Episode 1: Episode 1

Woot, I get the honors in being the first one to post in the CF blog =)

 As planned, we had our first Christian Fellowship meeting on Friday 11/7/08. Yesterday, to be exact. For ages we've been planning it and waiting for the right time to start it. FINALLY, it came into being.

Yeah, we were late and all. But so what? At least about 15 of us went to Abigail's house for CF and as we all got there, I took a quick glance of the faces in that room. Some of them were familiar....YEA RIGHT. Lawl, ALL of them were familiar. Including the cute little tiny miniscule petite micro From 1's X]. These were the people whom I now know, have a desire to come and meet with fellow Christians for a time of fellowship and discovering God. 

The meeting started off with a brief introduction to who we were, what church we attended and how old we were. That aside, then came the icebreaker. This is where I would like to sadly admit that we are a pathetic bunch of jokers who can't even keep a simple beat up and think fast. Hui Ling's "Think-fast-and-say-it" game made us look like complete fools. In a good way though. Everyone was smiling, not because the game went well of whatever, rather, at the utter stupidity of each other =0). We are the epitome of SLOW I tell you. With all honesty, the game was killer. In the sense that, it was impossible to have the flow of the game on for more than 3 turns.

Next was worship. I had prepared just 3 songs which were We Fall Down, Beautiful Saviour and My Redeemer Lives. I said a prayer to prepare our hearts to worship God and thanked Him for letting us meet however few people there were. I have to say that it went well and everyone was enjoying themselves one way or another ( I guess ) XD. For My Redeemer Lives, I decided to teach them something new for the chorus. No one really got it, but as the song was being sung, it just sorta came together and sounded nice =).

After worship, the most peculiar incident took place. We were all smiling and happy that we sang a song of declaration that OUR Redeemer lives. Suddenly Eugene decided that he wanted to bring us all down to a meditative pace. Awkward glances were exchanged during his "inspiring words". After that, we shared a bit and I said a few words on how I would like to see the CF expand and bringing in PRE-believers. I'm not gonna say NON-believers, rather PRE. =). Anyway, we then prayed for a few things and Madeline being one of them with her conjunctivitis. Such sadness when I thought about it. She really wanted to be there for the first meeting and then her eye made her unable to come. Pooh, there's always a next time =)

The meeting ended well and the leaders stayed back for a meeting and something light to eat. My conclusion? The meeting went well. And I'm sure it will be better and better as the weeks come. BUT, we need another meeting. Seriously XD
