THE BAY

Messiah MBC Inspirational Choir of Los Angeles took their annual trip to the Bay March 20th-21st. On the 20th the choir was able to check into their hotel and perfect their praise at Ebenezer Missionary Baptist church, their hosts for the weekend. After going over songs, all the choir members headed to Bay Street in Emeryville. There they would have time to eat, relax and fellowship. Later that night everyone gathered for consecration, as they all know it is important to remember why they are singing in the first place. There they gave God glory for the save trip, amongst hearing some of His word. They may have been fed physical earlier but our Chaplain knows it is more important to be fed spiritually, for man cannot live on bread alone. Everyone then went to their respective room to get some rest for the very busy Sunday they had ahead. Sunday morning came faster than many expected and everyone piled into the vans to head over to Ebenezer MBC. The women were able to attend Sister Craddock’s Sunday school, where they would be fed a lesson about always maintaining that “new heart”. After Sunday school the women and men met up and got ready to sing God’s praises in the morning worship service. Later that day they would sing God’s praises in EBC’s Annual Youth day. Throughout that Sunday the choir sang familiar songs like He’s Able by Deitrick Haddon and songs that were new to their repertoire like My Mind Made Up Written by Darius Brooks. There was a skit done by the youth of EBC which encouraged the youth of today to take care of their responsibilities, go to school and to not be “bad” just because it seems cool. Overall the trip was a huge success bringing friends and family in the church building. God moved throughout the place and many had their spirits lifted or received a blessing. They thank God for the safe return home and look forward to going again next year.
God is good,
