OPTIMIZED, 2013 Psalmist Generation worship conference will be held on the 6 to the 8 of June 2013. Organized by the Anglican Diocese of West Malaysia this conference aims at challenging the participants to rise up to a new level of worship through music and dance. With 8 conferences in the past 11 years, Psalmist Generation begin with the encouragement of Senior Pastor of St. Peter’s Church Ipoh, Rt. Rev Datuk Ng Moon Hing who is now the Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of West Malaysia. Inspired to influence mainly the Anglican churches in West Malaysia, the mandate was given to raise up a generation of worshippers who will give God extravagant love and extreme submission. And year after year, many churches, even those from other denominations, and especially the supportive Ipoh churches, have been joining the Psalmist Generation conferences.
The name, Psalmist Generation was inspired by Ps Christopher Choo who said that “a psalmist is one who runs after the heart of God”. Challenged to be like the psalmists who run after the heart of God, we desire to see our generation and the generations to come giving themselves wholeheartedly to God.
Whist previous years have seen participants from all over West Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak, this year’s delegates are mostly from Kajang, Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh. And with speakers such as Rt. Rev Datuk Ng Moon Hing delivering the keynote and Workshops such as ‘The Musician’, ‘The Vocalist’ and ‘Dance in Worship’, this year’s participants can expect a time that will inspire them to worship in Spirit and in Truth.
Conducted by the Resonate Band from DUMC, ‘The Musician’ workshop will touch on subjects such as supporting the team leader and thinking as a team, rather than being individual players. Through this workshop, Resonate will demonstrate the important concepts such as band dynamics with key insights to the individual instruments, creating an atmosphere of worship, skill drill, and preparation as a musician, and playing with confidence as a band.
‘The Vocalist’ workshop will touch on the core values in worship, why lead worship, engaging the congregation, working with your team and the roles of background vocalists. Led by Ps Gilbert Tan from DUMC, this workshop is especially catered for worship pastors, worship leaders, and background vocalists.
As for those who are interested in dance, Elaine Chan from Good Gifts City Church, Singapore will be conducting a ‘Dance in Worship’ workshop. Those who attend this workshop can expect to learn how movement can invite God’s presence, release freedom, healing and partner with the Holy Spirit in releasing His gifts. Other topics that will be touched on are discerning God’s voice and message for the moment through movement, significance of colors, and the redemption of this powerful art form for the Lord’s Kingdom.
