Tti n1ai n purpo e i to lend a hand to the hoir Director to free him from tim, con un1 ing chore , uch a orting and filing music, and to help the ho Member keep their mu ic a organized as poss ible. For each Ser, 1 ice the mu ic is prepared ahead of time. We try to have copy of each piece for each individual member, so he may mark it ( in pencil if he wi hes to be familiar with it each time it is u ed . After the Service, the, thi music mu t be separated and filed away. A list of music performed is ke1 for future reference. Our music i filed alphabetically, as much as possible. An inventory is kept– one list of Sheet Music on hand, and another of the contents of Books that ai most frequently used. These lists must be brought up to date periodically - once a year, if possible. When new music is acqui red, it is numbered and stampt with the Church's name. Each Choir Member has a folder which contains the music that is current being practiced. One of our Members made us an excellent rack where the folders can be kept in numerical order each Member having the same numb as his Choir Robe. Music of the Director's choice is added to these folde before rehearsal night. At time of performance, the Librarian should be on hand early. The are often errands to be run or messages to be delivered, as well as music to l distributed. The Choir Robes also come under the care of the Librarian - assignir them to the individual Members and seeing that they are cleaned when necessar REMEMBER TO PRAY for the CAN OF COINS PROJECT BANGUI CHRISl'IAN HIGH SCHOOL Central African Republic BAPTIST MID-MISSIONS 4205 Che~er Avenue Cleveland, Ohio - 44103 New Pastor At Salem The Calvary Baptist Church of Salem, Ohio now has as its pastor Rev.
