Seasons Change--Join us in the Song--Become part of Worship!

ACOLYTES NEEDED… Serve with your family?
We’re looking for more folks to serve as acolytes for worship on Sundays. How about teaming up with members of your family and make serving as acolyte a family activity? At GA, our acolytes light the candles at the beginning of worship, assist with the distribution of communion, and extinguish the candles at the end of each service. If you’d like to volunteer to serve, please contact Phil Holzman or Diane Ott-Hager.

If you have questions about how you can become part of our worship and music ministry at GA Church, contact Phil Holzman by e-mail or by phone at the church office. (pholzman@gachurchmpls.org or 612-789-7256)

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC -
We have quite a few folks who enjoy playing their instruments in worship. Watch for information about occasional, short-term GA Orchestra opportunities. Instrumentalists are often recruited to accompany choir anthems.

Join choir for a season? If you enjoy singing but aren't ready to make the commitment to be part of choir for the whole year, think about joining one of our groups in November (for Advent and Christmas). Feel free to contact Phil Holzman with any questions you have about our choirs.
