Can't stop the music* - Village People

E-mail dated 13th July 2008 to a fren from another church:-
hey XXXX,

just thought of letting u know that we started having the bass and drums for sunday morning meetings beginning this month!!!

to be honest, it took us all by surprised - the decision. totally unexpected and unsolicited! to my own shame, i admit that i had given up all hope for this to happen in this generation. but God works in mysterious ways.

from wat little i hear, i think the big debate was whether we were gonna have a short time of led worship before the open worship. in the end, the idea was set aside - and it would appear that as a "concession" (or consolation prize?), they decided to have the full band instead.

so we have had it for 2 sundays oredi and so far, no adversed comments. i have been really exercising restrain on the drums!

i still dun know why i'm telling u this! mayb its cuz i think u are one of those who can and will share in our joy.

take care. God bless.

I have to admit that it was pretty scary for me - more than i prepared meself for! As i sat in front of the hall, i could almost feel like all eyes were on me, accusingly! Like how dare i disrupt their worship by banging on the drums!!!!

But it was all in my imagination (i hope!!!).

I'm so glad about it. It is scriptural, and i know our Lord loves music (look in the Bible!!!). Music can help lift our spirits too. And the presence of other musicians takes the burden and stress away from the lone pianist - the pianist said so herself!

Lesson learnt - if you believe in something, don't give up! Keep on persevering and God will answer your prayers... some day!



Now we can put the musicians behind the instruments!!!
