Reaching Tampa and beyond, and having a blast doing it!

Northside Assembly of God Worship Ministries (choir, band and frontline singers) in Tampa, Florida is one of the most exciting and life changing groups a person could ever be a part of. This blog serves as a spot for members of the team to gather and read information pertinent to our ministry, and for visitors who happen to find us to take a peek at what we're doing. Whatever group of people you belong to, we invite you to take a look, and...be blessed.

Sunday, December 27 - what's happenin'



Worship Set:
Again I Say Rejoice
Say So  (new song)
Your Name
Wrap Me In Your Arms

"I am Free" will be in the books in case we don't get the song, "Say So" done in time for Sunday morning.

Video of Say So: 


SAY SO

What does it mean to be saved?
Isn't it more than just a prayer to pray?
More than just a way to heaven?
What does it mean to be His? 
To be formed in His likeness
Know that we have a purpose


To be salt and light in the world (in the world)
To be salt and light in the world


Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so
Say So! Say So!


Oh that the Church will arise
Oh that we would see with Jesus eyes
We could show the world heaven
Show what it means to be His
To be formed in His likeness
Show them they have a purpose

I am redeemed (6x)
To be salt and light in the world (6x)

Let the redeemed of the Lord rise up
Let the redeemed of the Lord rise up
Let the redeemed of the Lord rise up
Rise Up! Rise Up!

Choir Song for Sunday:  Celebrate

Colors for Sunday morning:  YOUR CHOICE - just stay within platform code.

Hope you all have a FABULOUS Christmas day!  And, hope to see you at Christmas Eve Communion.  Love and appreciate you.

Sunday, December 20


Here's a photo of Maddie today so you can see her wonderful progress.  :)

Choir Members ~ you will not have anything to concern yourself with in preparation at home  for worship this week except for the three choir songs we are doing, plus a few Christmas carols.  Do not worry about anything until you get to rehearsal, which will be at 8 am.

Colors this week are black, with gold or silver.

Please be on time so we can go through the order of service several times and make sure everyone knows what is expected.

Thank you!

Sunday, December 13


FANTASTIC JOB last week!  Service was awesome.   Also a fantastic job at choir rehearsal on Sunday.  I can tell you have worked really hard and have been practicing your rehearsal tracks a lot.  Just a reminder that there is another choir rehearsal THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT 8:30 PM for all choir members.   We needed to pull this extra rehearsal due to some absences and needing the whole team there.


Following are songs for this week in worship:

Again I Say Rejoice
Freedom
Desert Song
Freedom Reigns
O Come Let Us Adore Him (Chorus only)


Colors for this week:  Black and gold or silver


Choir song:  Rain On Us (Holy Spirit, rain down on us...)


Thanks for your diligence with all of this AND thank you in advance for helping at the workday on Saturday starting at 9 am! 
Love you all

Sunday, December 6



Worship Set:
I am Free
Again I Say Rejoice
All About You 
Wrap Me In Your Arms
At the Cross (I Bow My Knee…)

Special notes:  Again I Say Rejoice is a new song.  We will do it this Sunday if we get it in rehearsal.  If we do not get it complete to a satisfactory point to do on Sunday AM, we will do it in the coming Sundays.  Please note that if we do Again I Say Rejoice, we will not do All About You, and vice versa. 



Rejoice in the Lord always
and again I say again I say
Rejoice in the Lord always
and again I say again I say
Rejoice

 Come bless the Lord come
bless the Lord 
Draw near to worship
Christ the Lord
And bless His name
His holy name
Declaring He is good

 O that men would praise Him
O that men would praise Him
O that men would praise His name
Praise His name
to the ends of the earth


Choir Song:  Break Through

Colors:  Black and Red

A reminder that this week is choir luncheon and rehearsal.  This is a very important one as it's our last Sunday one before the main Christmas service (Dec 20).  For lunch we are doing a Christmas lunch...meaning, what we'd like you to do is bring your FAVORITE CHRISTMAS DISH that you have at your family's Christmas dinner, to share with everyone.  Also a 2 liter beverage.  Please sign up with Candy. This is going to be a Christmas celebration with the choir as well as a rehearsal.   

Now, one more thing...I need you to EAT YOUR CD'S this week -- your rehearsal tracks.  How hard you work on this depends on how easy rehearsal will be on Sunday.  We need your help with this.  Please, please, please listen to those CD's until you are sick of them!!! 

I love and appreciate all of you and can't wait to see what God will do in this month of Christmas Miracles!!!

Sunday, November 29



FIRST...HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Okay team, let's try this order of service now that I've got more team members (hopefully) back this week from vaca...


Praise & Worship:
We Have Overcome (Thanks be to God…)
Trading My Sorrows
How Great is Our God/How Great Thou Art
You Are Near


As far as band members go we should only be missing Mike Kenney this week.  Everyone else should be in the house.  Frontliners, please let me know ASAP if for some reason you will be missing.  As you can see from last week, the order got completely changed mid-week once I knew that some key folks would be missing, so this is important.

Choir song:  "I Just Want Jesus"  (solo - Juleen Stramiello)

Colors:  Black and Green

Next choir rehearsal is the first Sunday in December.  This is REALLY important as it's our rehearsal before Christmas!!!  We need ALL HANDS ON DECK!!  Please, please, please go over your Christmas rehearsal track CD's.  Depending on how well you do on the Sunday rehearsal depends on whether we add Wednesday night rehearsals after church. 
 
Have an amazing Thanksgiving.  Can't wait to see all of you Sunday!  The church looks PHENOMENAL, by the way!!  If you haven't seen it yet I can't wait for you to see it.  Amazing!!!  Kudos to all who helped.
