Fellowship

Arthur (from Grace Church) is here for 2 weeks and we met up for fellowship today. I really enjoyed the time when we just sat down and shared about our struggles & challenges and prayed for each other. I missed this time of fellowship... and I missed Lawying, Maureen and all of you in cell group.

Well, but it's ok. Boen will be here next week so we can have some form of fellowship again! :)

We went to the church at King's Cross today coz there is no service at Soho. The sermon today reminded me that I need to be more courageous and look out for opportunities to share the gospel with my housemates... I always feel shy about it... but there is really much more that I can do for them...

It's the first time I attended the Mandarin service at King's Cross (I used to attend the Cantonese service) and I see how young the congregation is. Grace Church is really blessed with talents in comparison. I see that this church lacks pianist, worship leaders and also pastors - basically people who can and who wants to serve. Kenneth suggested that I help out as the pianist... but it sets me wondering whether one should attend a church that can minister to him, or a church where he is needed. Of course, one can be ministered as one serves and also, one should not be selfish and should try to contribute to one's church, but I also feel that there is something not right if one goes to a church merely out of responsibility.

Having spent much of my past years teaching sunday school and serving in student fellowship, I am actually looking forward to a year of rest... to attend sunday school again and to grow in Christ... and I think these can help me serve more effectively when I am back in Grace Church. I guess, Soho church is the place where I can enjoy this. But, I think I should still pray about it. If indeed God puts a burden in my heart to serve at King's Cross, I will go... at the end of the day, I believe God has His plans and I will just follow His guidance. :)
