Youth meeting 8 Jul - What is Christianity to me

We had an enjoyable time, with food and fellowship during our youth meeting on Sunday, 8 July. A total of 9 people were present, 4 youths (I still count myself youth haha) 3 adults, and 2 soon to be youth.

The meeting place was a last minute decision, when we decided to proceed to Delifrance, Chinatown Point. It was an excellent setting for just a good meal and a good chat. Thank God for providing us an ideal place.

After everyone made it there, we ordered our meal. When the food arrived, we 'officially' started our youth meeting with prayer and thanks for the food. Then, we ate!!

After the main courses, we decided to have a game of 'I never'. We had a really fun time of sharing about each others' experiences. With the final sharing resulting in probably the best laugh of the day, eating cooked insects. (You've got to join us more to enjoy the really good laughs we have, it's worth it)

After our desert, we proceeded on to life sharing by our invited guests, the Tan family. Aunty Jessica began first, telling us about her life, from conversion till commitment. That was followed by Uncle Francis, on the same topic. They both gave exciting and enriching accounts of their lives, certainly engaging the audience and leaving them wanting more.

Finally, we closed with some sharing from the floor before we closed with a word of prayer. With the sky looking threatening as we left the restraunt, we then parted ways for our own homes.

Word of thanks to all those present for the youth meeting, specially making time to be present. For those who could not make it, you've got to come next time, the laughs we have are well worth it. Thanks also for the lunch treat (For the one paying of course).

Most importantly, thanks to God for once again being present, sharing in our joys and sorrows throughout this journey called life. Thanks also for the meeting place, for a time we never knew where we would go for the meeting. I also thank God that He has placed in my life people, mentors whom I can model my life after, who are really such an encouragement.

Next youth meeting: More outdoor fun as we are going treasure hunting in the botanical gardens. Do join us.
