For many University Chinese Cell Group members, October 3rd was one of their most unforgettable Sabbaths ever. On this particular Saturday, 44 members had gathered and worshiped God together at the Jedkod Pongkansao Natural Study and Ecotourism Center, where the beauty of God’s work reminded and told them much about their Heavenly Father.
With its 6 faculty members including Dr Mack Tennyson, Dr Pak Lee with Teacher Wilma, Dr Chew, Mr David Tan, and Mr Stephen Loo as well as 38 university students, the group left the campus grounds around 8 am and reached the park around 9 am. Once off the bus, a sala near the lake was chosen as their meeting hall and Sabbath school was started with a short song service led by Ian and friends. Lesson study by Mr Loo was up next, followed by Dr Chew’s short sermon about the wonders of a heavenly home which the “…Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man…” (1 Corinthians 2:9). A message of encouragement for all listeners was included, where everyone were urged to stay firm and “persevere to the end” for the beautiful reward they will receive when Jesus comes again.
After a healthy and tasty lunch prepared by the faculty and some of the members themselves, the rest of the day was then spent in playing Bible games and going on nature walks. Most also went for a refreshing dip in the waterfall.
The outing ended with a surprise birthday party for all birthday boys and girls of September and October, as well as an early mid-autumn celebration where many were reminded of their own family. With its touch of nature along with the close companionship shared among the participants, birthday girl April Lee (who had her birthday on that day) most likely spoke for many others when she said that this special day will remain with the Chinese Cell Group forever.
