The "First" Supper

Last Friday was heartwarming for many as the TnT's met for the last time in the 4 cell groups. The groups had been together for almost 2 years since the Pacesetters camp at Sofitel Hotel... (remember the fun we had running around for the games, the powerful prophecies by Ps Dorai, the challenging speech by Dr Ong Koon Leong, the new friends we made, the mamak sessions in Senai and the "History Maker" song?)

Wowz... that feels like so long ago! Look at how we've grown! From a mere 3 ppl to 4 cell groups... And by tonight we'll know how many more! God has blessed us from humble beginnings and may we continue to carry this vision of growth forward...

I've learnt many things through the TnT cell meetings... Gotten to know many new people as well... But best of all, it's really evident that my cell group members have grown in the Lord, in their love for one another and in their commitment to the body of Christ! It's so wonderful to grow together and to experience church life.

Tonight, we shall be having the "First" Supper... I probably should blog tomorrow so that I can put up some pics, but I'm so excited. So I'm bloggin now.

Tonight's THE night. The Cell Group Multiplication Nite. It'll be a good time of sharing, getting to know more people and also the beginning for a few TnTs as they take up the challenge of overseeing/facilitating cell groups. And after all that, we'll probably fellowship over "makan" and have the "First Supper", hopefully sitting together as new cell groups.

As we continue to expand the TnT cell group ministry, let's become Teamplayers...

I leave you with the following thoughts:

The Teamplayer is always part of the answer; The Egocentric is always part of the problem.

The Teamplayer always has a program; The Egocentric always has an excuse.

The Teamplayer says, "Let me do it for you; The Egocentric says, "That is not my job."

The Teamplayer sees an answer for every problem; The Egocentric sees a problem for every answer.

The Teamplayer says," It may be difficult but it is possible"; The Egocentric says, "It may be possible but it is too difficult."

When a Teamplayer makes a mistake, he says," I was wrong"; When a Egocentric makes a mistake, he says," It wasn't my fault."

A Teamplayer makes commitments; A Egocentric makes promises.

Teamplayers have dreams; Egocentrics have schemes.

Teamplayers say," I must do something"; Egocentrics say, "Something must be done."

Teamplayers are a part of the team; Egocentrics are apart from the team.

Teamplayers see the gain; Egocentrics see the pain.

Teamplayers see possibilities; Egocentrics see problems.

Teamplayers believe in win/win; Egocentrics believe for them to win someone has to lose.

Teamplayers see the potential; Egocentrics see the past.

Teamplayers choose what they say; Egocentrics say what they choose.

Teamplayers may use hard arguments but soft words; Egocentrics tend to use soft arguments but hard words.

Teamplayers stand firm on values but compromise on petty things; Egocentrics stand firm on petty things but compromise on values.

Teamplayers follow the philosophy of empathy: "Don't do to others what you would, not want them to do to you"; Egocentrics follow the philosophy, "Do it to others before they do it to you."

Teamplayers make it happen; Egocentrics let it happen.

Let's all be teamplayers as we enter the new era and make history.
