Just finished a really enjoyable get together with the youth of Setapak Parish. Wasnt really sure at first whether it would take place as I didnt get any response from anyone until Evelyn called on Thursday that it was on...
Majority of them like William , Daniel, Carolyn grew up in the Parish and can recalled the many trips they they had together. My son laughed so loud when Daniel and Jeremy recalled jumping out of the window in Frasers Hill. It really sounds as if the Parish members had many good times and confirmed from the pictures Evelyn brought -
Today, most of them have grown to be fine young men and women. William, Adrian , Jeremy and Chan Hong ( sorry if I got your spelling wrong ) @Mcchicken fan are now working. Carolyn just finished her law degree in ATC . Evelyn, Kristy and Daniel are in college and Shane in Form Five.
Basically, it was for Setapak's "Joshua" group to get together as we hardly see them now at the Parish meetings in the recent years. The common topic of getting to see "Joshua group " more at the Parish gathering cropped up , so did the dwindling youth attendance etc.
Interesting discussions, feedback , lots of laughing but I think what was most encouraging is the fact that at least everyone was willing to make a go at it . Like Jeremy said, start small by connecting again with one another and certainly Adrian's response to pray about starting a small group for youth is certainly encouraging. Well, Kristy was the first to say she would attend if there was one. So we only need to pray hard for a group to start when the time is right....
