Cornerstone Church

This is the first morning in UK, woke up at 9 am Sunday but its already 4 pm at Malaysia. They should be done with church and taking afternoon nap back home. Thanks God that I don't suffer from jet lag, it seems like I rest enough in the bus last night. I'm following Sen Loong and a few others to Cornerstone Church, making it the first place I visit as I arrive UK.

Getting ready in the morning:

We've walked 20+ minutes from Dunkirk and reached the church. Actually walking outside in this weather is really nice and cooling, I won't say the street is VERY clean and beautiful, but it's enough to serenade me. The church houses around 400-500 people (maybe more). A style of worship that I'm comfortable with, except the overflowing number of English people (will get use to that soon).

My first church service in UK:

After service, the church clear up some space for free lunch and all students are invited to join. Pita is something new to me, basically an oval pocket bread that we stuffed everything inside, cheese, ham, jam, chips... and some fruits and drinks. Just knew that our Asian gang includes some students from Singapore, China and Korea as well. A great mixture of international student fellowship.

Free lunch after church service:

"Gather to me this consecrated people, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
-Psalms 50:5

I pray for God's direction to show me the plan and area of ministry that I will serve in this new place. Whether by using the experience that I gained in the previous years, or some new things to pick up, let it be used wisely and solely for a good reason. Also pray for things to get stable so that I would be able to settle down soon. Amen.
