Worship Contest 2009

Worship Contest Closing Soon

Have you had a chance to hear the songs submitted for the 2009 Worship Contest? Each song was written to worship an Amazing God. When I think about His Goodness it’s staggering!

The ‘contest’ ends on January 9th, but it’s never too late to write a song of praise to the One who gave His life for us. You can hear the songs and vote once a day until the end of January 9th, midnight, pacific standard time. It’s one vote per 24 hour period.

You can find the songs at http://worshipguitarclass.com/contest2009-2.html

As an added treat, there are four original Christmas songs or Christmas song arrangements at the bottom of the page from four talented Christian Artists. Two are an instrumental guitar solo and an instrumental harp guitar piece.

I hope you enjoy each song and the hearts behind them. And, more importantly, I hope each song helps you to draw just a bit closer to the ONE who is being worshiped.

Blessings in Christ,

Jean

Attributes of God in a Song

Every day I’m struck with awe at God’s hand in creation. Even this morning, walking in the neighborhood, I saw a woman with a standard size white poodle and started thinking of all the variety of dogs He has made!

Years ago, we had a toy poodle. A toy is the smallest variety of poodle. We got him as a puppy and he used to fit in my coat pocket. So cute.

How about horses? Each type of animal God has created is filled with variety and beauty!

I’m going to be hosting another worship song contest in September. The theme this year is expressing attributes of God. It can be about what He has created, how immense is His Love, how wonderful His grace or anything that focuses on God. It can be either to Him or about Him.

In the last contest there were songs submitted by whole families. Why not have everyone in your family contribute to a song? Maybe each child can suggest a verse or ideas for the song?

If there are enough family entries, I may even have a prize for the most listened to song in a separate ‘Family’ category. Like the previous contests, there will be a category for kids and one for adults. Will post the details of the contest in the next couple of weeks. Meanwhile, start thinking of writing your song to express your understanding of God’s great and wonderful attributes!

Jean Welles Worship Guitar Class for Kids

admin — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 05:16:31 +0000

The Worship Guitar Class for Kids program is done and ready to help kids worship our God with a guitar in their hands. Here is a 7 1/2 min. excerpt of the first lesson.

This is a 7 1/2 min excerpt of Lesson One

Available from KidsWorshipGuitar.com

How is this program different than the other kid’s program? It has all Christ-centered worship songs. The only song in common is ‘This Little Light of Mine.’

This new program has 9 lessons, instead of 7, and I replaced the finger exercises with actual little worship songs to pluck individual notes, that help to strengthen their little fingers. This is in lessons 2 & 3.

The first 3 lessons are one finger chords and one note at a time melodies. Lesson 4 introduces the D and A7 chords which require 2 and 3 fingers to hold down. I had received feedback that the previous program moved too fast.

The ‘Jean Welles Worship Guitar Class for Kids’ has practice sessions that all start with prayer. I wrote most of the songs and they are based around Christian values. The songs are ‘Thank You Father,’ ‘Pray Without Ceasing,’ ‘How do I Love My Neighbor?, and more.

One of the songs, “I Worship You Lord,’ was written by Rachel Webb at age 6. It’s from the 2006 worship contest. I thought it would be particularly special to the kids. I’m hoping they will be inspired by Rachel to write their own songs.

Puppets appear at the beginning and end of the DVD. Thanks to Pastor Gerald Mittman and his friends. Pastor Gerald is a Children’s Pastor and he thought up the skits. The DVD ends with a gospel presentation and invitation. He tied it in with being in ‘tune’ with God through Jesus Christ.

Oh, there is also a bonus gift for the first 50 orders. It’s Paulie Heath’s CD ‘Innocent Eyes.’ which includes her song ‘Make Me Pure.’ This is the song from the 2006 worship contest. Paulie was ministering in California last summer and I purchased these CD’s to support her ministry and to bless you too.
