SÃO PAULO - On Sabbath, December 10, 2016, the choir from our church in Vila Matilde went to Parque do Carmo, a local park in São Paulo, to spread joy and God's love through song. They were joined by friends and visitors who helped in the event. The objective of the event was to bring attention to Christ's first advent and to place hope in the hearers' hearts for His second coming.
The brethren and volunteers placed chairs on an open lawn in the park and the musicians set up their instruments. Individuals who were passing by were invited to stay and listen. Then, the brethren handed out literature to those listening while the ensemble played and sang.
May the Lord bless those who participated in the event, as well as those who were placed in touch with God's truth through song and literature.
"Song is one of the most effective means of impressing spiritual truth upon the heart. Often by the words of sacred song, the springs of penitence and faith have been unsealed." --Review and Herald, June 6, 1912
