Easter Celebration

Overall, the event went well.
Though it was light raining and thus, we all - the forty of us - had to stay in the room (which made it quite crowded), everything was going alright. Praise God! Although some came without registration before, which at first made us quite surprised, because we didn't prepare so much. But in the end, still, everything was enough! PTL!

Started with singing songs and followed by a short talk by Fr. Luigi [from Italy]. Thanks to Huang Lao shi too for translating it into Chinese, for the Chinese speaking students.
Also, to Fr. Pras who led us in prayer before the lunch.

The lunch box that we ordered was just enough. Exactly enough! Praise God! We ordered 42 lunch boxes by the way. hehe.
Thanks also goes to Fr. Paskal and Damas(c)us. Fr. Paskal for coming and bringing the tart cake made by Damas(c)us. We saved money, yeay!

Next was the game session. It didn't turn up as how it was expected to be (one is because of the rain) but it still was going well. Thanks to Alix and BK for the ideas and leading the session. =) [I am really happy to see them excited when preparing the game:P]

After the game, it was singing songs again. This time we sang "With Christ in the Vessel". It was so enjoyable and funny! One was because there was action for the song and another was because there were parts of the song that were not to be sung, but the guys and the girls had to replace it with another words, like.. Guys: "huu.." ; Girls: "hey.." It was really funny! Thanks to Adalene for leading the song. =) The people were also supportive ^^,. They weren't so shy as how Asian usually are =P

The money collected today is not bad, too. By God's grace, although we still need to cover some costs, but it is not as much as what we may have imagined before. [He will make away, when there seems to be no way..].

Besides, we were also 'celebrating' those whose birthdays are in March and April. There is quite a number of them. =)

Not to forget, a BIG thank goes to Sr. Valentine for willingly lent us the Sister's place and helping us from planning, preparing til the event itself.

I hope the message of this Easter could reach everyone of them and they will open their hearts to Christ.

God bless,
