First Ever MSG (Monthly Saturday Gathering) in 2010 Saturday, January 16, 2010 10:24 PM

I had to babysit my youngest sister while my parents had their bible study. Well, my youngest sister can be quite a handful but it beats doing nothing.

Anyway that is not my point.
Today is the first ever MSG (Monthly Saturday Gathering) in 2010.
Awesome!
I like the fact that I get to hang out with my fellow church friends, more bonding time and something that get me out of my house.
The characters of the Christmas skit came alive today. I meant that Ashely and Melissa opened the MSG with another skit. It is good that a character that was made up by my group, Tushiyah, was remembered even after the christmas skit which was long over (okay lah not that long, but come to think of it, it happened LAST YEAR)
The program started off with the game of whacko.
A twist was added, which was the one that is in the middle was supposed to wear a chicken mask.
That is something I will not look forward to do. I think others have the same thought as me, as everyone tried their best to keep themselves “safe” and not get whacked.
What I find enjoyable was that some while calling out the name of the next victim, also pointed somewhere else and tried to misled the whacker. This make the person in the middle very confused as they just follow the hand signs.
So make sure to listen and not just blindly follow the actions of the others.

Alynna led the group into worship, yeah you go girl!
Upon saying this Annabelle would question, “Go where?”
Okay, let me rephrase, you rock Alynna!!!

So after the songs, we played another game named “Mmmm, what you say?” It is goes like this, the MCs will give a theme and all the player had to do was just to say out anything that comes into your mind when you hear that one-word theme. I think there was one theme—Relationship. Elvira said “Ice cream,” and, since I was after her, I went, “ Cool.” Haha
Okay enogh of cold jokes.
It was rather interesting to hear what others think of each theme, you know widen your horizon as nobody is living in a one-man world. As for every game there will be forfeit, those who took more then two seconds had to dance to the all time favourite song—Nobody. Surprisingly, those who were forfeited were all boys. From this I cannot really prove anything but I enjoyed watching those forfeited, as I am not the one doing it. When it is all boys it is more entertaining, as girls would be rather shy to for the forfeit as it is somewhat embarrassing, but sometimes without embarrassing moments, life would be rather dull. Agree?

Then Pastor Roy led the whole group in a small discussion on Galatians 2:20.

Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Lesson was to live by faith as the Son of God have given himself for me and loved me. SO live by faith not by sight.
Especially in the time when I receive my O’s results and getting posted, when I always like to fall back on God as despite any situation (Good or bad), each particular situation is planned by God to strengthen us. Amen.

The whole MSG ended with the dinner and a long clip with all the photos taken quite some time ago.

Initially, I wanted to stay longer to chat but my parents were so nice to fetch both my sister and I from church. As Uncle Kim Meng says, “Honor your parents.” Which is link to what the bible says, “Obey your parents.”
As I left the church premises, I hoped that my friends from RS would agree to come next month’s MSG. Pray for them.^^

Okay before I end this post, dad showed both my sister and I. It is a freaking awesome way to make music.

Love
