PROGRAM INTRODUCTION [2 minutes]:

INTRODUCTION:

We are encouraged in Hebrews 10:25 “not to forsake  gathering together, but to encourage one another, especially now that the day of His return is drawing near” (NLT). It is comforting to know that you are not the only one going through challenging times, and can find encouragement in the experiences and testimonies of your fellow brethren. Through the sharing of their testimonies, our faith can be affirmed and our eyes opened to the fact that God is still working in the lives of many people even today, in remarkable ways.

MAIN PROGRAM [45 minutes]:   

Program Outline

Print out a list of approximately 10-15 songs that could be rendered during the program through a projector or display screen. Make sure to have different persons or groups to sing/perform the songs beforehand.

Place a microphone to the front of the church and/or have a cordless microphone on standby for those unable to walk up to the standing mic at the front of the church.

Disseminate the list of songs to members in the congregation.

Ask individuals to look over the list of songs and ask them to choose one song and share a testimony about how this song has ministered to them in the past. This testimony should be between 3-5 minutes long.

After the testimony, the group or individual who is slated perform that song will then sing/play that musical selection.

You can be creative with how the songs are presented. It could be sung, rendered through sign-language, played on an instrument etc. This will add some diversity and creativity to the various musical selections.
