Christmas Presentation and Carolling

Hi guys,

As some of you know, we will be doing a variation of the Everything Skit for the Youth Evangelistic Meeting (19th Dec) and Sunday Service (20th Dec).

To all of you who have come for practice this Saturday. Thank you. I think we have made good progress. :)

We'll be having practices again this coming Saturday (5-7pm) so please come and be punctual (note to self).

Please listen to the songs and remember your parts. :) And remember that we want to make this a really affective and moving presentation. It doesn't have to be perfect, but it has to be of good quality because we want to give a good first impression to visitors.

***

On another note, we are doing Christmas caroling again on Christmas Eve this year! :D YAY! Brandon Ho is in charge for caroling and practices will soon start after church Sunday services. So, clear your pipes and memorise those jingles because we are hitting the houses to spread the Christmas cheer.

On that note. Blessed December to everyone! :)

Five minute presentation for Christmas

Hello people,

As some of you know, the youth/creative team will present a short 5-minute presentation for Christmas service on 20 December 2009.

What I have in mind is a sort of dance presentation that tells of a story through a song. I am trying to write an original number for this presentation while Julie will come up with the choreography.

As such, this presentation will involve musicians, dancers, minimal props/costumes, and stage/sound assistance etc. It will be on a small-scale basis but I think it would be really exciting for us! ;)

To help get a better idea of what I am talking about, here's a dance presentation set to Lifehouse's Everything which has been getting quite a lot of hits on Youtube.



We will begin practice after youth meetings on Saturdays beginning on 21st November. We will discuss this further on this Saturday's youth meeting. :) If I can't produce an original composition by then, I'll find another song then.

Do let me know your thoughts/suggestions/ideas and how you want to contribute to make this presentation a success! :)

And above all, remember- we are doing this all for the glory of God.


In love,
Max Koh

Come, Christians Join To Sing Hymn

Hi, I will be singing this old hymn this Sunday too.



1. Come, Christians, join to sing
Alleluia! Amen!
Loud praise to Christ our King;
Alleluia! Amen!
Let all, with heart and voice,
Before His throne rejoice;
Praise is His gracious choice:
Alleluia! Amen!

2. Come, lift your hearts on high,
Alleluia! Amen!
Let praises fill the sky;
Alleluia! Amen!
He is our Guide and Friend;
To us He'll condescend;
His love shall never end:
Alleluia! Amen!

3. Praise yet our Christ again,
Alleluia! Amen!
Life shall not end the strain;
Alleluia! Amen!
On heaven's blissful shore
His goodness we'll adore,
Singing forevermore,
"Alleluia! Amen!"

-Max Koh

Glory, glory hallelujah (Original Song)

Hi people, I'm songleading this Sunday and I will be introducing a new song I wrote recently. Here's the chords, lyrics and video. Don't mind the poor quality. Just wanted to get it out there as soon as possible.

Glory, glory hallelujah (D)

Psalm 149:1 says “Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones.”

Psalm 115:1 also says that “Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.”

Help needed for CDC Chronicles 2009

Hi all,

We have come to the time of the year again which only means one thing- CDC Chronicles! Well, ok. There's also Christmas and other jolly-ho stuff this time of the year.

Anywho, I am sounding the clarion-call for anyone who would like to help me in the publication of the CDC Chronicle 2009. I need people to write, contribute, edit, get stories, chase people and do some layout designing.

If you are interested, please let me know cause I will be having a meeting soon to discuss what we want in the CDC Chronicle. We hope to distribute the publication either on Watchnite Service or in the two weeks after.

Thank you!
