MUSIC MINISTRY

The MIPC Music Ministry comprises a blend of youth and mature members, who are anointed and gifted musicians, singers and Praise & Worship leaders. Members are committed and always disposed to serve and offer their gifts, for the glory of God.

This ministry meets in the premises of Sts. Peter & Paul church, Ruwi, every Monday at 8 PM for practice and prayer. This Ministry vibrantly supports the Praise & Worship leader during our weekly prayer meeting every Thursdays. Their talents are also a blessing to all other spiritual and fellowship gatherings, conducted by the MIPC.

Our Ministry is also blessed to regularly perform on our parish level. This Ministry sings for the Eucharistic Celebration every alternate Fridays at 8:30 am in our parish. They are further blessed to be chosen to offer their talents in supporting our parish monthly Eucharistic Adoration (A time for togetherness for all language prayer groups in our parish). They assist visiting Priests and Preachers throughout the year, with singing and leading the congregation to praise and worship, particularly during Advent, Lenten and Special Retreats organized by the parish.

Scripture Verse:
[Psalm 150:1-6] "Praise the LORD! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!"

Ministry Prayer:
Gracious and loving God,
Our souls are filled with the power and joy of your song of Creation. Our hearts dance to the beat of your rhythm as we raise our voices in response to your call. Wrapped in the arms of your sustaining and eternal Love, we offer our gift of music. In the presence of your Holy Spirit, hearts are stilled to hear, minds are stirred to action, and lives may be transformed. We pray that all who listen will hear with understanding, and open them to feel your presence through the joy in our voices and the passion in our hearts. We pray that all who listen will feel their spirits touched by the wonder of your mystery, and add their own voices to our joyful noise. May we ourselves continue to be uplifted in knowing our singing touches and uplifts many others in MIPC, our faith community. May we cast off the burden of impossible perfection, and let our souls soar on the wings of heavenly music. May we sing always with hearts open to your presence and your power. Amen.

Opportunity: Join us with your gifted talent by offering it to our lord.
[Psalm 95:1] "Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!"
