Connecting to God
Hey SOYMILK,
Had a great time at cell group yesterday! Our first cell of the new year was really large. About 21 people! Glad most of you all could make it. Well, here's the update so that Candice, Grace, Irvin and Kong Jo will know what we were up to.
Cell group was held at Evangeline's place. As usual, we mingled around, talked about our week, made chayen, played the guitar...etc. I guess this is what helps us to bond. We had guests for cell namely, Jesmine, Landice, Mervin (not that new), and Si Ming. Really thank God for SOYMILK's growth in numbers.
Cell started with accountability time. You remember the sharing sessions of our week that we had? Well, Daniel modified it a little. Instead of sharing about our own week, we helped others share it. We all wrote down the stuff that happened during our week and what we were thankful for. Then we exchanged what we wrote, and read each others notes.
There were more changes to cell as we carried on. We sang songs. And then we had a time of reflection to prepare our hearts. I think it's a good change from all the bustle of the world. After that time of silence, we continued to praise God.
Aaron did the lesson. And this marks the end of the Rob Bell era. Lol. Aaron shared about how his friend struggles to find God and feels like God has abandoned him. We had time to reflect on the sharing. Then we split into groups and discussed about the sharing. I'm sure everyone gained something new during the sharing.
Some of us had a time of meditation while waiting for one of the groups to finish. When everyone adjourned, we had accountability time 2. We wrote our prayer needs down on paper. Then we randomly picked another person's needs up. And we prayed for their needs as well as our's.
We ended by assigning roles for the next cell group and we sang two songs.
After cell, we had dinner. Really have to thank Aunty Ai Cheng, Aaron and Evangeline for preparing the food and being such good hosts. We all got to try making popiah. Then we just chatted with each other, sang songs... basically fellowshipped :)
