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.
