Today we celebrated Paya Lebar Methodist Church's 75th Anniversary. It was a highly anticipated event, as the church comes together to attest to God's goodness and faithfulness in leading us through these 75 years. It is wonderful to see missionaires from the field returning to base and getting tuned to the heartbeat of PLMC throughout this period. Even Rangsit Methodist Church (our outreach project in Thailand) send a delegation to join in the celebrations.
In his message, the TRAC president, Rev Wee Boon Hup spoke on "Being filled with the Spirit", taking his text from Ephesians 5:15-21.
What did I take away from it? Well, I felt the connection I had earlier when we sang in unison to praise and glorify Him, together with the message in verse 19 : "as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, ". It is not so much of how well or bad you sing....it is whether they are from your heart. Next time you enter into a service or gathering, check your heart condition. Getting tuned into God's heartbeat set yourself up for God to fill you with the fullness of His Spirit.
I was glad to have a colleague joined us for the service with her boyfriend. Having moved so near to church (Kovan Melody) was indeed an opportunity for me to extent the invitation. I am sure that they enjoyed the service and I look forward to do some follow up activities with them.
Jo Lau and her 2 kids (a former cell member, who migrated to Canada) made a surprised visit to church today. It was wonderful to hear how God has work in their lives as they settle down in their new home. Praise God indeed!
