Save the date and bring a friend! The Wholeness Service kicks off the year with a gathering and social on August 27, 2023. Starting at 4:00 pm, music directors welcome the public to 5404 Williams Drive, Georgetown TX, where we will review our songs for the season.
Snacks are back, let us know if you are coming?
We’re also bringing back the potluck snacks. Brace yourself for a bounty, our worship team doesn’t know how to skimp. We will serve some treats in the east wing of the sanctuary and provide a plenty of coffee and ice water. Water break provided in the middle of the session, then stick around afterward to socialize. Also important: It helps us if we know how much food to bring. If you’ll be there, would you please let us know? Click here to opt in.
Thinking of joining the music team?
The music team always has a place for you. All you need is the willingness to sing or play an instrument. If that sounds like you, come on out and discover how we can involve you. You can also email inviteme@wholeness-service.org to inquire about music opportunities.
Our theme for 2023-2024 is “Pursuing Peace.” We will continue to sing the haunting chants of early Christianity brought to us by the music of Taizé, and we will continue to offer classical backdrops as well as appropriate choral anthems. All music is congregational, all congregation members are invited and encouraged to sing when the Little Choir sings.
Come to hear the sounds of Taizé and sing with us on August 28. Then come back September 25, and every month afterward, to add your voices to ours in our monthly evenings of candlelight contemplative prayer.
