Atone 2009 Impartation

.040109. Atone Worship Ministry Impartation #1 @ SIBKL

It's really a year of increasing capacity and Ps Lee Choo is all set to build up our character and determination to make 2009 and beyond a better worship team!! To start things off, thanks to Andrew William for putting up everything together for our first bi-monthly gathering this year with the theme "Pasta & Salad". It's all about getting together as one team to worship the Lord as well as having some fun time and food together. Our aim; to achieve unity and teamwork with one another!! I'm sure it will help all of us to bond together more closely =)

This afternoon, Ps Lee Choo imparted to us words of encouragement and wisdom as we began our new year. Psalm 121:1-2 says, "I lift up my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." Just before that, Emmanuel led us with a fun ice breaker where he have to untangle ourselves into a big circle. We were also given a chance to ask Larry, our new worship leader, 3 difficult questions.. LOL Blanche led us with a time of worship. Finally, after Ps Lee Choo's impartation, we all headed to the canteen for some really yummy homemade pastas, salads, lagsagne and many more...

Here's some photos...

Mina's Farewell

.041008. Mina's Farewell @ Auntie Jin Iy's Residence

Just came back from Mina's farewell. It was a night to remember for Mina as the Atone Ministry and some of her closest sisters in church came together to Auntie Jin Iy's house and made her cry (Tears of joy and uncontrollable emotions of a heavy heart of course...) before she leaves back to Korea for good.

It has definitely been a wonderful 7 years for her in Malaysia as she settled down to work and seize the opportunity that she found here. She was truly blessed to be a blessing in SIBKL and now, I strongly believe that it is time for her to bless others back in her home land. And of course, the memories that she had here in SIBKL will be cherished forever. (Not that we're not going to see each other anymore though) When the time comes, we shall meet again, perhaps when AirAsia flies to Korea or something. LOL

Not gonna write anymore now though, time to sleep already. Tomorrow gotta wake up at 6+am for church duty. Here are some photos and more later...

*auntie jin iy's house definitely has one of the nicest garden =D*

Who was there and what else happened next....

Warm Doggy Welcome

.270908. Atone Worship Ministry Retreat @ EL Sanctuary Malacca Pt 2

After a yummy lunchie, we headed to EL Sanctuary, located somewhere in Alor Gajah, a place called Bukit Hantu. No Hantu though, of course. The moment we arrived, we had some problem as the bus couldn't pass through the entrance's gate due to a slanting tree branch. Hence, we gotta walk up the slope to our respective chalets.

It was indeed a lovely place for retreat which offers a serene environment and close to nature feeling. The freshness of the air made us feel just so comfortable and relaxed. As soon as we unload our stuffs into our rooms, we gathered for a bonding session at the well maintained chalet with Ps Lee Choo kick started the retreat officially!! Ohh... And of course, we were welcomed by a pack of cute doggies which also accompanied some of us back to our chalet everytime we walk back.. Haha.. So cute..

Anyway, here are some of the photos...
