IDO4 Concert 2010 Teaser

Our worship leader, Sis. Leslie Santos, has just visited Osaka, Japan and Singapore with Bishop Luis Santos and Pastora Norma Santos to hold the Encouragers Level 1 and One God Worship Seminars.  A lot of our brethren were thankful for the said undertaking and are hoping for another set of seminars by next year.  Aside from this, she is also diligently involved with engaging the GCCOTE-Achievers LTAP, GCCOTE-Yupper CHADOP and GCCOTE-Nugen CCOP in various outreach activities, aside from handling the worship team and running the church administration.

Due to the unpredictable weather condition nowadays, we have met our usual dilemma: heavy floods.  Just recently, we have cancelled the separate practices for dance, choir and band due to the said problem.  This was one of the reasons why our vocal practice was moved to another place to make sure that we won’t miss the schedule since it is our usual avenue where we establish new vocal arrangements.

During one of the choir practices, the choir members were surprised when they were requested to sing individually.  Each of them was anxious for their turn.  On another note, one person was added to join the choir in the platform for Sunday worship services.  After the evaluation period, two more trainees will be expected to come in as well.

The band has polished some transitions in the line-up and was able to revise the musical arrangements of some of the IDO4 songs.  We have recorded two of the revisions during soundcheck last Sunday and it will be subject for review by an arranger.  The dengue outbreak has befallen one of the band members and we’re continually praying for his immediate recovery.  We understand that more challenges will come our way but God is always able and faithful.

It’s roughly 90 days before crunch time and we are hoping that we’d meet the event calendar as planned.  Tickets will be released soon! Watch out for the announcements and we’ll be posting the site where you can purchase the tickets.

‘Til our next blog. God bless you always and to God be the glory!
