FOP 05 + Music Ministry

A journey about to begin. We shall keep waiting patiently. The days have come for us.

Festival Of Praise [F.O.P. 05]

It was awesome!! Seeing 2 great bands coming to Singapore for a celebration of praise. But then, my heart felt disappointed and constraint to worship. That night was like paying lip service than worshipping. As I was seated behind the screens, behind the band, I was thinking of the day that COOS would host its own Festival Of Praise. LOL.

I felt ashamed suddenly. I realised that we could only 'worship' God if there is good music at times. Bringing Hillsong and Delirious is great but the attitude of my hearts must be right. The condition of our hearts must be right. What do I mean by that? If Hillsong and Delirious were not the main bands and we invited other bands, will the congregation still worship the same way as that Friday?

Just some thoughts though.

Music Ministry - COOS

It's been a great 3 months since April and almost 8 months after the audition I had last December. The understudies program is great and I'm looking forward to more understudies and a big family of Worship Leaders, musicians, vocalists and more!! I was expressing my needs that I have to Pastor Jenn, Josh and Chris. It was a great time together, speaking off my mind about the ministry and how I want to see this band grow.

I've also expressed myself in taking up a secondary instrument, preferably the conga/percussion or even drums, etc. As long as there is room for me to learn, I'll learn. As long there is a need, I'll do it. I'm still enjoying that worship every Saturday and I've learnt to speak up, being more constructive and learning to love all my friends in the band. Frankly speaking, you guys are really awesome. Seeing you people on stage, worshipping the Lord Almighty just makes me feel motivated to worship Him even more!

As our band continues to grow, I hope that we have bonding in the midst of us. It is critical and I believe that in order to fulfill the vision of having more youth service and more youth bands, we need to start getting bonded. Have lunch, dinner together. Have a time of celebration as in a time of worship together. I believe that we are doing this already.

I believe our 'tomorrow' is really coming.

Be Blessed!
