Monthly Youth Fellowship

Introducing….St. Columba's Monthly Youth Fellowship!

We had our first monthly Youth Fellowship on 25th February 2012 at St. Columba’s Parish Hall.

There were about 20+ youths that came that night. We’re hoping that this fellowship will be able to gather the youths together and create a stronger bond with each other as well as getting to know their Creator!

We will be having Youth Fellowship on a monthly basis on every 3^rd Saturday of the month.

All youths are welcome to join this fellowship!

Here are some pictures…Enjoy!

AYC Committee Yearly Retreat

The AYC committee went for our annual retreat on 19th February 2012. This year, we had a day retreat at Uncle Hollis’s Lodge. Uncle Hollis was very generous to offer his lodge for our retreat. A big thank you to him and his family! :)

The lodge is situated at Sungai Rait, not far from the Soon Hup Farm. We had a great time away from the city surrounded with lots of greenery and a place that have a “kampung” feel to it. It’s refreshing! Our sessions were led by Ven. Solomon Cheong, Revd. Alfred and our advisor Bro. Derek. Topics that were discussed are mainly about serving the ministry and what are our challenges we faced in this ministry. Looking back, AYC has gone a looonng way back and have gone through many ups and downs. We hope & pray that this ministry will continue to persevere and stand strong especially in this generation where we need to stand out, be the salt and light amongst the distractions, challenges and issues that are faced by the youths in our community today. We ended our sessions with an evening prayer and having the sunset as our backdrop was something pretty awesome and thereafter we had a sumptuous meal prepared by the MASCM (Miri Anglican Senior Citizen Ministry), whom had accompanied us. It was absolutely delicious! And the dinner fellowship was a priceless moment…two generations gathering together and spending time together! Here are our pictures to share:
