Pop Song Poll

There's a poll on this blog, over there on the right panel.

You can choose which pop song from the list you like best.

If you want, you can choose more than one.

I know I can almost never choose just one when asked which I like best of anything- favourite colour, flavour of ice cream, band, anything.

I like polls anyway. Something about being able to choose, I guess. Like at the Mandarin restaurant.

Follow the Olympics through a friend's eyes

Come to the Mall on Friday at 2pm to hear some members of the York Region Community Choir sing. We're doing O Canada and You Raise Me Up. I was thrilled to be asked to participate. The Olympics are soooo cool. You can watch the opening ceremony at the Mall on big screens starting at 4pm.
Hey, if you're into the Olympics, Sean McKinnon has an excellent blog about his experience as a tech guy for broadcasters. He blogged about a bunch of other Olympics too, including Vancouver and Beijing. He talks about things that he sees in the city and behind-the-scenes issues that you don't hear about in other places. He's a really great guy that goes to Trinity. Check out the blog here: http://lob2012.blogspot.ca/

Teen Choice Awards

http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2012/07/23/teen-choice-awards-2012-demi-lovato-style/
So, when you Google Teen Choice Awards, which happened last night, you get an article about Demi Lovato's dresses. "We think Lovato was gorgeous in all three looks, but want to hear what you think". -Not a word in the article from People Magazine about what a great job she did hosting the show or a comment about the awards she won.  Is that all we really care about- clothes and hair?

Count On Me - Bruno Mars

If you ever find yourself  stuck in the middle of the sea,

I'll sail the world   to find you

If you ever find yourself lost  in the dark and you can't see,

I'll be the light   to guide you

Find out what we're made of

When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like 1 2 3

I'll be there

And I know when I need it I can count on you like 4 3 2

And you'll be there

Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah

Wooooh, Wooooh yeaahyeah

 

If you're tossin and you're turnin and you just can't fall asleep,

I'll sing a song    beside you

And if you ever for-get how much you really mean to me,

Everyday I will    remind you, oh

Find out what we're made of

When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like 1 2 3

I'll be there

And I know when I need it I can count on you like 4 3 2

And you'll be there

Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah

Wooooh, Wooooh, yeah yeah

  

You'll al-ways have my   shoul-der when you cry

I'll ne-ver let go, ne-ver say good-bye

 (You   know   you) can count on me like 1 2 3

I'll be there

And I know when I need it I can count on you like 4 3 2

And you'll be there

Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah

Wooooh, wooooh     You can count on me cause I can count on you                                               

Song Selection

What songs would you like to sing? There are some ideas for songs in a box on the right panel, and some songs are posted, but we can sing things that you suggest. Suggest a song. As long as the song has some meaning, a positive message for us, and doesn't have any "4-letter" words or other disrespectful lyrics, then it'll be fine. 

Sister Act 2" Joyful, Joyful "

So inspiring. Can you sing and move? We'll see...

Logo

Hey, future TTC members!

We need our own logo: something simple that we can maybe print in black on a white t-shirt and on posters, forms, etc. It would be great if one of us could design it. Use TTC, or TTC Newmarket, or just Teen Choir. Be creative and have fun, but try to keep it simple so that we can replicate it easily with a black marker.

Send me ideas at renatesdesk@rogers.com.

We've got to sing and play music. We just have to.

Psalm 150

150 Praise the LORD!

Praise God in his Temple!
    Praise him in heaven, his strong fortress!
² Praise him for the great things he does!
    Praise him for all his greatness!
³ Praise him with trumpets and horns!
    Praise him with harps and lyres!
⁴ Praise him with tambourines and dancing!
    Praise him with stringed instruments and flutes!
⁵ Praise him with loud cymbals!
    Praise him with crashing cymbals!

⁶ Everything that breathes, praise the LORD!

Praise the LORD!

Chris Tomlin - Indescribable

Here's another song I really like. I love this video too, especially the picture of the lion. Whoa.

Waiting Here For You (radio version) by Christy Nockels

This is so pretty. Heather V and I sang Ever Lifting by Christy Nockels at church last Sunday. Check that one out too.

TTC Trinity Teen Choir starting soon

Get ready Trinity Teens! We're going to get together every Tuesday night to sing and make music. We'll prepare a couple of pieces to sing at church on a Sunday in October and a Sunday in December. We'll have plenty of time to sing just for fun, for ourselves too. We're going to sing some contemporary Christian music and some pop songs and maybe we'll make up some stuff of our own too. We're going to sing stuff that moves us, and we're going to move the other people at church too. TTC will move. (Teens can join starting in their 13th year, at age 12, and can invite friends from outside Trinity to join too. More friends; more fun.)
