Special People Ministry (SPM)

Apologise for the long delay. You might think i have gone MIA (Missing In Action) but like Arnold (Terminator) always say, "I will be back"!

It has been a hectic and busy weekend. However all the tiredness is worth it. It was a great joy and delight indeed to play a part in the Special People's Ministry.

Sat
Played the keyboard for the ID Ministry's Christmas party celebration (Intellectual Disabled) which falls under the umbrella of the SPM in the afternoon. It consist of a 5 piece band with 2 guitar, 1 bass, 1 keyboard and a drummer. Unlike last year, this time we played mainly Christmas songs as the members put up a sketch to narrate on the birth of Jesus.

Rush back to close shop and settle some office matters and then returned to church again to 'support' the Hokkien cell group party which consists mainly of the older folks. This group of people are taken charge by my 'immediate' leader and his wife with a few helpers. There is no worship team involved.
Since i was there i tried to play the keyboard for them to liven up the event.
Tonight i chose to attend the Deaf Ministry's instead of the Hokkien service as i shall be going to church on sun.

Sun
Woke up very early eg 0645 hrs to get ready for service @ Expo. Have told my leader i shall be helping him in the Special People's Ministry for the Main and Chinese service. I was basically required to wheel the disabled to the service hall and then to wheel them back after service to the van coming to pick them up.
There was a party being organised for those coming for the chinese sermon after service. Have to help to serve food and drinks and of course to egg them on during the singing.
Usually the cell group between the different gender are seperated but this time we come together to celebrate Christmas.
After the party, we have some packing up to do before calling it a day and i returned to office (as usual)

Was very happy and proud to be able to be involved in this meaningful event. Hope i shall be able to contribute more often for this good cause.
For the last few years, i have been getting 'close' with the needy, aged and unfortunate with my music. This is one small way which i can give back to society for what i am today.
