Serenading Silence.

The SMK Air Itam & Union HS clan.

MGSians; Spot Megan in black!

So I went in and introduced myself and ask them to tell me their names one by one. I'm guilty of forgetting their names right on the spot =X One girl didn't know if she was 15 or 16 =\ I looked for my pendrive to start the slideshow I prepared for P&W, and there was no laptop. So I had to go hunting in the church for a laptop and projector. I found a White MacBookPro! xDDD


Plugged in and started the slideshow late! It was 7.45pm already. The icebreaker I chose was a Sunday School song, "When I Remember What The Lord Has Done". The girls really enjoyed the "No no no, never never, ah ah ah!" bit. Of course, I made them do excessive butt shaking xD Megan played the piano for the session.


The next song was "This Is How We Overcome". The girls were so into the turning around and jumping and dancing. It was an action song. Loved it! Even Auntie Noreen joined in the action. They were a very lively bunch.


Then I moved on to a fast and jumpy number "The Time Has Come", which I thought was impossible for me to sing the song without my band there. I thought it would've been dead and unlively without drums and guitars. Guess it wasn't half as bad. In fact, it wen't perfect. The room was echoing with enthusiasm.


The last song was "'Till I See You". This is one of my favourite songs, it's got alot of meaning to it. The girls were a little slow catching on to the rhythm of the song, because they've never heard it before. We sang the song once, then I stopped for a lil' prayer..

..and then we sang it again. This time, you could like really feel the whole room coming alive with passion for God, and there was definately a deeper understanding of the song the second time around singing it. Their voices were louder, their praise rose and the meaning of the song etched deep in their hearts.

I was happy to lead this bunch of girls who I thought would be difficult to communicate with as I didn't know which type of crowd I was getting. And it was also my first time that I was invited to worship lead as an outsider. Well, not exactly as an outsider because I am a YL myself, but. I'm used to worship lead in school, and at camps that I attend, but this was a different experience as I am not a member of this camp. I was always used to only a certain bunch of girls that I would lead. Get me? Lol. It was an awesome, awesome experience and I would love to do it again and again!


And then it was over.. Haha, not quite yet! I made them sing "When I Remember What The Lord Has Done" again, just in case they forgot the ridiculous butt shaking! xD It was sad to part with the MacBookPro, oh I just miss it so much now :(


I shared with them some verses from the book of Colossians, to remind them the whole purpose of the camp. That it isn't just a camp that you attend, sit for an exam, and if you pass, you get to be a Young Leader. That's not how leaders are made. And the rank of a Young Leader is not to be worked for and then just to lose the whole meaning of working for the braid and the rank. Ohhh, it's so much more than just a rank. We're not only the Girls' Brigade, but we're also God's Brigade.


Colossians 3 : 23-24
23. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men;
24. since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.


And there you have it, Worship Leading ; Von style =D

EDIT : I just heard from Auntie Noreen that the girls and the officials really enjoyed my P&W session last night, and are planning to sing one of the songs on Sunday during Wesley's 2nd Service =D
