a tune and a tool on missionHOUSTON–Ministry harmonized with music this year as the Texas Baptist All-State Choir and Orchestra took on a new emphasis.
In addition to rehearsals and performances, the 169 high school students selected for the All-State group devoted a day to hands-on ministry in a variety of settings.
“We began seeing the need to change the emphasis from performance to missions for the students,” explained Debbie Smith, one of the event's organizers. “Our role is not only to equip them for music ministry. We want to instill in them that what we do with our God-given talent is more than just singing; it's getting in the midst of people with your hands and your heart.”
