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
