Music service at an adult day center

On October 16, we visited an adult day center, where we regularly visit.

We sang twelve songs mainly from our gospel songbooks and we also sang some Japanese folk songs and popular songs.

At first, we sang Japanese folk songs while doing some light exercises with the participants and we enjoyed singing rounds together.

The elderly participants were especially touched by the gospel songs.

They specially requested us, so we are scheduled to visit two times in November. And we plan to tell the Good News with songs in December.

How many times?

We have begun singing gospel music at an adult day center in Tokyo since April. We're so happy to visit there.

When I counted how many times we visited there, I realized it was the fourth time.

I'd like to perform there at least seven times, but I don't have a special reason for that number...

Performance in August

Performance in an adult day center

We visited again in an adult day center in Nakano.

We visit there regularly.

This month, we performed for 45 minutes with two gospel singing groups named "Uranus" and "Ezob".

 In the first half we sang some popular Japanese songs and in the second half we sang "Yasuragi" and "Sound of The Wind" gospel songs.

The audience sang "JOY" and "Great Love", a couple of our originals, along with us.

We received comments like "I was so moved.", "So fun!", "Please come again" and more. 

We also plan to perform next month. 

We are grateful to the Lord.

We performed in a nursing home

We visit a nursing home in Tokyo once or twice a month. In August we visited there to hold a gospel concert with another gospel group named "Uranus."

There were strong winds that day because of Typhoon No. 11. However we were protected during our visit to and from there.

They sang "Lay Down Your Burdens."

In the beginning, we sang Japanese traditional songs and popular songs together for 30 minutes. After that, each gospel group sang our own original gospel songs. And then we sang famous folk songs with senior citizens from the community. So we performed for one hour in total.

The audience enjoyed it so much, some of them were moved to tears. One of the staff members in the home was very impressed.

We also plan to visit there next month.

We are grateful to the Lord.
