It's Sunday today and I finally got to go to Faith Community Church. Lucky me, got to know so many people even before I went to the church for Sunday Service. Yeah... so wasn't so bad after all. Not a total stranger and don't feel weird there. Good thing that many of the people from Murdoch U also worships there. Got to meet some of my ACJC schoolmates whom I never had the chance to meet when I was there....ha ha! Went for the 11pm service. Started with a really good session of worship. All the songs we sang, most of them I know and they style of worship is quite similar back home so I had a great time worshipping. This was followed by some short announcements and welcoming new comers, well I stood up and they all clapped warmly for me before handing me an envelope with some stuff inside. There's like a magnet with their church imprint and some other information brochure I think. Next, we had a really good sermon by Pastor Benny Ho. He preached on the Holy Communion today and how we should approach it. His preaching is really clear and amusing at times. It ended with a time for response before we had holy communion. The sanctuary is more of a comtemporary kind with just a simple stage so the holy communion is being passed around. We had to like peel a small piece of bread as it was passed around by the stewards. Other than that, not much difference.
In all, I find the church to be one that is qite similar back home. The style of worship and the order of worship are all very similar. Also, there's like a younger congregation and the cell group's really good too. It can just be the church for me.
After church, the whole bunch of us drove in several cars down to this place called CHIN'S NOODLE HOUSE to have lunch. You would have known from the name is a chinese restaurant. We had fried rice, vegetables, beef, lamb, chicken and tofu. Quite a bit of food and not really expensive too. It is kind like a restaurant place and each of us paid about $9 for it only. Had a good chinese meal and of course, the company's great. As usual, got some pics for you guys. Just look at the clouds, the weather is really nicer here today. Neither too hot nor too cold. A real good balance, like having air conditioning all over the place.....ha ha! And the clouds, though they sure look like it is out of some nicely crafted movie scene, they are real, ALL REAL! Will never get that in Singapore though! God's creation is really beautiful! Cheers mates!
