Prayer Focus : Singers and Band

“Then David spoke to the leaders of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers accompanied by instruments of music, stringed instruments, harps, and cymbals, by raising the voice with resounding joy.”
1 Chronicles 15: 16

Prayer and Thanksgiving :

• Thank God for all who have stepped forward to sing or to play.
• Pray that they will remain focused on Jesus, remembering the purpose for this project.
• Pray for strength & good coordination as rehearsals intensify.
• Pray that His message will come through even as they make a joyful noise unto Him.

For those who can’t get enough of the preview… here’s a recording

Prayer Focus : Publicity
Mark 16:15 : Then Jesus said, “…..Go everywhere and announce the Message of God’s good news to one and all….”.

Pray :

• For the Church to pray together as we prepare for TGBCG
• For willing hearts (and willing feet) to help with the flyer distribution, and wisdom to respond correctly
• That the hearts of our friends and neighbours would be open, and that they would respond favourably

It’s been 1.5 months since this blog was started for The Great Big Christmas Giveaway (TGBCG).

We are now occupying the top 4 results in the google search for “Great Big Christmas Giveaway”, and the top 2 for “Big Christmas Giveaway”!  We are also somewhere on the 1st page for “Great Christmas Giveaway”, “Great Big Giveaway”, and “Christmas Giveaway”. However, we are not found in the results for “Christmas Present”.

We will be giving out prizes and gifts as part of our Christmas giveaway – thanks to our generous sponsors. However, TGBCG is really not about prizes. It is about gifts or presents. And “presents”, in a way, paint a more formal picture of giving.

As with every gift or present, there needs to be a giver and a receiver. We have enough gifts/presents for everyone. Will you, your family, and your friends come to receive your present?

The SALT team has been busy. Here are some of the areas they have been working on, and their concerns…

Sound

• Work out the number of microphones required
• Work out the allocation (Who gets what type of microphones, passing of microphones etc…)

Lights

• Appropriate use of colours
• Effect of colours e.g. what do you get when you mix a blue shirt with yellow lights?

Appropriate placement of equipment

• Get the right sound and light effect
• Does not get in the way (onstage, backstage, and in the control room)

Suitable people who are willing to serve

• Need people to learn and help operate the equipment
• A crew that is willing to spend time at rehearsals

From this Sunday, we will be setting up our booths outside the sanctuary for registration and queries.

You can register from the comfort of your home/school/office through the links on the right

Once you’ve successfully registered, you should receive a confirmation email. A sample is included below…

Here is our artist’s impression of how the stage could look like. The design team are working closely with the sound and lights team to see how this could be implemented.
