CF AGM

CF had its annual general meeting last night. This was a crucial time as new leaders were to be chosen to lead the CF for another year. A few people from the previous committee have decided to step down and retire after serving for quite a long period. They are Eric Ong, Jensen Chen, Melody Hor, Tan Renjie, Shu Ern & Shu Tze Yuh, with Renjie serving the longest among the six.

Praise and worship took place as usual with Calvin & Sui Yen leading the session. After that, our CF advisor Mr Kuek took over and spoke about Why Do We Need Leaders. Beside that, he also has messages to share to those who are stepping down--Don't Worry, Be Happy; those who are staying and those who will be chosen--Make A Difference; and those 'unemployed' (meaning they're not chosen)--Be A Guardian Angel.

Then, it's time to choose and vote for the new committee. Many potential candidates were being nominated by members and chosen based on the majority. And here are the chosen ones:

Chairman: Kelvin Wong Zhi Xiong

Vice Chairman: Kyle Tan Guang Pin

Secretary: Melissa Joy Benedict

Asst Secretary: Chuah Chang En (Alexson)

Treasurer: Pua Kai Ning (Evelyn)

Asst Treasurer: Florencetina Chew Yu May

Prayer Coordinator: Ray Leong Swee Fung

Word Coordinator: Tiong Ngee Derk

Worship Coordinator: Wendy Lee Yau Wei

Logistic Manager: Lee Kao Meng

Fellowship Manager: Shirley Kwong Chee Ai

Mission and Outreach Manager: Tan Sui Yen

Publicity and Sales Manager: Calvin Nanthan

Everyone then started approaching them to congratulate them and give them word of encouragement. Later, Eric Ong (who has led the CF for 2 years) prayed for them and also drew the meeting to an end with a closing prayer. The new committee has its first exco meeting shortly after that and then, just like last year, we went Ghany for yum cha session. Our advisors Mr & Mrs Kuek joined us as well.

Though I may not be chosen, I'm satisfied cos it may not be necessary to be part of the committee to serve the Lord. As long as I can serve and worship the Lord, I'm fine with it. And for the past 2 terms (since I joined CF) plus the coming one, there are 4 people who remain in the committee as far as I can recall. They are Kelvin Wong, Calvin Nanthan, Sui Yen and Shirley Kwong.

I'm in the same group with Calvin (left), Sui Yen (2nd left) and Kelvin Wong (2nd right) during the telematch held 2 years ago when we first joined CF. That's how I met the 3 of them. Thanks for being my friends, u all are indeed awesome.

To the current committee members, I hope that u all can do your best to serve God and lead the CF well. I will give my fullest support to the 13 of u. May God be with you always in everything u do.
