I sincerely and warmly welcome you all to LCO National Music workshop 2017
edition in Jesus name.
As you are all aware, this is the most sensitive LCO Annual National programme,
Which i tagged “Capacity building workshop”. It is a forum where skills and more
effective techniques of our ministry are been enhanced and upgraded.
This year edition is exceptional with slight modification, to begin with a special session
for all choirmasters, which is aimed at improving the leadership quality, spiritual
discipline and technical competence of our teaming Choirmasters, which will in turn
reflect in the quality of singing during our various divine worship.
I urged all of you to give out your maximum cooperation to the resource persons to
enhanced effective instructional delivery to realised the core objectives of the
workshop, which is the yearnings and aspiration of the National executive council
(NEC).
I want to also warn here that, all participants should be conscious of all the facilities in
this venue. Adequate care is needed on the use of such facilities. So that tomorrow
we shall be accepted to use this place.
Finally, I want to thank the MTC for a successful planning. I wish you all a successful
workshop as I declare it open in the name of the father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
