Poh piah and Fellowship

Visited Adam Road Presbyterian Centre(ARPC) last night. For those in YCKC, it's the church that VikEe married into ;) (remember her?) Anyway, being the first friday of the month, they have a special evet called 'Big Night Out'. During these fridays, there's supper after the service! :) How can anyone resist supper right? And last night, it was hand-rolled poh piah for supper... the self-service kind where you roll it yourself.

Over the food, had a good time talking with some of my NTUCF friends, as well as meeting Chin Cher's 'extended family'. We had to drag 4 tables to accomodate everyone! Also, was amusing to see Yong Chieh being so enthusiastic about wrapping poh piah ;p

Yesterday was a good time to get reminded what fellowship is about. True fellowship ,koinonia, is possible only because God, by His grace, mercy and divine purpose, sent His Son to redeem us from our sins by dying on the cross. By Jesus' death and reserrection, we are thus united in Christ and are new creations. That, in essence is the gospel. And thus, because of the gospel, we can fellowship and commune with God Himself, as well as with our fellow bruthus and sistas as a people bonded together with love, through Christ :)

And I tell you, one of the best ways to do this is through a good poh piah... ok lah, should generalise here... over makan :) Everyone can relate to good food. So the next time we enjoy fellowship with the privilege of having food around, lets (1) encourage one another, both Chrisians and non-Christians alike and (2) say 'Grace' with joy and thanksgiving, remembering the gospel :)
