The Romantic Candlelight Service
Today was the 2nd weekend service we have at the Singapore Expo. Having only move in there for 2 weeks and preparing for the festive mood, Pastor Kong arranged for a candlelight service this weekend to gear us up with the Christmas mood.
O well.. I really din realised that the year is coming to an end soon and honestly I still dun really have the Christmas celebration mood and without the sense of urgency to buy presents for anyone yet. O perhaps that was before today.
Today's service was wonderful.. The most beautiful one I've had so far. This candlelight service is the first one that City Harvest ever had in the entire church history of 16 years. Though short but wonderful.
The hall was dimmed and Pst Kong lit his candle and using the flame of his candle to lit the zone pastors' candles and the zone pastors walked down the aisle to light the congregation's candles. Can anyone even imagine what would it be like to have 7000 over people in the hall with 7000 over candles lighted up? The sight is beyond words description.
Holding on to the candles and singing carols, these certainly spurted up the Christmas spirit in me. More than that, we are called to be the light to the world. All the more we've gotta shine brightly for God in the world of darkness.
I really wish to show u pictures of the candlelight service but too bad, cos the security din allow me to take pictures. I really wish for more of such service. I hope we can have one every year. =)
