Music Seminar with Philip Percival (EMU)

Philip Percival and his team from EMU Music will be in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday October 18th for a Contemporary Christian Music seminar.

Philip is the Executive Director of Emu Music and also the Music Director at St Ebbe's Church, Oxford, UK. Philip is passionate about seeing Church musicians trained well and teaches the Bible and practical skills at conferences and seminars around the world. He also writes songs, and is perhaps best known for We Are His People and the music for Consider Christ and Never Alone . This seminar is jointly organized by EMU (www.emu.mu), the Gospel Growth Fellowship (GGF – www.gospelgrowth.com.my ) and SMACC (St. Mary’s Anglican Cathedral Contemporary – www.smacc.info ).

We’d like to invite you and/or your music team to come and participate in this seminar which will be held at the Multi-Purpose Hall of St. Mary’s Cathedral, Jalan Raja, Kuala Lumpur. This is at Dataran Merdeka opposite the Royal Selangor Club. Directions to the meeting place are found at www.smacc.info/25001 .

But if your church is in the evening we’d like you to come at 10:30 and stay until 4 (or even leave earlier if you need to get to church) as the morning program is repeated in the evening. We don’t want you to miss your own Sunday church. But we’d like you to come to one or other of the ‘Congregational Bible-based Music Ministry in Action (plus talk by Philip)’ sessions.

If you play any musical instruments (including classical ones), please bring them along! There will be opportunities to use them in the workshops.

Please register online (www.gospelgrowth.com.my/equip) so we know how many people are coming for catering purposes.

We will be screening the documentary entitled, "The Case for Christ". This documentary is based upon the award-winning best-seller book of the same title which documents Lee Strobel's journey from atheism to faith through his 2-year investigation of the Bible and the life of Jesus Christ. Strobel, the former legal editor of the Chicago tribune, draws upon his investigative skills to examine the historical accuracy of the Gospels, the personal claims of Jesus and His resurrection from the dead.

RSVP latest by 19th May 2009 as there are limited seating. For more info, e-mail smacc.info@gmail.com
