Hellos! (: Today was basically a dull day. When we were heading towards Tuas, there was a super long jam. Our bus took a very long time to reach Tuas. That’s why we reached the campsite at about 2.30p.m. Most of us were “stoning” or meditating in the bus. Haha. We had lunch at, I’m not sure where actually, some random restaurant I think. Haha. The food was not bad. (:
We reached. Finally. After millions of years. YAY! haha. Alvin, the camp commander gave us our room keys and all of us headed back to our rooms to take a short rest. Later at about 3 plus, we had a briefing and an ice breaking game. We had to write our names on to vanguard sheets of paper and place it on the mahjong paper. It’s like doing up a crossword puzzle consisting of all our group names. They all have to make sense though. So it isn’t as easy as you think. Many groups strived hard and tried their best to succeed though we knew it was not possible to fit our full names in. :D In the end, GROUP ONE WON!! *claps* By the way, I was in that group. Haha. It was kind of funny how we won though. We shorten all their names, and some even had their names changed. Uncle Kenneth became Ken. Uncle Thiam Chong had a new name: Ash, so that we could fit in all the names into the crossword puzzle. We had great fun though.
DINNER TIME! The food was great. I believe dinner was the highlight of the day for some. Haha. Then came WORSHIP TIME! The worship team included William, Justin and Aunty Jessica. They led us into a time of praise and meditation. Everyone enjoyed the worship. Sermon time came. At first, most of us dreaded sermon, but it didn’t turn out to be as boring as we thought. Rev. Tony Yeo talked about the
Four critical keys in knowing where we are heading. (Luke 24: 44-49)
A. A single Master to follow (v 44-45)
B. An essential Message to proclaim (v 46-47)
C. A vital Mission to do (v 47-48)
D. A divine Means (v 49)
otherwise known as the 4 'm's.
Personally I found it quite meaningful because now we know we have to live a God-Purpose Driven Life. We were supposed to have a discussion about the sermon but due to time constrain, we had to go back and rest. Most of us sleep early that night, I think. Church camp has been fun though it’s only the first day and we’re already missing the people who couldn’t come! Haha. (:
