Youth Sunday 2010!!!

Youth Sunday was today!!!

For the sake of those people who weren't here (you know who you guys are), and especially for the sake of the person who asked me to do this (ehem ehem), here is a kind of detailed account of what happened at Youth Sunday today!!! :)

Everything started with a skit 1, where Jason Low, Rachael, Dawn were introduced as members of the same church...

Then we went into the normal prelude, call to worship, opening hymn, opening prayer and then Gloria Patri...

The Gloria Patri wasn't exactly Gloria Patri, though...

Why? Because the pianist played the wrong song xD

Alright, because I played the wrong song :P

Instead of Gloria Patri, I played Doxology =.=

OUCHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually didn't notice my mistake until I was nudged and told by Derrick and koko Sern Wang...

When koko Sern Wang came to me at the piano, I turned to see some church members starting at me, their expressions sort of a cross between angry and shocked xD

The poor congregation, though...

First they sing Doxology with Gloria Patri's lyrics shown on the screen, and just when everyone syiok-syiok singing Doxology, then I changed the song to Gloria Patri...

mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bad thing about that was that it was probably the most embarrassing moment for me in my many, many years in church, but the good thing is that it was the probably the biggest hiccup we had this morning, which means that everything else went relatively well!!!

THANK YOU GOD!!!!!!! :)

Anyway, Youth Sunday had no choice but to continue xD

Instead of our usual reciting of the Apostle's Creed, we sang it today...

Not the exact words that we usually recite, but it memang is a song...

It's an interesting song to play with any instrumen, I imagine (except maybe percussion), because the chord changes on every other note...

So by the time you're done playing the song, you probably have sore arms!

Thank God my arms were fine today :D

The youths on stage, singing the Apostle's Creed for the first time in Sunday service (I think)

After that was skit 2, which was about Jason Ng, whose car tire punctured on his way to church...

After trying to do something about it, Jerrel, a church member passes him...

Jason asks Jerrel for help but he says that he is in charge of beverages in church, and he already is late...

Jerrel says that he really has to go to church first, but Jason shouldn't worry to much as he's sure there will be other church members passing by later, and maybe he can tumpang them...

"If no me, later no beverages!"

Shortly after Jerrel leaves, Rachel appears and Jason asks for help...

Rachael says that she might not know how to help with the tire, and she has to get to church quickly because she's the usher...

She tells Jason not to worry, she'll go to church first and ask the church members to pray for him!

After she leaves, Jason tries again to fix his problem...

While he's doing that, Edrik appears on a weird vehicle that can rotate 360 degrees (biasalah, Edrik, whole life doing these weird-weird things xD)

Being entertained by the skit

Edrik stops and offers to help Jason, saying that he can fetch him to church and then later, his friend's friend, a mechanic, can help with Jason's car...

With that, Jason gets a ride to church :)

After that, Joanna led us in a time of worship...

Joanna and the back-up singers

The musicians

After that, as usual, was the offering with the offertory hymn, followed by the REAL Doxology and prayer xD

Then skit 3 pula starts...

A boss in a company wants to see one of the managers, Jason Low, so his assistant calls Jason...

Jason has made many grammatical errors in his report, costing the company a large sum of money...

Apparently it wasn't the first time too, but after Jason's pleading, the boss forgives him and gives him 2 weeks to work on the report...

Jason goes back to his office and sees a worker working under him, Deric pass by...

Jason calls him and scolds him for some other mistake that Deric has made in his report, costing the company a sum of money not more than what Jason's errors cost the company...

Jason fires Deric :(

All these, however, are seen by the boss's assistant and he tells the boss about it...

The boss fires Jason once he has heard about this...

Youth Sunday continued with the concerns of the church followed by prayer...

Then skit 4 started...

Dawn and Krystal are shopping when they come across an old lady selling tissue paper...

Dawn is very very rich and so she makes the whole world clear that she is being very generous as she wants to buy all the tissue papers that the old lady is selling for RM 50, when actually all those tissue papers cost RM 52...

Dawn takes a photo with the old lady and contacts her friends, all so that people will know about her "generous" deed...

They then go to town for lunch and coincidentally meet Kimberly and Caleen at the restaurant...

She tells them the "amazing story" about her "very generous deed"...

After that, when the food arrives, she offers to pray out loud in case any of the church leaders are around...

She stands up and prays out loud.... VERY LOUDLY, thanking God for the sun, the moon..................................ZZZzzZzZzzzzzz

After the skit was the song presentation...

The youths sang out theme song this year, From The Inside Out...

Hui Yee was worried about her solos earlier on, but thank God everything went well :D

After that was the sermon by Derrick...

And after the message, skit 5 started...

It's about the transformation that Jason Low, Dawn and Rachel experienced...

And then there was another song presentation - Power of Your Love, which was also our closing song...

With the Benediction and the Three-fold Amen, service was over :D

After a few group photos, we left for Ocean for our buffet lunch!
