Our
service started at around 10:15am and after the prelude, we danced a modern dance “COVER THE EARTH “choreographed
by Jovin.
We
sang 8 songs. There was anticipation on what will happen on the service.
Overall, we had a different kind of service this morning; people were watching
and listening, (we) hoping that they were grasping the messages. We ended in
praise and worship where they were inclined to participate and not just watch
in worshiping. After what was all heard and seen, it was time to bring back all
the glory…!
People
went out with joyful hearts.
And
we hope Lord, that You used this experience in order for us to learn and find
ways to worship You creatively, heartfullly, truthfully.
This
night, we also led the praise and worship at Estanza UMC. We were all humbled
and grateful that God has been graciously using us for His glory.
Methodist
church is a traditional-worshiping church; It was practiced 100 years ago until now.
And somehow, (for me) Methodists were afraid of change, most in worshiping the
Lord. And when praise and worship entered into the church, as part of the worship service, it was not fully welcomed;
there were lots of criticisms. It was a slow change...
But God
graciously and patiently opened the eyes of the church, to fully accept the
praise and worship as part of the worship service for the Lord.
It
is our prayer, that we, the church, would greatly boast for the Lord, for spiritual
growth, for praise and worship...
God
knows our desires, our cries… He knows... God is always at work. He knows, He
sees….
God teach us to be patient, as You
have been patient with us. Change our heart, our perspective and use the praise
and worship in a different light for Your glory alone,
It is not enough that we are the only
ones who are enjoying Your presence, who tastes Your goodness. We are all commanded to praise You Lord
with all that we are…
And may we be joyful always in proclaiming
Your goodness, Your mercy, Your grace
and Your unending love...
Keep on teaching us what we should do
Lord, teach us, humble us... All glory is due to Your Holy Name...
Amen
