Praise and Worship Night - First Love

This week's CF was one of those CF meetings that ended with a bang, which was a fitting ending for the first semester. It was Praise and Worship Night...where the guitar amps screamed and the drums thundered the YAC where voices singing praise resonated.

Attendance for CF this semester has been encouraging if not great. And the same can be said for this week even though it's the study week and finals are juz days away.

Praise and Worship Night with the theme FIRST LOVE was meant to draw people back to remembering our first love in Christ as Christians. There was a lot of anticipation on the part of the musicians as we rehearsed and practised during those few days before Tuesday.

The night began with some awesome praise and worship led by Samuel Yau(WL) Renee(BGV), Seong(drums), Wei(bass), Timothy(guitar), Justin(lead guitar) and Janet(piano). with a good mixture of energetic praise to soulful hyms..the last song 'Great is the Lord' lead us proclaiming the greatness of God. I felt a need to proclaim it in the midst of the terrible crimes that has been happening in our nation.

SESSION 1
Next was a song presentation by the Alphas with Louise and Lucious (vocals), Renee(vocals and dance), Joel (drums), Julian(bass), Belle(piano), Aaron (guitars). They did a hearty rendition of REFLECTOR and STILL.

next was a series of unplugs...songs that meant a lot to those who wanted to share them with the CF...
Joash presented a song entitled LOVE SONG which is a cover from a band(forgot what band it was) and Justin played the guitar for him.

Justin sang a cun self composed song entitled MY FRIEND with juz the guitar.

I sang a self composed WHERE YOU LEAD which i shared in my blog dated:Tueday, June 8th.

SHARING
Then it was time for Vijay to share the word which he delivered to us. It made me ask some questions like...when was the last time I thought about God's sacrifice and extreme love for me and do I love Him in return through my lifestyle...

SESSION 2
Then Deric's band...Two Freaks and A Guy (Deric, Tze Seong, Tze Wei) presented a song from PFR. And they later sang Love SOng for A Saviour by Jars of Clay. They were actually bringing back their previous Team C when teams still exsisted in the worship team last year.

PG 165 was up next. And we presented YOU'RE EVERYTHING TO ME which we presented in the last BOTB:Tones of Absolution. AFter that we sang Justin's composed Your Light which was fresh from the oven...leading the CF into a time of worship...and rededication.

Deric's band slid in as the atmosphere of worship descended on the CF and they closed the session with a celebrative hym...

Then the lights came on and the announcements and offering was collected...

Then for the finale of the night, PG 165 lead the CF to sing FREE from United Live's To The Ends of The Earth album...indeed God was moving via the many songs that was shared and it brought freedom to those being ministered....it ended with the people shouting for us to sing the song One Way from the latest United Live series...but because of time...we said,' Come back next sem'...which was indeed true...it may be the last CF of the first sem, but it was certainly a beginning of something exciting in the Music Ministry MMU in the CF.. great music, raw talent, awesome potential in the young musicians, skillful playing by the senior musicians..what a great way to end the semester.

EXAMS here...so may be late in blogging this next few days..
