God's Clay in 2008!

Looking Back 2008......

First i wanna say a HUGE THANKS to my small grp God's Clay!!! This are the people that has truly been with me the longest! Seeing how i have grown over the years with the Lord from that very quiet boy in sunday school and than in small grp time... to now one of the more talkative ones...

This year has been a year where God's clay has grown so much,being more mature and now taking more ownership of the grp, despite the many new transitions from guys going NS, to girls going overseas and universities and a couple taking A's and IB and some doing our FYP! We certainly has stayed strong being that Clay that the LORD our Potter has been forming and moulding since the tiny us! And now we even having bible studies on our own in 2 separate bible study days!

Looking back we certainly have grown so much over the years, in 2002 (when we were sec 1s), we were still under the old sunday sch system , then we had Gary. and then in 2003 ever since Wesley Youth Ministry was form in 2003 when we were just those tiny sec 2s....

2003, that was the day our OFFICIAL youth small grp was FORMED... I still rmb vividly, we were all in a room in the OLD YMCA, where Ee lin and Joel took us for the first time and we were all quiet staring blindly to our leaders.

God's Clay over the years...(the milestones)


See how the leaders and faces of God's clay has change over the years...
