Worship Team
One of the most enjoyable aspects of our ministry is the privilege I have of participating with our church praise team. We started out as just an informal group of instrumentalists who basically improvised to accompany the services. Thanks to the dedication of the participants and the leadership of Erivan, our new associate pastor--the group is starting to "tighten up" and invest time and effort in leading well-thought-out worship times. Here are some pictures from today's practice.
Pastor Erivan (in the red shirt) gives orientation. I took the picture, so I put the trumpet in the middle to represent my presence.
Isaias lays down a rhythm.
Edivan tickles the ivories. He also doubles on the clarinet...but has not yet figured out a way to do both at once.
Andrew blows his own horn.
Marleide croons the melody.
We make sweet, sweet music together. There are actually more musicians. Some were unable to make it today because they also participate in the leadership of the local youth fellowship. I am really excited about tonight's service. Hopefully the "audience of One" will be pleased.

I have had that since shortly after we arrived. Gives me a more "distinguished", "college professor" type look. The clincher is that Itacyara loves it.

Hey, Andrew...
For some reason I am no longer receiving your prayer letter and/or emails. Perhaps I neglected to inform you of recent changes. The church has a web site www.calvarybaptistpreble.com and my e-mail address there is pastor@calvarybaptistpreble.com. I sure would like to have something printable to post on our missions board. By the way the facial hair does make you look very distinct!
We have recently applied to Baptist Missionary Builders to be considered for our new building. Sometime in 2011 or 2012.
We lost another family this past August but it was the kind of loss one can praise the Lord. They moved to Auburn, MA due to employment transfer and are not actively involve in a Baptist Church Planters work there with Roy and Karen Kinney.
Please remember to put this new email address in your address book and delete all others.
God's favor continued to be enjoyed. Pastor Brown
