Farewell BBQ

Our expanded CG.

We held our farewell BBQ at Maysprings Condo. It was a wonderful time of cathing-up with past CG mbrs together with present ones. After the worship session, we viewed 2 short clips n collections of photos dated back to ____ years ago when some of our current mbrs started out in the youth gp. But the BBQ was with some interesting events. Read on n u know what i mean.

As we watched the clips in retrospect, although we have grown older, we thank the Lord for His guiding n moulding hand upon each n every single one of us. Through the years, many have joined the CG n left as they reached certain seasons in their lifes. However, one thing tt has kept everyone together was tt of God's faithfulness n the spirit of unity.

The weather was great the whole afternoon. Bright n sunny, we were praying hard tt the weather will sustain. Just as we were preparing to start the fire, it began to drizzle. We decided to wait for a while until the drizzle stops n it did. So we proceded to start the fire. This time, the charcoal provided by the caterer was fantastic. It was much easier to ignite compared to those tt were used last wk. However, just as the fire was burning nicely, it rained. Not only did it rain, it poured! Everyone scrambled to bring the stuff to the basement carpark. Despite this, the fire kept on burning!!! We reached a critical point. A decision had to be made.

We decided tt we will adjourn to Tommy n Jophia's place. Despite not having a BBQ, we improvised n had a special BBQ. Rather than using charcoal which by now was of no use due to the rain, we decided to have stir fry satay, steamed otah n prawns, grilled chicken wings. Sounds healthy compared to BBQ where we will breathe in smoke n having to eat some overcooked food otherwise known as carbon! So with only one car available since MK had to leave, i made 3 trips to ferry everyone.

We carried on with the thanksgiving where the core team mbrs shared n presented their special items. It shared a common theme of thanksgiving n well wishing. Some of u may be wondering what this farewell is all about. Well, as the church moves into a new chapter of discipleship training next year, there will be major reshuffling among groups. Therefore, we had this gathering to look back to the good old days n how the CG has progressed to what it it today.

Before I end, a big thank u to Grace n ST for putting all these together.
