Happy birthday to my City Harvest Church once again!
The birthday occasion was the… shopping time!!
The Ink Room gave 25% off store wide! So… I bought a looooottt!

  

  

4 books and 2 CDs.
The church has been singing a lot from these 2 albums.
Then, I would like to understand more on relationship. Hence, these 4 titles.

Do look forward to book review posts from me, ok?

Last weekend the church did some shifting.
Apparently, next weekend there will be some events using the church hall.
Hence, the bookstore had to pack up the stocks too.

Well, as you can see, there is no more Tree of Life in the area.
In the place of Tree of Life, the members could see some nice photos about the church.

  

 

Praise, worship, thanksgiving, Bible reading and prayer.
Some foundational disciplines to fireproof our faith

  

We put the stocks of books and Bibles into the metal cages.

At around 3.30 pm, the packing was almost completed. In fact, the church hall was almost empty too.

  

We had late lunch of Burger King.
Well, some supply of calorie is good for tired limbs. Agree?

Hmm, haven’t had meal together with the bookstore people for quite a looooong time.
I think for me the previous fellowship session with them was lunch near Somerset.
Last Saturday after duty, we went to HK Café at Marina Square and had superb dinner.
How superb was it?

  

  

  

Fantastic dinner, agree? Just by looking at those photos I feel hungry again  
  

Had lunch outing yesterday with bookstore members, my very own Saturday team B.
We went to Kiseki, a Japanese buffet restaurant located at Orchard Central.

  

  

   

Well, as one may expect, buffet is the time for the customers to unleash their gluttony.
As for me, I finished at least 20 dollars worth of salmon alone.
Yummy ~ ~ ~ ~ Sweet!

  

  

More importantly, we celebrated birthday of bookstore members.
Happy birthday Silas, Lili and Fion!

We did lohei to celebrate Chinese New Year too.
You can watch the video on my FB.

Last week was Chinese New Year week. Hence, there was no church service on Saturday.
We only had church service on Sunday morning.
There I was, attending the service and meeting friends too.
In particular, in The Ink Room I met someone special.

 

Elim Chew! The founder of 77th Street! Yesshh! Took photo with famous person!

  

Some friends and I had lunch at Food republic. Hungry! Not many stores were open during New Year.

 

Nice lunch with them. We discussed plenty things under the sun: church, Dead Sea, Israel, etc.
Hmm, shall have fellowship session with other bookstore members too ~ ~ ~

Yesterday the bookstore ministry conducted a ministry appreciation.
We appreciated the volunteers who had set aside their time and energy to serve God in the bookstore.
I remember this ministry is called ‘ministry of literature’. That is, we provide spiritual material to help members grow in God.
Sometimes, members might not be able to recall the sermon.
Hence, we burn the sermon into CDs so they can listen to it times and again.
We encourage the members to read books too. Sometimes, some passages in the Bible may seem difficult to understand or to apply.
Hence, different book authors explain those difficult passages and how they apply in daily life.

  

  

Lunch first after the duty and before the event.

 

While listening to back-up vocalists singing.

Bookstore staff!

  

Start of the event. Ice breaker game by Bernard.

  

  

We gave an award to the Best Retail Assistants, Best Cashier, Best Punctuality, Best Newcomers and Best Team Performance.
Well, once again, my team won the Best Team Performance for the second successive year ~ ~
We celebrated birthday too!

Ladies in Saturday B ~ ~ My team adopted masquerade theme.
Stay tuned for more crunchy news from The Ink Room, ok?

My team, team B, kicked start the Christmas duty last weekend.
We served from 11 am to 5 pm. It was just nice since I attended the 5.30 pm.

  
The highlight of the products. Some Christmas gifts and sweets.
We tried our best to sell out all of them   

Took photo of a customer too~~~

 

A lot of books. New arrivals. Well, I may need more time to memorize them all ~~~~

Some bookstore members were eating their lunch during break.
Our dress code was red or green.

I took photo with Pastor Zhuang too!!! Yay!

Christmas at Pooperwick.
A drama performance featuring the story of the birth of Lord Jesus and the story of reconciliation between two sisters.
I feel that Christmas production this year emphasizes a lot on singing.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
