okayokay the much awaited church camp day 02 and 04!
im going to post them all on one post cause the next one is for pictures:D
hahahaha okay anyway CHURCHCAMP DAY02
hmm okay basically woke up, ate breakfast, etcetc... then went to the ballroom for a meaningful worship led by the youths!
as in auggiejohnesther:D
after that was themetalk02. the message was clear, the topic was 'the presence of God to live in'
it focused on two questions asked by saul/paul during his conversion
(you know the one where he saw the light on the way to Damascus? yeah that one)
he asked "who are you Lord", and "what shall i do, Lord" and tells us that we need a freash new encounter with God
this really spoke to me cause im a second-gerneration christian, which means that i actually dont really have that personal encounter with God. so yeah sometimes i actually wonder if its just a ritual for me to go to church on sundays and stuff
anyway after that we watched a movie called 'facing the giants'. it was quite touching even thought the first part was quite boring:D
it was to tell us that if we trust in the Lord, then everything is possible
after that was lunch then the four-hour free time!
hmm we went to play tennis but the courts were so sandy and uneven i didnt have much fun:(
but i guess it was still okay:D hahaha.
esthercharisjoshuajoshuajamesjeremy came down to play too. but at different times of course
(as in the boys came down after the girls left. you know that kind of thing)
james broke his glasses while playing. he became quite a blind soul after that:D
poor guy -shakes head
dinner after that, followed by worship led by the same people:D
then it was envisioning by Pastor Jimmy
as what auggie previously mentioned, it really woke everyone up from their so-called 'daydream'
being ohso frank and blunt, he pointed out that the church is doing little to bring more people to Christ. we are just sitting comfortably where we are, making few efforts to reach out.
which i suppose is quite true, the church increased in size because of transfer membership, not new believers
so it really shook everyone and i believe that everyone will now try to make an effort to reach out to others:D
yadeleeedeedoooo CHURCHCAMP DAY04
the days really pass by super fast during camp, i think its because we were having too much fun:D
the fellowship was grreeaaattt:D
okay the normal procedure as usual, woke up, breakfast...
and worship was led by the same people that i mentioned before:D as in the youths luhhh!
the themetalk04 was about the priorities of God to live out. we need to believe in God, hear him and declare his Word for him.
but the thing that touched me most during this themetalk was that he asked the deacons and leaders of the church to go up and pray for the church, and the church to pray for the deacons.
followed by that the whole church held hands in a circle and sang the song 'One Voice', which maqde me feel the unity of the whole church:D
and trust me, its a really gooood feeling.
lunch then free time again:D
apparently the tuition business has no business cause everyone was out playing and having fun.
its church camp mansss! who wants to study? hahahah
went for a refreshing swim, most of the kiddos and youths were there:D had a great time just fellowshipping with some of the younger kids whom i havent talked to ever since i went out of junior worship
a great time to catch up:D
and a great time to splash people:D hahahahha
then bathed, dinner, worship (this time led by william), then CELEBRATION NIGHTTT!
this celebration night had no performances, but just alot of sharing.
ohohohoh but the cute little kids performed! i have a video somewhere i'll post it up later:D
anyway i think most of the youths were raring to go up and dance with them yeah? i know charis and i were jumping up and down with them:D
makes you feel young and rejuvenated (not that im not, but...)
hahahah:D
then some sharings by hauryueh's mom, uncle john, aunty candida, uncle kimheng(my dad!) and aunty kiasok
