Music Ministry05.10.2010
Our calling and purpose is to worship God in Spirit and in truth and to lead others into God’s presence through worship. In the process of doing this, you will meet many new friends and form lasting and meaningful relationships. As part of the Music Ministry you will also have many opportunities of service and ministry other than our Sunday morning worship experiences. And you will have the joy of leading worship, encouraging and influencing people in worship beyond the walls of this church. Please know that what we are about is WORSHIP, not performance. We are called to be worshipers - not to do worship. ARBC Adult Worship Choir ARBC Praise Band ARBC Orchestra Posted by arbc at 03:58 PM | Comments (0)

It’s hard to believe that summer is over and fall (early winter for those that live in Colorado) is here! This is my favorite time of year because of the beauty of God’s creation. It is also my favorite time of year because of the upcoming three months of worship services. There is still time to join Adult Choir or the ARBC Orchestra and participate in these upcoming services. If you can match pitch, consider joining the choir. If you can play an instrument, consider joining the orchestra. You can be a leader in worship! Posted by arbc at 05:07 PM | Comments (0)

May 200903.30.2009
WHAT IS AN “OLD SONG”? We should realize that, as each generation ages, fewer of their songs will be recognized. In the future, only a few of the very best examples of all styles will remain. Those that will stand the test of time will be the ones that are not just the most representative of a generation’s musical style but, more importantly, those that are based on profound Biblical truth. Thus, I believe that in 200 years, Christians will still be singing Martin Luther’s A Mighty Fortress is Our God (1500’s), Fanny Crosby’s To God Be the Glory (1800’s) and Terry York’s Worthy of Worship (1980’s). The vast majority of the future’s praise and worship music HAS YET TO BE WRITTEN by those not yet born. I believe that thrills God. It does me! -Mark

April 200903.30.2009
WHAT IS AN “OLD SONG”? Last month I pointed out that few hymns and songs have stood the test of time. Even the beloved Fannie Crosby has fewer hymns in the newest edition of The Baptist Hymnal than in the previous one. Because of my age and life circumstances, I know a lot of Christian music and truly love most of it. However, each year it becomes more difficult to plan a “blended” worship service for Arapahoe Road Baptist Church. Many times I will include an “old” hymn in our morning worship service only to find out that many people age 55 and younger do not know it. Some people have come from non-Southern Baptist backgrounds, and others are new Christians. Some people come from a contemporary church music background and have never sung the “old” hymns. To some of our members, the “old” songs are the hymns they grew up with in the 1920s and 30s. To other members, the “old” songs are hymns such as #243, “Sweet, Sweet Spirit,” written in the early 1960s, and #12, “Great is the Lord,” written in the early 80s. Still, to other members, the “old” songs are the ones that we learned just 12 months ago! Click here for Part 1 of 3 - "DO I KNOW WHAT AN “OLD SONG” IS? NEXT MONTH: Mark Posted by arbc at 07:42 AM | Comments (0)
March 200903.24.2009
WHAT IS AN “OLD SONG”? I. AT MY AGE (almost 56), DO I KNOW WHAT AN “OLD SONG” IS? My dad was a Southern Baptist pastor. From the late 1950s, I had the hymnal memorized from cover to cover. During the 1960s, a visiting youth choir from Texas shocked our church in Rapid City with a musical—“Good News”. For one year, in the late 1960s, I was a member of ARBC and remember Katy Vogel directing me in the youth choir (Katy: remember “Sunday’s Child”?). There were no Christian radio stations at that time, but a local Denver station began broadcasting “contemporary” Christian music late on Saturday nights and early Sunday mornings. Does anybody remember “Here Comes Jesus”? During the early 1970s, I majored in piano at Oklahoma Baptist University and was exposed to much classical music. Since the mid-1970s, I have been on staff and actively involved in the music ministry of Southern Baptist churches. So now, allow me to express an opinion. Over the centuries and decades a few “new” songs have stood the test of time, but most have not. I read where the great gospel hymn writer, Fanny Crosby, in the late 1800s authored between 8,000 and 9,000 gospel hymn texts. Yet only 17 are in our current hymnal. Fifteen are in the newest edition. My guess is there will be fewer still in the next hymnal. But don’t lose heart! NEXT MONTH: Part 2 of 3 What is My Point? Posted by arbc at 08:54 AM | Comments (0)

BEHIND THE SCENES04.14.2005
Every Sunday we have marvelous help “behind the scenes” of our worship services. These men and women spend hours with the musicians in rehearsal both on Wednesday nights and early Sunday mornings. Their expertise and alertness can be a blessing. The lack of it can be a real distraction to worship. Fortunately, we have qualified people who also have sweet cooperative spirits! Thank you Fred Starks for heading up this special team of people that include Fred, Mike Beatty, Marvin Hutton, and Wil Powell. This month we welcome Kim Corzine, Nick Martens and Craig Howell to this team. This team is kind of like “faith”-the “evidence of things not seen”. Thank you for your commitment and good work.

Worship & Music09.30.2003
What a joy it has been to serve as your interim worship and music minister during the summer months. As in all churches, the "here and gone" summer tendency prevailed here as well. However, God still richly blessed and we had some glorious worship services!!! As we enter these fall, winter, and holiday months let me encourage you to join us. The Church Family at worship is always the most important "choir" and will always be the featured "performers" (for God). However, if you are an adult and can match pitch let me encourage you to join us for Adult Choir on Wednesdays at 7:15. We will begin holiday music soon. The Children are working on a musical "The Great Kingdom Caper" on Sundays at 5:30 for drama and 6:30 for the music. A presentation will be scheduled for later October. Regular children's choirs will begin in November. For now, the Youth Musicians are meeting on an individual and small group basis with me and will be utilized in worship beginning in October. Small groups of Instrumentalists will be practicing on a scheduled basis and blessing us in worship during these exciting upcoming months. Thank you for your encouragement and continued prayer support! Mark Posted by at 04:50 AM | Comments (0)
