one. Out of all the classes I’ve taken here, when it comes to writing songs, I feel mostly like a three legged fish but it is definetly an area that I want to develop. Well that’s all for now. Pray for us if we cross your mind. We’ll be house hunting AGAIN in about 6 weeks and moving back to Celina in 10 weeks. It will be here before we know it.
Peace
