「利未人耶書亞、甲篾、巴尼、哈沙尼、示利比、荷第雅、示巴尼、毗他希雅說：你們要站起來稱頌耶和華─你們的神，永世無盡。耶和華啊，你榮耀之名是應當稱頌的！超乎一切稱頌和讚美。」(尼希米記 9:5)

在舊約中，利未人被揀選，站立在神面前，獻上祭物、服事會幕，並用音樂讚美神（代上23:5）。其中許多利未人被分派為聖樂事奉者，他們不僅演奏樂器，更帶領會眾頌讚耶和華。這是神眼中神聖的職分。

新約時代，凡信主之人皆為「君尊的祭司」（彼前2:9），得以向神獻上「頌讚的祭」，就是那承認主名之人嘴唇的果子（來13:15）。

今日的詩班，雖非舊約獻祭的祭司，卻仍肩負屬靈的職責：他們以音樂獻祭，引導會眾向神獻上合一的敬拜。他們不是舞台上的表演者，而是聖殿中的事奉者，獻上生命與聲音，榮耀神的聖名。

如果你的教會蒙神賜福，設有詩班，我們為此感恩！

親愛的詩班成員、音樂事奉者：

在教會歷史中，詩班一直是群體敬拜的重要部分。透過合一的歌聲，會眾得以被引領進入更深的敬拜，榮耀歸於神。雖然今日許多教會在詩班事奉上面對不同挑戰，但我們相信，詩班仍是神所賜下的寶貴屬靈產業，值得被珍惜與延續。

因此，我們誠摯邀請您和您的教會詩班，參與2025年底的《利未祭》。

在這場聚會中：

• 各教會詩班將獻唱所珍愛的詩班詩歌，彼此分享恩典與激勵。

• 這將是一個彼此勉勵、互相支持的屬靈時刻，提醒我們詩班的歌聲是合一的敬拜獻祭。

• 讓我們一同藉著詩歌讚美，見證神的榮耀，並延續聖樂的美好傳統。
  
  

我們盼望透過這次聚會：

• 彼此勉勵：讓詩班員在事奉中同得支持與喜樂。

• 尊榮事奉：肯定詩班在教會崇拜中的獨特屬靈職分，感謝他們的委身與付出。

• 珍惜傳承：提醒教會群體敬拜的異象與價值，使詩班的事奉重新受到重視。

• 榮耀主名：以詩歌與聖道高舉基督的名，見證合一敬拜的榮美。
  
  

願我們如同舊約時代利未人一樣，一同獻上合一的頌讚，讓神的榮耀再次充滿祂的殿。

我們真誠邀請您與您的詩班參與，
一同歌唱、一同敬拜、一同榮耀我們的主。

對象邀請： 各教會詩班、音樂事奉者、牧者領袖、渴慕真實敬拜的信徒

And the Levites — Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah and Pethahiah — said: “Stand up and praise the Lord your God, who is from everlasting to everlasting.” “Blessed be your glorious name, and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise.” (Nehemiah 9:5)

In the Old Testament, the Levites were chosen to stand before God, offer sacrifices, serve in the tabernacle, and minister with music (1 Chronicles 23:5). Many of them were appointed to lead in sacred music — not merely as musicians, but as ministers leading the congregation in praise. This was a holy calling in the eyes of God.

In the New Testament, all who believe are called "a royal priesthood" (1 Peter 2:9), and are invited to offer up "a sacrifice of praise," the fruit of lips that confess His name (Hebrews 13:15).

Today’s church choirs, though not Levitical priests, still carry a spiritual duty: They offer musical sacrifices, leading the congregation in united worship. They are not performers on stage, but ministers in the sanctuary —
dedicating their voices and hearts as a living offering to the glory of God.

If your church is blessed with a choir, we give thanks to God! 

Dear Choir Members and Music Ministers,

Throughout church history, choirs have been an integral part of corporate worship. Through singing in unity, congregations are led into deeper worship, and all glory is given to God. Although many churches today face various challenges in sustaining choir ministry, we believe that choirs remain a precious spiritual gift from God, worthy of being cherished and sustained.

Therefore, we sincerely invite you and your church choir to participate in “The Sacrifice” at the end of 2025.

During this gathering:

• Each participating choir will present their cherished choir hymns, sharing grace and encouragement with one another.

• It will be a spiritually uplifting moment of mutual exhortation and support, reminding us that the voices of the choir are an offering of united worship.

• Together, through song, we will glorify God and continue the beautiful tradition of sacred music.
  
  

Through this event, we hope to:

• Encourage One Another: Choir members gain support and joy in their service.

• Honor Service: Recognize the unique spiritual role of choirs in church worship, appreciating their dedication and commitment.

• Cherish Heritage: Remind the church of the vision and value of corporate worship, ensuring choir ministry is respected and valued.

• Glorify the Lord: Lift Christ’s name through song and the Word, witnessing the beauty of unified worship.
  
  

May we, like the Levites of the Old Testament, offer united praise together, allowing God’s glory to fill His house once again.

We warmly invite you and your choir to join us—singing together, worshiping together, and honoring our Lord together.
