Please read this ... message from your Youth leader, servant of Jesus Christ our Lord.. Very important!!!!!!! (remember to give your response at the end of this post)
Hi Pebbles... It has been discussed during session meeting and youth leader meeting and vincent's brain cells.. that we might want to change the timing of our Youth fellowship.. We would like to hear from you which day and time do you prefer to come and meet God with us, or I should say.. which day you can give your best worship to God with the pebbles!
Advantages of not having fellowship on Sunday... Rather Friday or Saturday..
1. Better opportunity to bring our non-believing friends to Pebbles@bridge.. because most of our friends will want to spend sunday with family or sleeping..ZZzz. Save one more for Jesus!
2. Most youth are at their best mood on friday and saturday! They want to do anything, go anywhere when they are invited.. therefore, easier for us to bring our friends too! Save one more for Jesus!
3. We don't need to depend on our parents so much for transportation.. we can enjoy our ride to church by bus and mrt .. some take taxi if they are late!! Learn to Grow!
4. Our mind can focus better on Sunday for worship service.. We can serve God and people better. Balance diet for our spiritual needs.. Worship!!! and Serve!!
6. Increase interaction with other church members on Sunday after worship service.. No need to rush for YF anymore.. we can spend more time talking to our elderly, parents, church leaders, and of course other young people who have yet with us. Express Love to others in Church! not just pebbles..
7. This is important! Create more opportunity to feed pebbles with God's word that is more relevant to young people!!! Sunday worship has limitation to speak God's word directly to young people.. becoz the pastor is speaking to an age group of 13 to 90 yrs old in one service.. not an easy task for Pastor Richard.. and other preachers.. Imagine speaking "Sex, dating, rock music" in sunday worship service.. they will go "hah???, these are my past! now then you talk about it!!??" Grow to be more like Christ!!
Advantages on Sunday... ( I will also give some advantages for Sunday service la.. 1. For some of you, get a free ride to church by your parents' car.
2. Convinent.. every spiritual things on Sunday... (but sad.. Monday to Saturday - live like the worldly people are living.. )
3. Traditional... literally follow our ancestors their way of doing things... very safe..
4. Can sleep better on YF red and blue bean bags.. because we get tired easily after a long morning in church.
5. This is the best advantage! We are able to get those who are being force to come to YF.. parents are there! they cant go home! hehee ( I am speaking the facts! not against anyone hor.. don't you agree? ) Our YF growth is through second generation Christian who are promoted from pri 6.. which is good too! dun get me wrong.. I think we should continue to teach our next generation.. we must! is a biblical command in Deut 6:7! but in doing this .. we have lost the passion for those outside of our church, becoz we focus too much on ourselves already.. our own clique..
So I need your honest opinion.. your poll please..
