Rehearsal with Elderly Choir - 28th of November 2013

Dear all,

Tonight, we attended the rehearsal of the elderly choir. Though we were few, we sang several songs. It is really admirable to see the elderly choir members singing without ceasing every Thursday night at 1900 at CCF RH. They keep persevering and stay dedicated to serving the Lord through music and hymn. Hallelujah! Blessed be HIS name!

There is no limit to the number of participants in the elderly choir. Interested members may reply through this email. Thank you.

Concert 4 voix 2013 - Sharing

Bernard
Je remercie sincerement de faire partie à ce concert de 4 voix. J'ai vécu une expérience unique et merveilleuse. On a découvert nos propres voix, nos talents et a appris à exprimer notre énergie et joie en équipe. Nos louanges et dévouements pour Dieu étaient extraordinaires, bien sur avec l'aide du professeur, nos guides, Monsieur et madame Liang, qui nous ont montré à maitriser nos voix. Je remercie aussi Monsieur Percy qui nous ont aidés au piano et à la "baguette" (bâton du chef d'orchestre). Ils ont fait un travail remarquable. On découvre aussi que les "edlerly" ont de très bonnes expériences à enseigner aux jeunes. J'ai fait des nouveaux amis avec les musiciens et choristes de differentes églises. Ils ont tous donné et continué à persévérer pour ce concert d'evangelisation. J'ai vu beaucoup de jeunes qui sont passionnés pour servir Dieu à travers la musique, la danse. J'espère qu'il va avoir d'autres jeunes, d'autres découvertes, d'autres talents qui nous rejoindrons l'année prochaine. Merci. Merci au public qui nous chaleureusement. Merci! Dieu vous bénisse!
Kenrick Concert 4 voix
First of all I want to thanks my grandma who told me to take part in this concert . I want to thank Mr & Mrs Liang for their help to improve my voice. I thank them for always trusting in me in every situation. The benefits that I had in participating in the concert 4 voix are that we learnt more about our own voice and learnt the way to better mix our voice with others.
I thank Ecole Arpege, Mr appadou and all the musicians who helped us and contributed selflessly to these concerts.
And, I want to thank each and every people who placed their trust in us and every single one who have prayed for us. In Him!
Michael What I specially liked about the 4 part choir is the interaction between elderly and youth. I greatly enjoyed that as we mingled more and had more interaction with them through the rehearsals. 
Through my participation, I met some elders whom I never imagined I would have talked to them in other circumstances. I also liked the interaction and cooperation we had between the different churches involved. I personally think that the level of involvement, cooperation and willingness is a magnificent testimony to Godly love between brothers and sisters in Christ. It also was a great opportunity for us to see the wonderful talents that God has blessed us with. The songs, music, dances, sketches.
Highly looking forward to next year! God bless!

If ever, you cannot attend any of the concert, please keep the evangelism concert in prayer, pray that lives of many are touched through our voices and they accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour! Amen!

Prayer requests

Dear all,

We are thankful for the safe landing of Mr and Mrs Liang and we pray that CCF Youth Choir's collaboration within CCF, with CCF Elderly Choir, and with ECTB choir and the orchestra of Ecole Arpege will go smoothly as per HIS will.

We are thankful CCF Youth choir and CCF Elderly Choir just had a rehearsal together; it was amazing. (See previous post for more details).

We pray for the good health of all participating bodies and for all participating members, that their health are kept in the hands of God, that they may sing and play freely and with all their might for the glory of the Lord.

We pray our performance at other churches will touch the hearts of many and that they ultimately join this big family of Christ and receive eternal life.

We pray we receive all the necessary permissions to perform at Cascavelle so that, we may then go beyond the walls of the church and go into the world, bringing the gospel to them.

We pray that more SIS and BROs join the 'Concert 4 Voix' and sing with one voice praising together. And, that more members will visit the youth choir's blog for all relevant and related information.

God bless,
CCF Youth Choir

Dear all,

Report of tonight's rehearsal (Thursday 30th of May of the year 2013)
We are really delighted attending the rehearsal together with the elderly choir. We are amazed by their will where their average age is beyond the retiring age. It is really admirable for them. We really appreciate their effort and hard work. This encouraged everyone in the youth choir, who are in their spring of youth to sing even louder, all for HIS glory. We sang in four parts but with one voice. Hallelujah! Blessed be HIS name!

Special thanks to Mrs. Liang for practising Nr. 11 Chor together with tonight.

Vocal lesson/ Rehearsals
As many members of our youth choir are not familiar with the songs. Mrs Liang suggested practising the songs of the concert with us during the vocal lessons. i.e. for the rehearsal on Saturday 16:00 at CCF RH, we will first have some vocal lesson after which we will practice the songs.

Song Lists
We are really thankful for Michael's (Bass) suggestions, we found the following videos on Youtube. Hope these will help you to be better prepared before rehearsals.
