A Retreat for His Advancement

The previous two retreats were in Bintan and Cameron Highlands. This year, we decided we'd do a 'staycation' and packed off to the northeast corner of Singapore, making Changi Village Hotel home for 3 days. The retreat was intended to concretise the vision and plans for Agapella in 2010 upon seeking God's direction.

Just before check-out today, the retreat wrapped with a 'vocal masterclass' by Marianne. Praise God the retreat turned out to be smooth, relaxing and purposeful. It began on Friday with really catching up on one another's lives and learning what lay ahead for each member in their individual lives. The open and warm sharing was truly testament that God had planned for each member to be accountable to the other in upholding one another in prayer. It was simply good to be altogether again after our last gig early last month. There was just so much catching up to do!

It was good to blend our voices again in worship, in refreshing ourselves physically and spiritually and revising some of our repertoire. That's not to say Agapelleans don't know how to have fun...

...and lots of food to go around!

Though exciting plans await Agapella in 2010, sorry to say that some of these are under wraps, but we'll be sure to announce breaking news at a more appropriate time. But of more immediate attention, Agapella will be busy shaping up for Easter.

If you'd like to enquire about having Agapella be part of your event, please do not hesitate to email us.

But we know that God's been there even before Agapella gets to the milestones of 2010. As surely as the sun rises from the east and sets in the west, we know our God is faithful and whose name will be praised from the rising of the sun to the going down.
