CROSS
PURPOSE & HOLY GROUNDS |
 CROSS
PURPOSE is a youth music ministry of Good Shepherd. The group leads music
at Sunday school theme celebrations, the quarterly Holy Grounds Christian coffee
house, and several Sundays a year at Cross Walk (our contemporary worship service).
Cross Purpose also travels to other congregations and Christian venues to share
its message of Christian faith through music.
The group has led "trek"
discussions at Youth Encounter middle school retreats to help others explore how
they can share their faith through contemporary Christian music. Cross Purpose
has even recorded and sold CDs of performances, as well as band t-shirts!
The original band formed in 2005 when a group of our young people got together
to provide the music for Good Shepherd's Youth Weekend worship. That experience
proved so positive the group stayed together and evolved. If you are a youth who
would like to share your playing or singing talents with Cross Purpose, please
contact adult leader Jeff Herget.
AUDITIONS FOR NEW BAND MEMBERS
Attention
middle and high school singers and guitar players! If you can sing or play guitar
and are interested in becoming a member of an active working Christian praise
band, Cross Purpose might be for you! Auditions for singers and guitar players
will soon begin for the fall. Being a member of Cross Purpose is a lot of fun,
and counts toward community service on your academic record. It does require an
audition as well as being able to commit to regular rehearsals and an active playing
schedule. If you are interested in being part of our youth music ministry, please
contact Jeff Herget by Friday, Jan. 15. Call the church office for contact information.
