Hey SCC Bloggers!!! - We are down to our last week of summer and Labor Day is just around the corner, and you know what that means...School starts up again and so does Traditions & Worship Choir rehearsals...And speaking of that, I have a great announcement to make...Jerry Rouse (our resident Bass singer and all around great guy) has stepped up to the plate and decided to accept the responsibility of overseeing the Traditions Choir!!!

Jerry started directing choirs back in 1962 while in college and graduated in 1964 with a sacred music and Christian Ed degree from Anderson University. That same year he was married to his wife Lois and they moved to Long Beach to be a Minister of Music. After gaining his Teacher Credential from Cal State Long Beach Jerry went on to teach vocal music and various subjects for Jr High then High School in Westminster, Mission Viejo and El Toro from 1970-2002. all tolled he worked as a Teacher and part time choir director at seven different churches and four different schools over a 44 year span of time. 

Thanks Jerry for jumping in and leading once again, we are blessed to have you!!!

One final note...This week Pastor Bob will be teaching James Chapter 5:13-15. And it says in verse 13 - ...Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise...!!! - Even in the midst of hard times we have a lot to be happy about. God's provision, His never ending love for us, His Word that guides us daily, Prayer, Music, God's incredible creation (even when it's muggy out!!!), and most of all our salvation through Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior...So let's sing a song of praise together and Worship the Lord for He is good and His mercy endures forever!!!
