Every once in a while the Young Adults Connect Group (YA CG) would go on a special outing together for fellowship, fun and re-fuelling of energy. In the past, we have had many memorable outings; getting in the war zone together in paintball, camping a night at Pantai Kerachut under stormy weather, having stay-over with crazy activities. Well, this time around, we decided to live out the life of a true Penangite. We decided to on a mission to hunt for the best food around Penang!

The hunt for food began early in the morning. After gathering at the designated meeting point, we were all assigned to our mode of transport and off we went! Friends joined us for the whole trip or some for part of it. We headed to all the hot food spots we could think of. From infamous roadside stalls to Chinese coffee shop to drinking milk shake, we had it all.

Just as we hunted for the best food around Penang, as children of God, we must also be hunting for the best spiritual food around and that comes through the digging into His word. Physical food nourishes us physically. Likewise, spiritual food nourishes us spiritually. As we walk in the year of deepening here in GCC, it’s important for us to have that spiritual hunger, not merely be more knowledgeable in His word but more than that, to have a stronger, healthier and more powerful relationship with our Lord and Saviour. Just as God gave manna to the Israelites, God too gives us manna so that we can see His goodness and grace, so that we can be spiritually satisfied.

After the food escapade, we all headed over to Poh Sim’s apartment where we had a chill out time together. One of the key things that we want to do as a connect group is simply… to connect with God and to connect with one another. We want our time spent together to be one that is filled with fellowship and encouragement. Our prayer is that CG will be a place where Christian brothers’ and sisters’ are able to share lives and encourage one another. As we spent time together over food and fun, it was a good time for all to connect, esp with friends in our midst. We thank God for the weather, the time, and each person who was with us.

This year GCC has the privilege of holding the fort in Penang for the “Run for the Nation 2010” (also known simply as RunNat), a prayer run event, uniting churches from all over Penang to come together as one body of Christ to intercede for Penang island and for the nation as believers run through […]

Good Friday has always been a cliché - a gloomy day, one that brings about a solemn reminder of the death of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. As solemn as Good Friday may be, forget not the celebration that comes forth from it! Easter Sunday resounds triumphantly the resurrection of the Man who […]
