Wah, you are so honest one. Anyway, side track a bit, I have signed up to be a Lector. But so far, I have no chance of doing the reading

Honeybunz SG

Was it you who mentioned before that you were attending New Creation Church? How is it? The newspaper reported that it is highly popular these days.

If not, which church do you go to?

breytonhartge SG

Me personally, New Creation Church, though I was originally baptised at Wesley and am still a member of the church where I used to interpret services for the deaf. I also attend St. Andrews with my mother during the christmas season... hehe.

Honeybunz SG

New Creation is at Suntec, right? Usually on Sunday, I see a super long queue there, not sure whether it's queue for Church Service or not.

I have been to Wesley for a wedding. I kinda like the church building structure. If I'm not wrong, it is the only Protestant Church in Sg that provides Sat evening service, for those who can't attend on Sun.

St Andrews - super nice place. Mediacorp always like to use that place. I have been there a few times just to appreciate the nice internal structure. Sometimes even stayed there for a while to pray.

Icemoon SG

Yah .. if you see syuper long queue outside the foodcourt/cinema .. it got to be the church man.

Actually those big Protestant churches like chc, fcbc all have sat evening service.

Icemoon SG

I only went there for midweek bible study, on and off. The only diff bet. the midweek and sunday one is no eucharist. They still worship, have offerings, and bible study is more interesting than sermon .. whaahah

But hey .. charismatic church pattern standard one .. songs also pretty much standard .. that time I went Catholic Tridentine service I was like wow! Very Happy

Honeybunz SG

What is so "wow"? Very Happy

I also prefer bible study to sermons. At least smaller group, closer to one another. During sermon, you can't pause and ask questions. Razz

Charismatic songs are much livelier. Everyone seems so happy. It's good idea to attend Charismatics on special occassions like Christmas and Easter. Very Happy

Icemoon SG

wow cos we get to see traditions in their original form, many of which you don't see today even in a Catholic traditional service. wow cos the priest says things you don't understand fully .. wahah .. but they got give the lines and translations lah .. but stand stand sit sit until I was so confused .. haha

NCC's bible study is like sermon .. just that the topic is bible study and not everyday living topic like sermon.

Charismatic songs give no choral satisfaction .. the choir is there but do you hear their voices? I think Tridentine Mass with choir singing Latin songs will be a test of skill. Hmm .. ironically I never hear b4 Protestant choir singing hymns .. cos not many big churches are traditional nowadays.

Christmas sing carol songs liao .. haha

ben1xy SG

in australia... we have certain masses conducted in latin... pretty cool

Honeybunz SG

Attended Latin Mass only once with a few youngsters cuz we were all curious. It was conducted by Fr Alfred Chan. But soon after that he was trsf to the seminary to train the priest-trainees.

SingaporeMacross SG

You didn't happen to attend it at Suntec or something right?

ben1xy SG

ahh .. in Sydney.. at the St Mary's Cathedral .. they have it everyweek

i sat through abt 10 times during my stay here... i kinda like it

Honeybunz SG

Crying or Very sad I never get a chance to attend Mass in overseas. I always have difficulties locating them. Once I was in USA, the nearest Catholic Church was 4 miles away! Only attended 1 in HK, but I was pretty late! Sad

Icemoon SG

Of course not. If NCC gives latin mass .. pigs can fly.

I attended it at Holy Cross, Singapore.

SingaporeMacross SG

Nah. If I'm not wrong, the Society of St Pius X (SSPX) has latin Masses there. Don't go for them. They are schismatics.

sillyme SG

I would say my church is a bit of both. So I can tahan moderate amounts of both forms of worship. But I'm inclined to traditional worship. I cringe when the whole church jumps fervently in worship, especially when I feel unmoved Razz

I also tend to like systematic preaching instead of a boisterous speaker stirring emotions.

ben1xy SG

was it in Cantonese?

ben1xy SG

i went to a few christian worships .. i find it cute when we have to accompany it with actions

i remember the song 'walk walk walk walk in the light... walk walk walk walk in the light...' they made us marched round.

it sorts of open u up ... as in ... like i feel more comfortable talking after that

hahaa

maybe its juz me

Honeybunz SG

Ya. Laughing

Honeybunz SG

Smile

Which church do you attend?
