Annual General Meeting 2009

Since the parish hall is currently under major construction we had our AGM in the church this year. Unlike any other years, we started the meeting at 1.30pm instead of 11.00am. We have representatives from the various centres and ministries and indeed we received an overwhelming response this year. We pray that God will continue to touch the hearts of our young people to serve Him.

The praise and worship was led by Zara, together with the teenz group. It's a good opportunity for them to be exposed to worship leading and build up their confidence in leading worship.

Ven. Solomon Cheong has always been supportive towards the work of the youths. We are also blessed that members of the PCC, Uncle Edwin & Subdeacon Augustine gave their full support and also assures us that PCC is always at the back of the Youths and that surely encourage us to organize events to cater the needs of our young people in the church.

Indeed we had a great time of fellowship with one another. Before the representatives from the various ministries present their report, we were given some motivation and inspiration from Ven. Solomon - our patron, Bro. Tommy Voon - our youth advisor and Bro. Bajeng - our chairman.

Ven. Solomon emphasizes on our theme which is "Stand up! Stand Out! Stand Firm!" and tells us the importance of being firm in our faith. He quoted some examples and tells us stories which I'm sure everyone could learn from it.

Bro. Tommy encourages us with the five characters of a youth leader.
1. Put God as the centre in our heart
2. Have a servant heart
3. Have big shoulder - be concern about one another
4. Have a sense of responsibility
5. Have a positive attitude

Whereas our Chairman kept his message simple by quoting 1 Timothy 4:12-13. He encouraged and challenged all the young people to serve God, where God has given everyone the gift or talent and how can we contribute to the ministry of God by using our talent. On top of that, he reminded us to always have a servant heart.

Overall, it was a wonderful fellowship.
