Our Church has moved!

We have moved! After 43 years in the old premise, the church has finally found a new home. Sunday night our first service at our new place...there has been a flurry of activities the last few month...the renovation, putting up the fixtures, musical instruments, in short making sure at least most of the things work before the Dedication Day. Not forgetting too the last few years that we waited for the OC even though the buildings had been completed and also a few more hiccups along the way...delivering of the title deed, being one of them. It was indeed a test of patience and also trusting that everything will fall into place in His time. Rev Hwa Yung will be coming for the Dedication Service.Other half, son and I have been working on the presentation for the Dedication. Will be doing it using Keynote on my MacBook. First time using it. On Merdeka Day, we spent the whole day working on it and managed to come up with the first 4 minutes of it. I would work on the storyline, son on the pics and other half on the presentation itself. The next day we came out with the other 4 minutes. It's been a while since we worked on a project like this.....and we're still working on the finishing touches. Will try to convert it into flv and put it up on YouTube after the Dedication. Who knows...it may be useful as a historical source in future.... 8) That's the history buff in me talking!

Putting the history together I must say is easier for us because of the groundwork done by the Chinese congregation....they did a research for their recent anniversary celebrations! Nevertheless, being planted here from elsewhere meant we had to depend on those who were here before us to fill the gap...finding the right photos presented a challenge. Same for coming up with the storyline and pictures too.This was our first Sunday service...it's sort of a 'run' before the big day. And Sunday, being Merdeka Day, we ended our worship service by singing Sejahtera Malaysia, with the waving of the flag. The singing was with real gusto too....we do love our country!

Anyway, it's always good to work together...be it as a church or as in a smaller unit like the family.

Thanks to your family for your hard work preparing for the presentation. We appreciate that. So sorry we can't help. Just getting ready to sit back and watch.
