On 23 June, we went to Weston Church, Oamaru, to share God’s message through songs and the spoken word.
The multicultural response band (no official name yet; sometimes we refer to it as a ‘mix’ band) played and led praise and worship songs.
Caroline of Weston Church played the bass guitar. Tanu Aki (Samoan Church) and Emer-son Reyes (Filipino Life Group) played the drums and percussion instruments, respectively.
Guess who played the guitar? Errol James, of course. He’s the maestro and manager of the group.
Well, I love playing the keyboard. Playing with the band before giving the message makes me relax.
Jewel led the praise and worship, singing with the singer onstage and the instrumentalists at the side.
We joined their two services; the first started at 9:00 AM and the next at 10:30 AM.
Meeting, worship, and fellowship with the Weston Church and pastors Nancy and Ron Parker was a blessing.
In September 2012, Errol and I discussed the possibility of this ministry. Now, it’s happening.
The Lord God is so good for paving the way and guiding us.
