Leading music for Titchie chapel
The latest Pittman newsletter is packed with inspiring music stories!
One of the highlights is Heather’s new role at Rift Valley Academy (RVA), where she was recently invited to lead music for the weekly Titchie chapel services. Working closely with the Head of Titchie Spiritual Life, Heather selects songs that complement each chapel message, aiming to make worship a meaningful experience for the younger students.
At RVA, “Titchie” is the affectionate term for the elementary school, and this year, they’ve introduced an impactful Christ-centered classroom management program called Honorable Character. Each week, Titchie chapel explores a different Honorable Character trait, examining what the Bible says about virtues like kindness, initiative, and orderliness.
By mid-October, the chapel focus was on kindness. Some of these character traits, like initiative or orderliness, may be challenging to pair with Christian music, so the Pittman missionaries request prayer support: “Please pray for Heather to find songs that convey the Bible’s teachings on these important traits.”
The first half of the term was eventful for the Titchies! The students had the opportunity to lead a Sunday service, where they shared prayers, introduced the congregation to the unreached people groups (UPGs) they’ve been praying for, and led worship songs. Heather played a key role in guiding the children’s singing for this service. According to the Pittmans, the service ended with a truly special moment as the Titchies led the song “My Lighthouse.”
In a memorable display of unity, several junior high and high school students spontaneously joined the Titchies at the front of the chapel to sing along and do the song’s motions. The Pittmans described it as “an amazing display of the trust these kids have in Jesus, our lighthouse!”
