The Lagro United Methodist Church Praise and worship teams conducted a seminar workshop and prayer retreat last October 25 at the Lagro UMC sanctuary. The participants were composed of praise teams from the main church and from the mission points; Spring of Life Fellowship and Pangarap Fellowship.
The speakers were Rev. Allan Asuncion, Administrative Pastor of Taytay UMC and one of the speakers of Ablaze (the Holy Spirit Conference); Rev. Gilbert Cedillo, Pastor of Masa Mission and Mrs. Sally Solis, Campus Ministry and Ms. Roselle Garrino, CE Deaconess.
The theme is “Experiencing God’s Power through Music”. The activity started with a devotion led by our Pastor, Rev Orly Veron with the praise and worship led by the Spring of Life Team. His message centered on 1 Samuel 16:23: “Whenever the spirit from God came on Saul, David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him.” He emphasized the value of music as a ministry and the spiritual responsibility of the music ministers.
Team Building activity followed, facilitated by Ms Roselle Garino. She emphasized the value of working together as a united team and the importance of rising above technical inadequacies to reach the team’s goal.
After lunch, the main activity followed led by Rev Allan Asuncion tackling the topic of “Experiencing God’s Power through Music Part 1- Enriching Talent”. The session answered the following questions: How do we worship God through band instruments? How can we make good music as a group? How to deal with the common complain of being loud and noisy? How to form an Effective Line Up? How can we balance musical preference with the congregation. How do we choose the songs? Who should choose the songs? How to run effective rehearsals?
“Experiencing God’s Power through Music Part 2- Touching Spiritual Life” followed after dinner. The session was led by Rev Gilbert Cedillo and he touched the questions: How can we experience the power of God through Music and how can we share it with the congregation as music ministers? What are the things that we need to keep in mind? What are the possible hindrances?
The last activity was led by Mrs Sally Solis. She touched on the topic of understanding the sacredness of the ministry and the value of the right spiritual condition of praise team members.
We are looking forward to an empowered praise team as we continue fulfilling our calling as music ministers.
