Parent Youth Combined Meeting - 19 Dec 2007

It's been a long time but we're finally back at it once more, and with lots of new faces too. Welcome to those who are new to our ministry. Thanks to all those who made an effort to come down.

The venue was Uncle Francis' house. We started punctually at 7.45 pm, with a bunch of carols. The spirited singing was followed by 2 games. Sometimes as the host you do not really get to know how fun the games actually are.

We first broke up into 2 teams, one consisting of the adults (by no order of merit) : Pastor Peter, Esther, Bruce, Samuel, Monica, Francis, Jessica and Jiahao, and one consisting of the youths : Dorcas, Abner, JoyAnn, Lydia, Carissa, Racheal, Davy and Darius.

We first tried out spelling words backwards. This tough task was made all the more difficult when we made 1 member of each team were required to step up in a 1v1 setting against 1 member of the other team. With the help of Justin in the judging, we went through a list of words. The final scores showed the adults team leading by 2points at the end of the game.

We then carried on with the second game. The new challenge was to guess a word by getting clues by asking questions. Teams took turns to ask questions until the word was able to be guessed. To describe what happended would take a very long time, so we will just roll on to the result.

After the total scores of the 2 games were combined, the final score was that the team of adults won, in an extremely close fight.

We moved on to the interview session. An exciting discussion began, covering everything from memorable moments, to classroom situations, to teachers, to friends, to CCAs, and so on. Lots of advise, lots of fun memories, lots of personal views of how to deal with many different situations.

We also dug into the food that was laid out, an excellent spread.

I thank all those who have contributed in one way or another, for opening their home to welcome this meeting, for putting in effort to buy and prepare the food, for participating so openly, and even just for coming and adding to the atmosphere.

I enjoyed every moment of this event, and look forward to the many more that are ahead. I really wish you came, don't you?
