Popiah Night and "Who is Jesus?"

The Adult Alpha course continued at the home of Seng Chor and Christine last Saturday, 26 July 2008. The title of the talk was "Who is Jesus?"

Anid and Tony came. It was a great time of popiah and fellowship. Our oikos found the talk interesting. Praise the Lord!

Alpha Introduction dinner

(Extacted from Dolly's Email)

Our Growth Group had our first Alpha Course Introduction dinner on Saturday, 19 July 2008.

At first we only had one confirmed oikos... later it turned out to 6 (the last was Yung Ling's friend, Kristen. On the evening itself the friend had a headache and Pei Lu's contact (Mr Chok) also decided not to come. But Anid and Tony came ... I think they were very much at home. Melvin and Melissa were very late (but better late than never!).

Praise the Lord we managed to show Nicky Gumbel's talk on 'Is there more to life?' Let's pray that the Word that has gone forth will be seed sown in their hearts... (Isaiah 55:10-11)

For dinner, we had Fried rice, Hokkien mee, Chicken curry, Mixed vegetables and House of Fishball. For dessert we had water melon & durian tart!

We are thinking of serving different types of cuisine each week (Italian, Indian, Steamboat? BBQ? Nasi lemak, etc) if we can get cooks or sponsors. So you see although you may not be physically present, you can play a part by praying, inviting, cooking, giving, etc.

Raymond's Farewell

Extracted from Dolly's email (with minor modifications) ...

There were altogether 20 of us (including Raymond, his friend and 2 'associate members' i.e. temporarily imported from other Growth Groups & Joel, Jordan & Reuel) at Raymond's farewell on Sunday, 13 July 2008. The dinner was held in Loong Foong (actually not very befitting a Master Chef... oops!) but I guess it was more the fellowship... which continued at the Chans. Raymond shared a bit - he will be leaving for Dubai this Friday, 25 July.


The opportunities to learn and advance (accelerate?) in his culinary expertise are there... Praise the Lord for at least 2 familiar faces there (ex-colleagues).


We had quite an awesome time of prayer! From reminders to persevere to promises that God would make him a fisher of men to a higher level of faith, etc..... (oops sorry, I can't remember but I know they were just wow!!)


Do remember our brother in your prayers.
