49: CMC Songs of Yesteryears - Fri 31 Aug 12

The CMC Songs of Yesteryears fellowship was well-attended. As the theme was "ASEAN Melodies" the attendees came dressed appropriately in sarong kebaya, batik, barong and other ethnic dressing. It was a time of fun and laughter, singing and dancing. Richard Toh was the MC at large, with Kenneth Tan on the keyboard and Martin on the drums. Albert Wong was the lead singer.

The highlight of the day was a sermon by Rev Lim Jeng Huat, Pastor in charge of CMC based on the Parable of the Talents. He shared how we can get an idea of what God expects us to do here on earth. We're all given talents, some great and some small--but whether our talent is epic or miniscule, we glorify God when we use it to further his kingdom.

There was an atmosphere of informality and good will as many of the song and dance items came from volunteers, on the spot and without rehearsal. Nevertheless, they were very enjoyable items indeed, and everyone appreciated the effort made.

The event concluded with delicious rochor mee, walnut cake and lemonade.
