the weekend

the past weekend was wonderful. on thursday, met up with ziig to shop for sue-lynn's birthday present at marina square. coincidentally, glenn, estelle, jeanette and sue-lynn were there too!! estelle was suppose to buy jeanette's belated birthday present, but ended up buying nothing. since we hardly meet on a weekday, and it so happened that we were there at the same time, we sat at starbucks for drinks. while we were there, we had lots of things to laugh at about. it's like, once in a blue moon different people coming together and just chill out. was quite a fun night. i hope it happens sometime again...

went for the usual CG on friday night, and then supper-ed with dennis, jasmine and ziig till 2am. man, i was damn shagged, but was good to just sit down, chit chat and spend sometime with my "brother" before he leaves for Perth. thank goodness i wasn't dragged back to work on saturday to clear files. not that i do not want to, but i've got prior commitments already.

camp echo on saturday. not all the campers were present, but the spirit of camp is still there. the circle singspiration thing was fantastic. the youths were really singing out from their heart, despite having only a guitar playing. glenn did a good job in leading and sharing what he been through during the week. captain's ball fellowship worked out well. it was played by level versus level. jeanette suggested that the "old birds" play against the new sec 1s, but it rained and we didn't get to play. lol... food was delicious! and the highlight of the camp echo? the video and photo slideshow. it was so funny that i laughed my tears out. all credits to the video and slideshow go to greg, ziig and dennis. they spent nights doing it and it turned out to be a great form of entertainment. but i do hope that as the youths have watched the footage and photos, they will be remembered of what was done and learnt at the camp. =)

and today, dennis led his last worship at powerhouse. his reminder to us was to keep a lookout for one another, and to remain together as one community. this guy has been through the different stages of the youth ministry. just like what i've been through. we're the only ones still left ever since the youth ministry in HPC started. with him gone, it's now me left. but no worries, powerhouse has just started to be led by youths themselves. i have to learn to let go, and just be a bystander who observes and step in when i need to. the youth ministry finally belongs to the youth.

oh! and i joined my new CG for "orientation" today. we're called SLIGHT - Matt 5:13-14. i can't wait to see what the other CG names the rest came up with. it'll be quite interesting. haha!!

i foresee the coming week to be a tiring one ahead. oh Lord, grant me the strength to take me through it.
