Not Just a Name (24 Aug 08)

MCYS in conjunction with the movie producers of local production, "Money not Enough 2" came up with the movement of "Not Just a Name" - teaching about filial piety, in line with the storyline of the movie. Basically that "Mother" and of course "Father" is not just a name, we should not only call them for the sake of calling or taking them for granted, but rather to love and treasure them even when the circumstance is difficult.

Well, i always think that these local productions are rather "LC" and not worth the $ to watch becos they are out on DVDs and then on TV so soon! So anyway, my church actually organised together with the people behind the "Not Just a Name" movement and there was a screening in church after service at expo. Though the tickets cost more than it does at the cinema, we just wanted to support it.

Most importantly, i invited my MIL and Shian to come and watch. Though they didn't service, i was real,y glad they came and experience the atmosphere and see the venue where i have church service every week. I was so bent on getting them a good seat, i actually rushed to Q for seats right after service, and had to even grab a bite while queueing. The good seats we got and everyone's happy faces was well worth it :)

Dear and me while waiting for the movie to start:

Dear and his mother:

My parents also brought my grandparents, who also attended service with us in the morning. Really admire my parents for making the effort to always bring my grandparents out to dine, and even to church. I must say, it is really challenging bringing my grandparents to church becos my church is so big and always crowded. My grandparents are not able to walk that fast or squeeze with the crowd etc...but glad they all came. I even bought flowers for the 3 mothers - my mum, MIL and grandmother - glad to see all of them smiley :)

Thereafter, we adjourned to Airport T3 for dinner at Dian Xiao Er. What a nice meal we had!
