Melbourne Staff Songsters

Judges 5:3 (NIV) ~ "I will sing to the LORD, I will sing; I will make music to the LORD, the God of Israel."

Tonight in the THQ Chapel, I enjoyed a musical journey down memory lane. The occasion was to celebrate the 20th anniversary the Melbourne Staff Songsters ministry. As a former MSS member it was a privilege to share in fellowship and music-making with this unique vocal group.

Past songster leaders, Owen Harris and Rod Reeve, joined with Staff Songster Leader Brian Hogg in conducting choice songs enabling us to give God the glory during tonight's rehearsal before Commissioner Jim Knaggs (TC) brought this worthwhile celebration evening to a conclusion with a challenging devotional thought from Zephaniah 3 verse 17. Also gracing the occasion were former executive officers who have all contrubuted significantly to MSS ministry.

The MSS has an important and effective vocal ministry throughout the territory and beyond. While it may have been a trip down "Memory Lane" (for past members!), praise God, it continues to be an exciting journey down Ministry Lane for present MSS members.

The Melbourne Staff Songsters (MSS) is a Salvation Army gospel choir that exists to communicate the love of God and invite listeners to respond to Jesus Christ.

AMEN ~ let it be, Lord!
