Gains of the Multicultural Worship

Above all, our gratitude and adoration to the Lord God Almighty for causing us to commit, participate and hold another successful multicultural event at Wilson Street Baptist Church.

Also, gathering with people of several ethnicities enriches our worship and fellowship maturity.

Let me highlight some gains we garner through the multicultural response ministry events.

• It heightens our awareness that people from other countries live among us. Also, it is a great time to fellowship and get to know some of them.
  
• It provides a venue for integrating migrants into the community through the church. You see most migrants, especially those from non-English speaking countries, tend to confine their fellowship.

• It creates a learning moment where the host community is challenged to think of “ways” to respond to this learning moment.
   
  During the 6 July multicultural event, most of us laughed when Carlo (the Vanuato) greeted the audience, “Good naet!” because it sounded like “Good night”, but that’s “Good evening” in Bislama.   He’s very nervous, but praise the Lord! His desire to sing from the heart kept him going.

  So having English conversations would be very helpful for our migrant brothers and sisters.

• It’s an event where the local church unites and cooperates to perpetuate a heavenly activity. Our gratitude and appreciation for those in many ways supported multicultural worship.

Well, I believe the list will go on as we reflect on and consider our multicultural response.

Feel free to share what you’ve gained from the recent event by leaving a comment.
