On Saturday, 26th October, the Watford Town Seventh-day Adventist Church buzzed with anticipation for its annual Music Day.
Hosts Linda Lusingu and Dennis Wanguirubi welcomed everyone in attendance and set the tone for the day’s proceedings.
Today, the church celebrates not just musical talent but also its power to bring us closer to each other and to God.
The day began with a thought-provoking family service message, *The Power of Music - "Who Cares About Christian Standards?"*, delivered by local elder Kevin Sterling.
The day's highlight was special guest artists, *Voices in Praise* from Birmingham. Their reputation for inspiring gospel music had travelled far, and the congregation eagerly awaited their arrival. They did not disappoint, singing songs that brought rapturous applause.
Local artists took the stage throughout the day, showcasing the vibrant talent within the church community. Our talented young people performed a mix of solos, group pieces, and praise and worship songs. Their energy was infectious, and the audience clapped along, cheering them on.
After a delicious lunch, the afternoon concert featured songs from *Voices in Praise* once again, their presence lighting up the room. They had everyone clapping and swaying in their seats. The group’s dynamic energy was contagious, and soon the whole congregation was on the edge of their seats, wanting more.
As the afternoon progressed, the atmosphere became even more vibrant. The local praise team had the whole congregation singing along as a choir. The blend of harmonies filled the church, and even those who didn’t consider themselves singers and were initially shy found themselves caught up in the spirit of the day.
The day concluded with a final performance, a collaborative song featuring both *Voices in Praise* and local talent. The unity on stage mirrored the community spirit within the church, and the uplifting music echoed through the auditorium, leaving everyone with a sense of hope and connection.
As the event wrapped up, attendees mingled, exchanging stories and laughter. Families enjoyed discussing the performances that had touched their hearts. It was a day of joy, faith, and community—a celebration that would linger in their memories long after the final note had faded.
Watford Town Seventh-day Adventist Church Music Day 2024 had not only showcased incredible talent but also reminded everyone of the profound impact of music in bringing people together—a beautiful tapestry of voices woven into the fabric of their community.
We thank our Creator God for giving us the gift of music to bless the soul.
