Church Planning Session

On the 17th of October, Deepavali, we had our annual Church Planning Session.

A total of around 30 members were in attendance.
We began at 9.40 although we were scheduled to begin at 9. (inevitably.. we too, have succumbed to Malaysian timing)
We started the event by singing a few songs led by Bro. Richard Lim.

Then we had the opening prayer.
Followed by opening remarks by our elder, Bro. Koay Chuan Lek.

Next, our other elder, Bro. Steven Chan delivered his report on the Membership and Evangelism of the Church in Klang. He showed us many interesting statistics and spoke on the vital areas for improvement concerning our membership and evangelism. He also reminded us of our aspiration to be "A Growing and God Glorifying Church".

After that, Bro. John Quek presented his report on the Ministry of the Church and our new slogan; Involve For God.

Our beloved youth leader, Bro. Khoo Tze Wei, was also asked to give a short talk on the youths involvement in the Ministry of the Church.


Then, it was time for a short break where we got to enjoy the refreshments provided by the ladies' fellowship.

After the break, Bro. Eng Boon reported on the mission field, including the various churches planted all over the world.


Next on the agenda, Bro. Sam Tan spoke about the Sunday School Program and how to improve it in the coming year, when he and a few other families will be leaving to start the new work in Kota Kemuning.

Afterwards, we had lunch at 1.35

After lunch, Bro. Rick Kirk gave a presentation on personal work. He spoke mainly on the effectiveness of the Jule Miller Film strip and how it can be used for evangelism.
We were then separated into 2 groups;

the group discussing evangelism

and the group discussing the ministry of the church

after the discussion, each gave a short presentation and then a session was conducted on which ideas to implement and how to implement them.
This session lasted until around 6.15, when we decided to end the planning session.
After the closing prayer, we stayed back to move all the tables back to Building B and arrange the chairs back to normal... well, almost normal..
Overall, it was an informing and pretty productive planning session. We hope that the new ideas will be implemented and have the desired results.
Remember that we as youths are also part of the church and we should therefore do our part to help the church achieve our goal of being a growing and God glorifying church.

In Christ We Serve,
