okok i feel like blogging about the service today :D (even though i got lots of work to do. sigh. nvm, blog fast fast.)

i loved the service today(: i didn't realise how... not-at-home i felt at the new place until uncle david came and gave me a punch halfway through worship. haha. made me realise that bartley isn't just about the old building, but it's the sum of all the pople inside that forms it. like the video said...

We are Bartley Christian Church

This is who we are. It's not about a building, but it's the people who make up the church. I felt so at home after that (: It's really really very nice to be home once again.

ok(: now about the programmes and stuff. THE BAND WAS AWESOME. ahaha. Aviom rocks my socks. The orchestra was really good too!! Sharon's flute and Grace Teo's violin sounded awesome. (the rest sounded good too, just that i particularly noticed it when these two instruments were solo-ing) And the choir has improved a lot :D i like. hahaha.

I lreally appreciated the song that they sang, which was.. "Find us Faithful"

After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone
And our children sift though all we've left behind
May the clues that they discover and the memories they uncover
Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find

I was like.. uhmm.. semi-crying. ahaha. Ok, not crying per se. More of tearing. I KNOW, it's still very cmi. But aiyah. I suddenly realised the weight that is upon the shoulders of us young people. The older generation has gone before us and left behind a legacy. They have lived through so much more than us, experienced so much more trials and temptations, and come out victorious. And it's just.. staggering. We think we've gone through a lot. but we're only.. what. 20+ max? Could I/we take another 20 years of harder and harder trials, and still come out faithful?

Sometimes I wonder if tm412/Frontline Youth was a stand-alone youth group, would we grow up to be like today's bartley christian church? Would we be able to rise up? Would we answer the call and reach the world around us? Would we eventually grow to become a thousand strong? Or will we just "maintain" the same numbers until we hit our 40s and 50s?

They answered the call.

And so must we.

And so will we(:

Oh yes!! THE DANCE TEAM. They did really fantastic today man!! Last time, dance was just.. dance to me. but today they were really really rocking. hahaha. Ok, besides the awesome dancers (like yimin), the meaning of the dance was there. And the song choice was fantastic too! Dancing to praise him(: I like a lot.

With all the young people rising up to serve God, and a new awesome building with lots and lots of gadgets, I'm pretty excited to see where Bartley will go in the next few years (:
