Games
were organised by the Youth and the Fun day organiser fantastically to play
inside and outside of the Church Hall. The participants were divided into 2
groups and given the colour Red
and Green, to encourage the belongingness within the groups. We experienced
laughing and encouragement which was fantastic. The group leaders were given
the opportunity to choose the competitors for each game was also enjoyable.
Regarding
Food on that day, Who would bring and what would be available was a mystery.
But the result was colourful and immense.
Lots of generous hands provided
scrumptious food. When the food was provided the plate was full. What a great
joy!
There
were more than 50 participants and very glad to note they were mixed age
groups. Familiar and unfamiliar people had fun together which was the climax of
that day! Age, gender and religion were the mixer of combination of the group.
Children and youth brought real family atmosphere on that day. We laughed,
chatted, ate and played together.
Two
relaxing stalls were there. One was the collection of beads and jewellery which
were the hand works of one of the committed Congregation members which was
excellent! Children enthusiastically encouraged to approach the participants to
sell the different items which seemed to be a marvellous efforts from our
younger generations. This was much appreciated. All were ready to do the
nail polishing and supported financially for that day!.
The
final was men’s foot ball and cricket Teams. Very loud and well
participated. Women were not only
watching but they encouraged one another to play shuttle. Some played the game
first time in their lives! It generated the health consciousness as well.
Finally
the prizes were distributed. The
Organiser and the youth put their energy to appreciate all the families
through this effort.
We ended with the LTCC thanks giving prayer both in Tamil and
English: bless the Lord Oh my Soul all that is with me bless His Holy name.
Bless his Holy name. Bless the Lord Oh my soul and forget not all His benefits.
Amen!
Yes, we
really need to uplift our hearts to give thanks to God who was generous and
brought committed people to put their energy for the success of this day! All
glory to God and let His name be praised! May the people worked hard be blessed
by Him.
