One Mind: One Voice Part 1

On January 5, 2025, guest speaker John Orr from HomeMissions led the first session of the congregational singing workshop titled "One Mind: One Voice - Undo" during our morning Bible class. John emphasized that everyone is part of God's choir and that singing is a privilege to praise Him. 

 

The session highlighted the importance of using singing as a means to teach and admonish one another.  John encouraged laughter as a way to loosen up, urging participants to sing with the same heartiness as they laugh. He offered practical advice, such as speaking lyrics if singing feels difficult and overcoming fear by letting go of safety nets. 

 

John passionately reminded attendees that God created their vocal cords as instruments for His praise and that no one should take away their privilege of singing before Him. Singing should feel like a joyous feast, not a somber funeral, and participants were encouraged to open their mouths and sing boldly.
