Please Read Carefully!

Dear fellow worshippers,

Musicians and singers schedule are already out, please check your schedule regularly and keep reminding yourself when you are serving.. please be responsible and don't be late.. I also need to remind all choirs to please come on Sunday morning at 9.15 am for practice.. please choir leader to make sure all the choir member is coming on time..

To all musicians, singers, dancers, or sound system.. if you are late or probably didn't even come, without NOTICE.. there will be a disciplinary action or you guys (hoorayyy!).. not be harsh, but we all grown up need to be more responsible.. coming late is ok.. unable to play that day is ok.. as long as you GIVE NOTICE (to me atleast or someone in charge), or if you can't serve that day please get someone to replace you.. love you guys ;)

Also, Ari Lasso is coming to Perth! So here's the musicians playing for the event, practice will start hopefully next week:

Keyboard: Samy, Agnez
Elec. guitar: Annes, Rico
Acc. guitar: Raymond
Bass: Larry
Drum: Natan

Also, in Tong Cafe 3, our department will have a food stall.. so I will need some of you guys to help either cooking, waitering, operating tilt, taking order, etc etc.. :)

Thank you for ministering with us to serve God in our department of Praise and Worship. It's been my honour to have play music with you, sing with you, etc etc.. It's my desire to bring our ministry in our church into a whole new dimension.. I believe that God still does His miracles as He did 2000 years ago.. So let's pump up our passion for Him, bring out the best in us.. enjoy what we are doing.. be enthusiastic.. because God is more than ready, to bless us, abundantly

Have a nice day

Huehuehueheuheuheuheuhue.. oke2.., move on the next part, it gets more serious baby..

[2. SHARING - essence of Praise & Worship ]

Okay, so we are denoted as "the Praise and Worship Department", hence, every people in it is a "Worshipper". That's what people knows and thinks. However, Do you actually know what is the essence of PRAISE & WORSHIP itself? and what it means by being a TRUE WORSHIPPER?

So here are some definitions people may think about praise & worship:
1. most common -> praise = fast songs, worship = slow songs (it is NOT)
2. is an act of singing/playing music for Christian songs
3. act of dancing, clapping hands, lifting up hands, jumping
4. music! music! and music! it's all about music!

Well, let me tell you something, Praise and Worship is not about them.. what it means by worship (and praise) is an act of glorifying God, magnifying God, exalting God.. wait? are they too hard to understand? .. i'll say worship is an act of putting a smile on God's face. Sidney may say it is all of me (human) for all of HIM (God). but whatever it is, it is about making God happy, pleased, joyful through the way we lived our lifes.

What it means by True Worshipper, is different from just being a worshipper. Every single person on earth IS a worshipper.. the thing is, what do we worship? we may worship money, jobs, school, girl/boy friends, family, ourselves, and even the worship itself (which means worshipping the act of singing/playing music without having to understand the essence of it). TRUE WORSHIPPER is one who worship GOD himself, focussing to none but Him. Remember, whatever you do in the ministry, you ain't pleasin' ur leader nor the congegrations, instead you only be pleasin' God.

Now you may think you ain't good enuf to give what you have for God. Some still worry if their skill is not up to the standard. Some thinks their voice are crap. Well, here's a good example. Imagine kids drawing his/her parents in a stickman kind of drawing. He/she then gave the drawing to the parents. Which would you think will his/her parent reacted:
1. OMG! such a horrible drawing! that ain't me! That looks more like a broomstick man!
2. WOW! Thankss! That's the best drawing if ever seen! Thank you so much sweetie!
Now, whatever we have, even if it's a broomstick man or a Monalisa smile kind of drawing we're givin' to God, it is our hearts that matters. When we give our best, then God will see it only as the best!

So guys, whatever you've got, whatever you're worried of, I encourage you to give the best through our heart. I encourage you to praise & worship Him every single hours of our days. Remember! it does not always about singing or musicing, or dancing, or sound systeming (bad Englishhh).. but in EVERY step, thought, saying, act we take, we do it as to praise & worship God and to give Him one huge smile :)

God is watching, give Him our best show!

[3. Finally... ]

Finally, i would like to say thank you SO MUCH for all your support, ministry, and effort. Nothing is useless for what you sow will let you reap greater in the future. Me, atas nama Praise and Worship Department, are honoured to have such committed people like you guys. God bless y'all! See you in Core LIVE!
