Announcement: Youth choir rehearsal time-2:00pm-3:30pm(amended)

Last week the Tawau Adventist Youth has gathered for a meeting in the church library. The meeting started at 2:00pm. We had discussed several topic. For example: revising AY program, youth choir, AY T-shirt(cool!), about this blog...etc. By the way, we have a new Facebook fan site, so please come and join Adventist Youth Tawau, if you have a Facebook account, if not... It is a good suggestion to make one now. :)

As one sincere member of the youth choir, there is one thing I want to express here, it is to stress the importance of attitude and discipline. Why do we need a youth choir? Youth choir is a lot related to music ministry, in fact it is one of it. Music is essential in worship and spreading the good news. Statistic of the church shows that a big part of visitors came to church and become a baptized member is through music ministry. Everyone likes music! Hence, youth choir can be an attraction to people. Besides that, we praise God by our voice and also will encourage and lift up anybody who listens. Plus, in a choir, you can learn how to sing and to use a correct tone. It can be a free-of-charge music lesson.

But however, sad to say, that our church youths seems to have a reckless and ignorance attitude to the choir. We arrived late for the choir, we chit-chat and talk to each other while we practice and don't have an appropriate respect to the choir director. Since when we became like this my fellow brothers and sisters? When can we truly behave ourselves? Look at other churches youth choirs, they can sing really good, we envy them and want to have a choir like that but we didn't put effort in it. We practiced a song for months and it still stays the same song after months because we are still not familiar with it. And since our choir was established from the beginning of 2010 until now, we are not even prepared to present a song yet! What is the function of our choir?

Remember the first meeting? We were so on fire to be better! We decided to have an active AY and choir for the good of youth and God.... But where is the spirit? Let us not be forgetful, that we, Tawau Adventist Youth never speak in vain, we keep our promises to men and to God. Now the choir rehearsal time has been changed to Saturday afternoon 2:00pm-3:30pm for our convenience, let us be serious, we have to get rid of our immature playful attitude, at least when we are in a choir. And let us "be an example to the younger ones, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity."(1Tim4:12) We are proud of ourselves, for we are active, discipline, happy and pleasing Seventh-day Adventist Youth.

If there are anyone who have the interest or willing to sing for the Lord, or maybe you like music and is so kind to join us in this choir, we embrace you with our warmest welcome. Seriously, our choir is lack of people, we do need more singers! All youth, boys or girls, 2:00pm-3:30pm in the Kuhara Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Tawau. May God bless our youth choir! Amen. -edboy
