We had a meeting with the children ministry planners.
It is really honourable for this couple to offer themselves
for God's service in this way.
Their lives revolve around including God in their plans.
They relocate nearer church to facilitate zero traveling
Noah got to come to the PPH-ark instead.
A little bird told us we are welcome to use their home when they move in.
Great.We shall gate crash cos I have not received an official invitation yet
I guess for years the church have grouped the pri 5&6s with the Children ministry.
Traditionally Sec 1 means change school,change uniform, a little more freedom
and promo to Youth Ministry. That was convenient. That was acceptable and could be done. But like gorezillion yrs ago. (youthful lingo haw)
Look at the kids
this millenniumThey mature faster, are better informed, better wired ubber high tec
and more ...arrogant? cos really they know alot
So our fellow workers might be right after all
pri 5&6 may be a good age to break and form a separate cohort
Well my initial 'selfish thought' is that youths in YF are already spread very thin.
My survivor instinct at work. or maternal instinct. Whatever. anything.
I am grateful that many youths are already serving in their best capacity.
Well I got a
reminder from God as I read Acts2:42-47 the sermon passage on "Fellowship is not about potluck"
I missed Albert Lee's sermon today cos I accompanied Mattias to class.
My lord ah Beng said Albert gave a good msg and was not himself today. Albert was very serious. This I got to hear. You see Albert is a real foodie as evidenced by his XXL for years.He said he knows where to get all the best food.Where Albert is there is food to quote my friend who used to work with him. A well fed man is a funny man.
Back to Acts2The Christians in Jerusalem shared all they had so that all could benefit from God;s blessings. Sometimes having lots of money and possessions can tempt people to isolate themselves from others, each enjoying his or her own little piece of the world. But as part of God's spiritual family, we have a responsibility to help one another in every way possible. God's family works best when its members work together.
I have to listen to Albert's msg on the web this week.
Meanwhile I shall pray that God will bless Pam and Alvin and Sylvia's efforts
and show them the best way to pursue God's heart.
Logically speaking this foundation work, tilling and plowing will benefit the YF as they cross over.
That's my worldly thinking. Good9t
