Jacob's Graduation

Woo hoo!! Happy happy occasion.

Our brother Jacob Liaw is graduating!

His graduation ceremony will be on the 16th October 2009.
His graduation dinner will be on the 15th of October 2009 (RM 27 per pax).

Anyone who wants to be physically there to share his joy at graduating after putting in 4 hard years of hard work, tears, sweat, jokes, lectures, notes and finally being able to throw that mortar up into the air and shout "I graduated!", do let Sister Eliana know. She'll follow up with you. Appreciate if you could do that before the 5th of October 2009.

Friendship Connection-mooncake

A little bit of history for us about the origin of this festival.

Moonlit Uprising

In the 14th century, the Han Chinese overthrew the Mongols in a carefully planned uprising. The success of this uprising lies in these little mooncakes. Small pastries with a secret message outlining the plan was hidden inside the pastries and distributed. Lantern wielding rebels distributed the pastries at night in a well disguised wedding celebration. As outlined in the secret message, the Han Chinese executed a surprise attack on the Mongols.
The full moon on the Mid Autumn Festival shone brightly on the pathways to guide the rebels through the maze of the palace. Since then, mooncakes and lanterns are used each year to honor the new dynasty.

Mooncake Festival this year falls on the 3rd of October. It’s a festival that is celebrated traditionally as the Mid-Autumn Festival. It’s a time when families gather together, have a merry feast and children enjoying themselves playing with candle lit lanterns and adults enjoying tete-a-tete over tea and dainty slices of mooncakes.
Much emphasis is placed on familial ties and bonding among friends.

Our event in conjunction with this happy occasion runs along these lines of building relationships and having connections with our friends as well! And it’s happening on this Saturday already, 26th of September! It’s so exciting; we’re going to have a drama, (which is quite the epic of the year, I might add!), great worship, and great sermon from a great man of God, great joy and excitement from our members, great people who just can’t wait to welcome you (Yes!! You!!), glorious food and of course, mooncakes! What is celebrating Mooncake Festival without mooncakes, aye?
