THE ANNUAL MSC CHRISTMAS-NEW YEAR PARTY 2009

On January 2, 2010, MSC held its annual Christmas Party at Tito Boyet's (Bass) family compound. After a blur of different personal Christmas activities of each member, I wondered if we could ever squeeze into our schedules, to organize even a simple get-together of our group. But because of the efforts of our President, Cocoy (SOPRANO) and Vice, Mackoy (TENOR), finally a party was thrown!

Even though the food prepared this year was simple, it is still awesome and very satisfying (compared to my New Year's eve meal! ahaha!). Each section handled a specific meal (as always!) although I heard that most of the work were made by Tita Lulu (soprano) and Tito Oyet (Tenor).

Our members always come up with games to help liven up the party a bit more! Karesse and Adie, made sure of the active participation of all the members in the games they prepared for the night. Unfortunately, since the games took a lot of the time, the annual MSC IDOL singing competition was not included in the programme this year. And Gerry (Tenor) would still retain the title of MSC idol!

The party lasted until the wee hours of the morning and we had an opportunity the re-evaluate our group and individual members' performances shortly after our traditional exchanging of gifts. The party ended as if on cue at 4:30 AM, just enough time to prepare for the 5:00AM scheduled Mass service.

Here's to a blessed year ahead, with more new talents and more fun-filled fellowships to come!
Cheers!

A FAMILIAR SIGHT

Does this hallway look familiar? This is usually the scene each member sees every time we show up to serve at the OLHRP church every Sunday and during special occasions. Lucky for our younglings that they already have a finished church to serve at unlike before that we sing amidst dirt or mud (when it rains) because the church was still in construction.

I hope the anticipation of seeing and traversing along this hallway up to the choir area will never ever wear out and fade away forever.

THE FEAST-VALENZUELA CHRISTMAS WORSHIP-CONCERT

For the first time, The Kerygma Feast-Valenzuela held a Christmas Worship-Concert at the Maysan Barangay Hall Covered Court on the 29th of December, 2009.

Many came out to attend and be blessed and what a relief seeing that even our families were there to support the event and the performers as well.

Our Music Ministry, comprises mostly of MSC members namely:

Bernard Que (Bass) on drums

Arnel Antonio (Bass) on guitar

VOCALS:

Karesse Marzan (Soprano)

Cocoy Amorin (Alto)

Jeybi Cruz (Bass)

Gilbert San Antonio (Tenor)

Jeff Bangay (Tenor)

Ivan Antonio (Tenor)

and US based honorary members, the mother-daughter team of Josie and Angeli Ferrer.

Some of our members come from the different choirs serving our local Parish. All united and willing to serve the Lord through music!

Special thanks to Tito Danny Añonuevo, our Music Ministry Leader and the rest of the Light of Jesus Community for making this endeavor possible and successful!

A CHRISTMAS GREETING

TO ALL MSC MEMBERS HERE AND AROUND THE WORLD...

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

MAY THE LORD SHOWER US ALL WITH ABUNDANT BLESSINGS ALWAYS!

EARLY BIRD

The group decided on having a different approach to the tardiness of the members during the services which has been a major problem of MSC for as long as I can remember. So on the 8:00PM mass on the night before Christmas, the first person who would arrive to church will be awarded 300 Php.

The very first member to be awarded with such is Jeff Bangay (Tenor)!

Congratulations! Keep it up!

I hope the other members would do the same with or without any form of incentive or penalties next time.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

CHRISTMAS WITH MSC 2009

Christmas 2009 for MSC wasn't at all that hectic compared to the previous years. Although many new songs intended to be sung specifically for this year's Christmas season were imposed by the Diocese.

MSC sung for the First night of the Misa de Gallo on the 16th of December and two more of the nine masses held at 4:00AM and was assigned to sing for the 8:00PM Mass on the 24th.
