ACTIVITiES
SPCCAA 41
Scriptural passages taken from
Luke 1, Psalm 103, Psalm 66
and
Philippians 4
were read by Dr Moses Cheng (1967), Dr
Anissa Chan, Ms Lucilla Leung and Dr Cheung Ting Kin (1988),
channelling the thoughts of the hearers to the foci of the two
messages: “Giving Thanks in Prosperity” and “Giving Thanks in
Adversity”. Similarly, the two anthems sung by the Alumni Choir,
Prayer of Thanksgiving
and
Rejoice in the Lord Always
, were
intentionally selected to reinforce the same thoughts. The two
messages were interspersed by a restful and meditative rendition
of the second movement, “Sarabande”, from
Holberg Suite
, Op.
40, by Edvard Grieg, by the SPCC String Orchestra directed by
Mr Daniel Chan (1987), to create mental space for the audience.
Following a lively presentation of
All Things Bright and Beautiful
by the Alumni’s Children’s Choir led by Ms Margaret Chan (1981)
and the reading of the high-priestly St. Paulian Exhortation by Mr
Andrew Luk (1978), the Carol Service concluded in a most festive
fashion with the congregational singing of
Joy to the World
and
We Wish You a Merry Christmas
.
