Youth Fellowship on November 30, 2025 - Sushi Café - Charity Sale

Last Sunday, the youth fellowship held an event where everyone came together to create heart-shaped origami and write scripture verses on them, encouraging and sharing with one another. This hands-on activity not only enhanced our practical skills and creativity but also served as a reminder for everyone to keep God's word close to our hearts and to live it out and share it with others. The Psalms remind us: "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you." We hope that as the children grow, they will find strength in God's word. Additionally, the younger children joyfully played badminton in the space, building their physical strength and enjoying the joyful atmosphere of fellowship.

Last Sunday, the youth fellowship held a special event where everyone worked in groups to make homemade pasta. From preparing the ingredients to cooking and plating, it was a wonderful display of creativity and teamwork. The dishes included spaghetti with meat sauce and creamy mushroom pasta, both delicious and visually appealing. In this joyful atmosphere, we experienced the truth that “whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” Each plate of pasta was crafted with care, and we felt the joy of working together as a team. During the event, we gave thanks to God for the beautiful time we shared, and we pray that the fellowship members continue to grow together in joy and shine for the Lord.

Recently, our youth fellowship held an exciting sushi-making competition. Everyone participated in groups, engaging both their minds and hands, filling the atmosphere with laughter and creativity. This was not just a culinary contest; it was a beautiful moment of teamwork, mutual encouragement, and friendship building. In this relaxed setting, our brothers and sisters learned the importance of supporting and respecting one another, demonstrating their faith through action. May God continue to guide our youth fellowship, helping them to grow boldly in the Lord and become a blessing in this generation. The results showcased during the event were truly mouthwatering.

The theme of the camp is "Living Out Our Faith." Pastor Wu Zhiwen was born in Sibu, Malaysia, but grew up in Singapore and New Zealand. He came to know the salvation of Christ at the Auckland Chinese Methodist Church, where he also met his wife. They have two daughters, and as a family, they enjoy trying new restaurants, especially for brunch, and they love to travel. In addition to reading and writing, Pastor Wu enjoys tasting coffee, photography, running, and cycling. He currently serves as the Senior Pastor of the Wellington Chinese Methodist Church.

As winter gives way to spring, it brings with it an indescribable joy, showcasing the simple yet profound continuity of life in nature. People should cherish their time in youth, so that they do not find themselves regretting it in old age when joy seems to slip away. Spring is the season of new beginnings, and our life plans should be grounded in faith.

The mooncakes I made by hand filled me with an immense sense of accomplishment; I truly believe they are the best in the world. Our teacher worked hard, and I realized that modern young people can indeed balance both the kitchen and social occasions. Under the careful guidance of our instructor, we learned the techniques of making mooncakes, paying attention to every detail and emphasizing precision. As I looked at the perfectly round mooncakes, I couldn't help but be cautious, striving to ensure that I made no mistakes, as this was my moment to showcase my skills. Additionally, the vibrant colors of the dough and fillings sparked my curiosity about how much time our teacher must have spent preparing them. Indeed, working together in unity allows us to achieve more with less effort.

On August 18, 2024, during a special event for the youth fellowship, participants showcased their outstanding craftsmanship by creating beautiful shopping bags, demonstrating the ironing skills of both boys and girls. Each design carried a deep meaning, and the shopping bags made during the event will be used for the Christmas shoebox project, which will be delivered to children who have never received Christmas gifts. We hope that as they receive these gifts, they will feel the love and support of God.

On July 21, 2024, the Youth Fellowship will hold a special event featuring a cake decorating activity. Participants will have the opportunity to create their own cupcakes, experiencing a great sense of fulfillment.

We are grateful for the hard work of Teacher Daisy; the smiles of the participants are the best reward for her efforts.
