I went to SAC underground worship hall on friday night ..
cool!!
It is not really big .. compared to the most famous underground
worship hall in Singapore.
But I find it much better than the other underground worship hall
in the west.
1. furniture .. instead of seats, they have benches. They have
cushions tucked behind the bench in front of you, for you to kneel
(I assume). This facilitates praying. When you are tired (like I
was that day) .. you can even lean forward and rest your body
weight on the bench in front of you .. haha
2. architecture .. the stage is a bit disappointing as I expected
it to be bigger. The altar is ok, just like the one you find in RC
churches. And once again, the architecture and interior design is
much better than the other one. They have this cross on the wall
behind the stage (expected) .. no big deal you say BUT this is the
first church I been to that uses wooden poles to fashion the
cross!! If you can't visualize .. think of what boy scouts use to
pitch their structures.
2.1 Upon scouting the surrounding areas, I realize wall leads to
the transparent ceiling above (made of glass). So from the top
(ground level), you can actually look down and see the altar and
the stage. It must be a sight to behold, when sunlight seeps
through and illuminate the stage.
2.2 Innovative. I find the screen particularly innovative. In most
churches, the screen (for the projector) is static, in the sense
the projector shines on a fixed spot on the wall. But for SAC, the
screen is on a movable door. So imagine a very big door with a
small opening but on top is where they project the image.
3. Access. I find the place easily accessible, unlike the one in
the west. You don't have to walk down many flights of stairs, like
the one in the west. IMHO, you should only do that after 2 hours in
the cinema.
