Loving God wholeheartedly and longing for his glory Director: Pastor Iggy Wong

Highlights

• We are thankful for the various teams in the magnification space (AV, Music and Service leaders) growing in working together well. This has been challenging at times (making a Sunday work well is very complex!) but there is a great humilty and desire to keep working to this end.
• The music teams have been growing in health and it was wonderful to introduce new team members onboard. We’re thankful to Bonnie for her leadership in this area.
• Special events have also been a highlight, with our Christmas service particularly being a time where our musicians stepped up and really worked hard to help us as a church as well as our many new guests raise our voices in song.

Challenges

• Our ageing equipment and non ideal space has presented challenges in enabling our sound to be clear as we’d like. This has impacted both music and preaching at times.
• AV team and service leading teams are currently operating at a stretched capacity, with key volunteers having to double up at times.
• Pastor Iggy’s ability to invest into this area continues to be small, due to the growing demands of leading the church more broadly.

Key Initiatives

• Thanks to the hard work of Steve Lee, Bonnie Fong and Matt Wong, there are proposals being investigated in consultation with professionals, to optimise the sound in the hall and enable us to sing better together and hear the word more clearly together.
• We are seeking to re-invigorate prayer in the life of our church, through prayer events that will help our church engage with God personally. We had a great “Thy Kingdom Come” and the second half of the year will see a new “pause, praise, prayer” event be launched.

Please give thanks and pray for these things we have shared

I love serving in the music ministry as I get to bond deeper with friends I’m serving with. It really warms my heart to serve together in a team & lead the church to worship through music God has created.
