Paradise Band @ FGA USJ

Last Tuesday (the 15th of September), Paradise Band came to FGA USJ for an awesome service! For all of you who missed it, here’s a summary of the event!

Hailing all the way from Adelaide, Australia, the band takes its name from its place of origin, Paradise Community Church!

Here’s a little something about the Paradise Community Church, the Australian Idol winner, Guy Sebastian, grew up in the church and was a long serving member of the worship team before becoming one of Australia’s favourite celebrities.

The music of Paradise Band is energetic, passionate and vibrant. Fromt their first to last bar, the Paradise Band takes the worshipper on an exhilarating journey through euphoric, high-energy praise, iconic anthems and intimate ballads.

The Paradise Band’s previous album releases, “Adore” (featuring Guy Sebastian), “Over and Over” and “Only by Grace” have given birth to a large array of songs now sung in churches the world over and include well-loved titles such as “Hosanna”, “Over and Over” and the powerful anthem, “I Surrender”.

Well that went without saying, how powerful their Praise & Worship session over at FGA USJ on Tuesday night was. I’m glad I was able to attend it despite having P2 Corporate Reporting the next day LOL!

Well I don’t think words alone could describe the moments with them, nonetheless it was an opportunity not to be missed! Chris and I, armed with our DSLRs set out to capture the memorable moments!

Pastor Matt, one of the lead vocalist, proceeded to deliver God’s message after the P&W. A man filled with humour, he managed to entertain the congregation, which includes fellow IMPACTers as well!

The IMPACTs (formerly known as Youth Fellowship) were all excited about the event, almost the whole IMPACT turned up. Bravo! Being IMPACT, we wouldn’t miss the chance to take photographs with well known people too. w00t!

The Paradise Band albums were on sale at the back of the sanctuary after the service ended. I didn’t get a copy of it though.

Without staying back too long after, Chris and I decided to head home as both of us were pretty exhausted after the whole day having classes. We bidded everyone farewell and raced home thereafter. LOL!

So that concludes our FGA USJ’s Paradise Band experience! =D
