Young Adult Weekend Getaway

Our Young Adults Weekend Getaway was held over the weekends and all of us benefit a lot from all the three sessions. We were spiritually filled, physically filled and of course socially filled. Indeed we had a great fellowship with one another - with all the fun times and laughter.

Our first session was on "How to choose a life partner & What to expect of married life" and it was shared by Archdeacon Solomon Cheong. Since we started late and had our dinner at the canteen, we've decided to start the first session there.

Archdeacon stressed on the importance of choosing a partner of the same faith. He also shared on things that may lead to broken marriages and what to anticipate before getting married.

After the session ended, we had a great experience going up and down the hill going to our villa. There were no street lights and we have to depend on our car lights to move. As soon as we settled down, we had a short briefing by Revd. Alfred after the session on what to reflect on for our devotional on the next day.

The next day started with a blessed rainy day. Some of us actually bath in the rain!! After the personal devotion and group devotion time, we need to stretch a little bit and play some games.

Group 1

Group 2

Group 3

We were asked to invent our own recipe using all the ingredients provided. Well, not that we're literally cooking...it's just on paper.

Once done, we were all asked to present our recipe.

Group 3 : The Cheesy Cranberry Curry

Group 2 : The Jumble Rainbow

Group 1 : Le Salad La Depres

While the presenters are presenting, the group members were busy listening and enjoying the yummy delicious newly invented recipe. Even the kids enjoyed it too! LOL!

After the good laugh, we had our second session with Revd. Dunstan Chua. His message was on "Alone but not lonely". It's on serving God as a young adult/single. We were also asked to list down what are our priorities in life and share our thoughts.

In the afternoon, after lunch we had our short poco-poco session lead by Sis. Shirley Gren. With the good cooling weather and good food, we may fall asleep before the next session starts. That explains why we need to do some "exercise" to enable us to wake up a little bit.

Finally, our last session was conducted by SD Augustine and he shared on Managing your Finance. All our money belongs to God and we are his stewards. Therefore, it is important for us to manage our finance and not to spend beyond our own capacity.

The session ended with a corporate prayer lead by Bro. Bajeng. We also spend some time praying for those in need and Revd. Alfred oficially closed the event with a prayer.

It was indeed a fun and exciting weekend for us and surely this will not be the only one. Hopefully, by God's grace we will have more people joining us for the next sessions.
