Mars Hill Church and Uni Presbytarian Church!

it was very enriching and nice... i went for both services and i guess it was a good thing since i had two perspectives on the styles that both churches employ differently!

Mars Hill is more of the youth service sort of thing- most pple there are below 35 and the music is self-composed and rock... more upbeat... though we have occasional hymns done in the rock way here and there...

Uni Pres has more of the anglican like structure which i appreciate to have back in our home church ccr... more like the adults' service but think of the worship session as replaced by the hymns they sing in church...

;)

as for me i still have to make a choice on the churches though i think the uni pres would be more appealing for its proximity to the school and the uni programs they have got for the students... every tuesday, 1000 plus uni students come together to worship and fellowship... don't i think it's just great and sounds very much like vcf... :) just that they always do the corporate thing together...

which sounds fun of course! though now there seems to be some sort of a conflict... hm... i have this orientation thingy for the international students this tues... and then there's this thing... maybe i could go for the orientation and then go off early or something...

Kathryn says i can always offer my help at the church since though huge in organisation, there's always this tendency to see it as the church having so much of a pool of talented pple we don't need to do anything to get things done around the church sort of thing...

:)

we'll see we'll see...

Both pastors were on Jesus' forgiveness of sins and his willingness to be associated with sinners despite everything...

A one liner would go: you gotta recognise your sin of omission cause it leads to all the other sins of purposeful rebellion...
