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.

YCF - Pizza Making

On the night of October the 3rd..The day the Chinese celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival, better known as the Mooncake festival, We had our Youth Christian Fellowship.
This time, we had our quarterly dinner too. We decided to try our hand at making Pizzas!!
Some of the youths arrived early.
Others.... well... they came later. When i mean later, i mean close to 1 and a half hours late. Yes.
The YCF was scheduled to begin at 4:30pm. We ended up starting at 6:oopm.
Btw, we were joined by 2 visitors that day. Din Shan and Julien and our brother from DU, bro Patrick!

Hah! I have proof!

But anyways, Bro Joel Kirk, one of the earlier youths, helped prepare the dough which the youths were going to use for the pizza making. He was helped out by our Bro Ern Shern, Jae Wen and his friend Din Shan.

Making the dough

Trusty slaves helpers.

The other youths, helped arrange the tables and set up the ovens.



While others.. well.. they did their own stuff.


Then came the rest of the youths and we began our meeting. There was singing before the devotion led by our very own Bro Bryant Lee.

Sorry bout the blur pic.

The devotion speaker for the day was Bro Joshua Chong. His devotion was specifically for the female youths. But im sure we all took home some knowledge from it.


After the devotion, it was time for the fun part. The pizza making.
All the youths gathered around bro Joel as he demonstrated the art of making pizzas.

Look at their curious faces. All wanting to learn. Except Bryant who isn't paying attention.

After the demonstration and the pizza tasting, the youths rolled back their sleeves, tied up their hair and immediately started work. There was a lot dough. So if someones dough get messed up while going through the process, he or she could easily get another dollop of dough to mess up. xD Some made some really adventurous pizzas and some... well... adventurous but total failure. Some used their wild imagination, while some... well.. tried to act pro and messed their dough up.

Everyone of us sure enjoyed ourselves.

After the gruelling process of flattening, rounding and making the pizza look like pizza, we of course indulged in them and savoured every single crumb of it.

The camera man was fortunate enough to get nice macro shots of slices of pizza. And boy does those look good!~


After the making and the eating of the pizzas, we of course cleaned up. Even little Su Yen helped. How kind~ =)

After everything was cleaned, the chairs were arranged back to their rows, the ovens cleaned, the trays cleaned, the floors mopped, the tables put back where it belongs and doing the other stuff, we all sat back and relaxed. We were all stuffed with cheese, dough, tomato paste and mango juice. Boy was it a fun and satisfying night!

Would like to specially thank bro Joel for helping to make the dough and to help demonstrate the pizza making process. He also created one nice looking pizza.

And also bro Joshua for the devotion and bro Tze Wei for planning the YCF successfully.

To those who missed this wonderful night. You sure missed a lot. Be sure to attend the next YCF -Quarterly Dinner! We guarantee you will not regret.

see. She looks happy. xD

In Christ we serve,
