7: CMC GYM - Volunteering an Item



Apart from their pastor giving a light-hearted sermonette once a month, GYM at Christ MC has a participative approach which I like. They encourage attendees to volunteer an item, be it a solo song, playing an erhu, singing a dialect song or acting out a sketch. Doesn't the Bible say: "Rejoice with those who rejoice" and "Be joyful always", especially when they are old folks living their lives out in good company?


And so, in response to their participative approach, I asked Kenneth whether we could sing a duet in support of Indonesian believers (domestic workers in Singapore and our brethren in Maluku). He said yes.


Here's a slideshow that we used to accompany our duet, background music and singing by Indonesian Gospel singer Meriam Bellina. Sing along with it, won't you?
