St Ignatius Feast Day 2011

St Ignatius Feast Day 2011 was celebrated at St. Ignatius Church last Saturday, July 30th.

SIC LRS is also participated in the feast with two counter namely LRS information Centre and Chris' One and Only One Fried Kueh Teow' Stall.

Please join me to walk back in time to see what they have to offer.

The crowd were packed despite the heavy rain in the morning. As we enter the area, we are greet by the aroma of the delicious and mouth watering Satay. Please bear in mind those yellow shirt are not 'bersih' but SIC Charismatic Prayer Group.

The smiles on the faces of those who man the stalls gave us a sign that they are really love their task at hand.

As we walk further in, we pass PHID stall which sells cloths.

And on our left is an information counter for Capuchin. Once I long to be a Capuchin myself as I love the way of St. Francis of Assissi.

Next is the PHID information counter.

And this cute bird's cage. I just wonder why everyone that pass by, lift up this cage and yet not buying.

The Altar Server information counter is next.

This is our LRS information counter where Sister Elizabert, Sister Ernestine and Brother Edwin are in-charge of the counter. While I am just a helper.

Brother Francis and Brother Nicholas posed for the camera.

These are some of the programs that organized by LRS.

The books on the display at our counter are so attractive even Sister Elizabert can not resist the temptation to pick up one.

Brother Francis is always multitask. Psst! those Ice Kacang are really good.

SIC Youth Group entertained the crowd and made it better with their young invited guest.

Burger Stall assistants serving their customers.

This is one of the LRS food stall where Brother Chris with his best fried Kueh Teow in town attracted most of us.

It's a long queue but worth waiting.

And the kids also have their own entertainment with their castle.

And yet some kids still prefer to spend their time in story telling and colouring with Sister Kim upstairs.

This is the 1st place winner for Treasure Hunt competition.

A familiar face, our fellow LRS Sister Rebecca's team managed to get 2nd place in the Treasure Hunt Competition.

Wow!! Not again. Congratulation Sister Rebecca!! She is also announced as a winner for CCC's quiz competition.

Another winner and it seems that everyone is winning. Praise the Lord!!!

Another winner? Sorry that is Sister Agnes with Mrs Nicholas holding an angel.

The best come last, today is also a birthday for our Parish Priest, Father Lucas Ng.

"Happy Birthday, Father Lucas Ng. May God bless you everyday in your life."

God is good. All the time. Trust in God.

LRS Program - Spiritual Retreat @ Maranatha

Now let us go back and recall those moment we have journey together as a group of people who love God and his word.

Do we have love to share so we can love God and His word? And share His love with our brothers and sisters.
St John said in 1 John 4:20, "Those who say, "I love God" and hate his brother and sisters, are liars; for those who do not love a brother and sister whom they have seen, can not love God whom they have not seen."

In His Story, we were going on a journey to search for that love that above all things even life itself as God is love.

We were introduced to His Story in 2010 through LRS program called A Quick Journey Through the Bible.

The journey was wonderful and life enriching experience and we ended our journey with a Spiritual Retreat called "Personal Vocation" at Maranatha Retreat House, Janda baik, Pahang. Father Ignatius Huan is our Retreat Director. Though it's a silent retreat but the spirit of God spoke loudly to us during the retreat.

Spiritual Retreat at Maranatha. <-------Click here for the retreat. "Peace be with you."

A Quick Journey Through the Bible is the place to start if you are brand new to Bible study. This 8-part system is designed to give you a basic understanding of the major people, places and events throughout biblical history.

LRS - Facilitator for 2012

My dear beloved Rockers, our leader had spoken as King Cyprus had spoken to his people to return to Jerusalem and rebuild Jerusalem and it's temple.

With love and dedication our facilitators had nurtured us so that we may also bear fruit in helping in our Church mission of enriching and deepen it's members faith in God and their love for the Word of God.

These are the words of our leader:
Hi Rockers
