"A FORETASTE OF THE HEAVEN ABOVE" - SINFONIA MOSAIC's HYMN SINGING FESTIVAL

Vancouver, BC (May 21, 2008) 

On May 17, 2008 the Hymn singing festival hosted by SINFONIA MOSAIC and Chinese Christian Church Music Institute for Worship (Canada) was successfully concluded. The theme of this sing-along is "O FOR A THOUSAND TONGUES TO SING" titled after one of Wesley's hymn.

Over 1,000 enthusiastic congregation members participated in this sing-along. The SINFONIA MOSAIC CHRISTIAN SINGERS, SINFONIA MOSAIC, organist Dr. ZION WU were under the direction of conductor Dr. HERBERT TSANG to share the power of congregational singing. As one of the participant comments, "Singing hymns with so many people together, it surely gives us a foretaste of the heaven above!"

Rev. MATTHEW TODD of the Port Moody Pacific Grace MB Church was the master of ceremonies. He leaded the congregation to experience the power of congregational singing and the understanding of the background of such valuable treasure of our Christian heritage.  

This hymn festival was a joint project between SINFONIA MOSAIC and Chinese Christian Church Music Institute for Worship (Canada). Both groups are registered non-profit organizations serving the Christian community in Vancouver, British Columbia. It is our prayer that we will be able to continue the mission of this ministry: to "creatively bring Hymns to all Christians in a cross-cultural and inter-generational setting for worshipping our LORD". Hope you will be able to join in this event in the future.
