KUALA LUMPER CHURCH ANIVERSARY
The Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Congregation celebrated their 32 years in the Global/Living Church of God Church during the Family weekend at a beach bungalow located in Port Dickson Beach. Thirty cheerful brethren got together on December 6 for the Friday evening Sabbath meal where the ladies prepared a large dinner with a variety of food to enjoy. The night ended with good fellowship.
On Saturday morning, the brethren enjoyed breakfast made by the teenage girls who volunteered to serve the meal. After breakfast, we had a Bible Quiz session themed Men Vs Women. We had fun answering many questions which tested our memories of God’s Word and stories from the Bible. After a fine luncheon, we prepared ourselves to have the Sabbath service in the bungalow where there was a large upper room with a roof above and open air just beside a jungle. The sermonette titled, “Together, We Are Better” was given by Mr Jerry John followed by the main message on “Our Commitment” given by Pastor Mr Rajan Moses. It was a very different environment with the sound of nature throughout the service.
After a spiritual meal, we had some afternoon tea. Right after sunset, everyone was ready to enjoy a BBQ dinner. We enjoyed good fellowship through the oneness of God’s Spirit. Some interesting games were also introduced to make the evening fun and exciting. After a tasty dinner and enjoyable activities, some headed for a night swim in the indoor swimming pool – another highlight of the bungalow. After swimming for a while, they headed to their beds for a much needed rest.
On Sunday morning, after breakfast, as the sun rose in its heat, a few again enjoyed the pool just before checking out of the bungalow at 1pm. Some drove back home and some spent a little time relaxing by the beach before departing. Everyone enjoyed and appreciated the weekend and the fellowship of the Kuala Lumpur congregation and look forward to having another gathering weekend in a couple of months time. As Psalms 133:1 says, “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is, for brethren to dwell together in unity!” – Jerry John
Church Picnic And Sports Activity
This year the Feast of Pentecost was very special for all the brethren as it was a combined service. Brethren from Bahau, Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru congregations gathered at Port Dickson, Bayu Beach Resort Hotel for Pentecost services. The sermons by our ministers Mr Rajan Moses and Mr David Isaac were very uplifting. They both covered the subjects of Christian character, the meaning of Pentecost and how to be grounded in the truth.
The buffet lunch was delicious with great variety including fried chicken, beef curry, lemon chicken, Chinese style tofu and dessert. The second service was extra special as one of our members, Mr Victor James from Johor Bahru congregation, was ordained as Deacon. Both ministers laid hands on him.
For the offertory music, a quintuplet of girls sang and in the afternoon we had another choir of a mixed group. The evening tea break and cake cutting for Fathers Day was fun and joyful. As Paul says, “make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” (Ephesians 4:3) By keeping the Feast of Pentecost, we continue to understand the deep meaning and how special our calling is as firstfruits. It was a memorable and uplifting Pentecost. – Ronald Moses
Church Picnic And Sports Activity
On Sunday, March 31, 2024, a group of 35 members including children had a wonderful picnic by the beach at Port Dickson. The brethren came together ready to play beach games. The weather was very pleasing and we were able to rent a canopy, table and chairs. The ladies prepared a potluck buffet breakfast. We had Nasi Lemak (coconut rice with anchovies), nuggets, noodles, curry puff, sausage and on the spot tosai/dosa (Indian pancake) with chicken curry.
The games were much enjoyed and included baseball, frisbee, football and sand castle building. Our Pastor, Mr Rajan Moses and our Elder, Mr David Isaac had great fellowship with all the brethren. Some had fun with the donut boat and banana boat. It was an enjoyable day and the
Church picnic gave us additional time to fellowship with one another. – Ronald Moses
