Well, tonight is my first night playing the piano for the Worship Team at my church. This night has been approaching for several weeks and I have had very mixed feelings about it. It's one of those situations where everyone else has much more confidence in me then I do. I have posted about this here in my blog before, but tonight is "the" night. And next Sunday will be "the" first Sunday.
We said goodbye last week to our wonderful friends Karen and Wayne and their family. Not goodbye as in moving far away, but in that they are going to be serving at another church in our area in the ministry. Thus, they left Brushwood and have officially become members of the Wolcott Methodist Church. This is why I will now be playing the piano for the Worship Team. Me and my rusty fingers.
I have a tote bag with my music in it that I have been making for myself over the past few weeks. This so I can work on different pieces here at home. I'm sure what I have here is only a small fraction of the music the team has accumulated over the years. Today I sat down and organized it somewhat in several folders. Here are my folders:
-Pieces we are doing in the upcoming two Sundays.
-Pieces I have pretty much learned and can play fairly well.
-Pieces I'm working on, but have along way to go.
-Pieces I haven't even touched.
And that is how these folders are labeled!!!! Kind of goofy, but works for me. I'm sure it will get easier as the weeks progress, but I won't deny I will probably be broke out in hives over the next several Sundays. Guess higher neck tops are in order for me to cover the splotches!!!!

I'm sure you will do just fine. It's nice you are willing and talented to fill the spot. Looking forward to listening to you play.
How did the first big night go? It WILL get easier, I promise! :)
It went good. But, there were no drums as Donny was not there. Next week we are practicing right before the gathering as I have to work at the vet clinic all evening. That will probably be my first practice with drums.
Thanks Susan for the kind post! And thanks Karen for all your help.
That is work at the vet clinic all evening Tuesday.
