Scripture Reference: Acts 2:42 - 47 (NIV)
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

The Ministry of Music
The most important role of the choir is to provide a spiritual setting for the worshippers. The opening song should set in motion transference of the mind-set of those in the sanctuary. It should lift our hearts and minds out of self and point the way to God the Father. So many worshippers come to service heavy laden with numerous problems and concerns. They need a sanctuary to let go of these internal thoughts and prepare their hearts to accept the word of God. Worship service music should always lift hearts and minds toward God in a closer relationship with Him.
Remember that worship is the celebration of the mighty acts of God. Therefore, the music should point to and bring into remembrance what God has done through His Son, Jesus the Christ, and His continuing presence through the work and power of the Holy Spirit.
Choirs that make-up our ministry of music are:
Second Sunday - Reverend A.A. McCrae Gospel Choir
Third Sunday - Mass Choir
Fourth Sunday - Youth Choir
Fifth Sunday - Reverend T.L. Henry Male Chorus
Concert Choir - Serves as requested by the Pastor
PSALM 33: 1-4 (KJV)
Our Music Ministry is coordinated by Pastor Henry and our Minister of Music, Brother Jerry Oates.
Brother Oates is a native of Faison, North Carolina and has been involved in the ministry of music from a very young age. He has worked with various choirs and churches in Wayne, Duplin, and New Hanover Counties since the age of twelve. His love of music began at his family’s church, Holy Temple United Holy Church in Calypso, North Carolina. From there, he served with churches in Faison, Goldsboro and Mount Olive, North Carolina.
Brother Oates moved to Wilmington in 1991 to attend the University of North Carolina at Wilmington under a full academic scholarship. While there, he served as a musician for the UNC-W Gospel Choir and as a member of the UNC-W Concert choir. In addition, he served as Minister of Music for Warner Temple AME Zion church from 1992 until 2004 under the pastorate of Reverend Terry L. Jones, Sr.
Currently, Brother Oates is principal of the Mary Mosley Learning Center in Wilmington, North Carolina and is pursuing a Doctorate degree from Fayetteville State University. He has two sons, Miles and Jared.

Praise Dancers
let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people:
he will beautify the meek with salvation.
Psalm 149: 3, 4
Coordinated by Erika McCullough Simpson
The Praise Dancers serve to praise and worship our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ through different forms of dance. The dancers consist of an adult and youth group. The youth also serve as a step team. Both groups perform at Macedonia and often participate in activities at various locations throughout the City and County
Prior dance experience is not necessary. Participants should be at least school age. We welcome anyone with the desire to learn and the desire to please God with their praise. Click here to view our 2008 Rehearsal schedule.
