Hi guys

Yesterday was great at 3rdplace, as a community I think that God is directing us to simply pray more, praise more, worship more.

at 3rdplace we see the way of Jesus happening in three movements..

1. Towards God
2. Towards others within the faith
3. Towards the world.

The first movement is often accepted and then neglected.. It's easy to be a social club, social justice and poverty work is very fashionable in church life right now. But truly standing still and listening, praying, engaging God? A different story.

So yesterday, we simply read the Psalm, I briefly explained some of the images, we sang together, prayed together, and lifted our hearts to God as a community.

At one point, Janet who lead the music last night, suggested that we just make a single note with our voices..

simple.

just let the vibration of your vocal lift your prayers towards God (If you saw the film 'As it is in heaven', it was something like the final scene). to hear our voices mingle and harmonizing spontaneously, was one of the most beautiful things I have heard in a long time. It was unplanned, unstructured and simple.

Give it a shot in your church or community.

it'll change the way you see each other and music..
