Few memories stick out more than ten years ago this New Year’s Eve. By God’s divine providence, I found myself on a missions trip to the country of Trinidad and Tobago. I went with the Seminary Vocal Ensemble of Southern Seminary to do some music education workshops with the Trinidadian peoples.
As part of the New Year’s Eve festivities, the churches conduct an “Old Year’s Night” Service. Turns out, it was like one of our New Year’s Eve services, but it began at 10:00 p.m. and ended around 3:00 a.m. There was praising, singing, preaching, some more praising and singing, some more preaching … it was a festival to end all festivals. What better way to enter into the New Year!
I’ll be returning to Trinidad in about a week and a half to conduct a leadership workshop among the Trinidadian pastors. I would appreciate your prayers.
Happy New Year.
