Summary of My Hope Project

Blessed Christmas to All! =)

Last Saturday was great! I think we all had a lot of fun eating, playing games, watching the DVD testimonial and singing carols. Thank you all for your hard work in the preparation.

Thanks to Serene and Yi Xian for helping to book the function room, making the "Merry X'mas" words, ordering and picking up the food and the cake. Thanks to Kenny for preparing the games and prizes. Thanks to Sharon and Yeng Wei for coming early to set up, blowing the balloons and coming up with the idea of putting the gift exchange numbers inside the balloons and for inviting Peishi. Thanks to Jonathan for being a great host for the Win, Lose, or Draw and for inviting Gerin and Jasmine. Thanks to Susan for bringing the projector and setting it up. Thanks to Paul for inviting Norman, for setting up, and for helping me with the door gifts and playing the guitar for our carolling session. And thanks to Serene's parents for the yummy chicken curry and kueh kueh!

I think the party was a great success! Although we did not manage to bring as many friends as we would have liked to, we have created a precedent for us to work on for the future. This does not need to be a Christmas affair only, as and when we bring pre-Christians to church/cell, we can also show the video. I think the videos were very touching and a few people have asked me for copies of it.

I also believe that God will work in the hearts of those who came, whether they need to accept Jesus as their personal Saviour, or to rededicate their lives to Jesus. And He will also work in the hearts of those who did not accept our invitation and we must persevere to invite them again for future activities.

We should follow up with an outing, Serene suggested cycling at ECP. Any opinions?

Also, do invite your friends to our Christmas service on Christmas Day at 10am in church.

Lastly, anyone want to go for watchnight service?
