Welcome!

Overdue blogging, I can't stand it, can you? Unfortunately, I've fallen victim to this disease for the past couple of months - lots of things I want to blog about, photos to share but no time to get it done! *haha* So here's a disclaimer:

*this blog entry was intended for Sunday, 7 February 2005. The reason why I haven't just simply changed the time and date to the actual date above is because people might miss the entry. Lately, it's been a pleasant surprise to see many new entries! Happy to see DB blog more since he's joined the BLC council ;) Happy to see Messy Christian give her usual dose of shout outs too and we can't leave our Rev. Sivin Kit out can we? Lots of entries mean no room for getting away with overdue blogging!*

Welcome! Welcome Takeshi, our new resident Japanese at BLC. He's been with us for a month now I think, and he's actually doing his Bachelor in Divinity at STM, Seremban. It's part of his training to be with a church and to be guided by a Pastor. Enter - BLC =) We are after all known to not slave-drive our members and are known to be quite foreigner-friendly *haha* He's a really nice guy, arguably the most polite person in BLC! You know how the Japanese customs are ;)Needless to say, he's been pretty much integrated into our BLC customs, style and lifestyle! =)

   

And...Welcome back to BLC Mr. Tan Soo Inn! One of Rev. Sivin's mentors and friends returned to BLC as our guest speaker and preached a fine sermon. Looking forward to listening to him again and am sure those who bought his book are enjoying it now!



Welcome to the new 2005 council of BLC! Led by Rev. Sivin Kit, looking majestic in this photograph! Good to see the new council get off to a great start at the AGM, shared with the outgoing members of the previous council.

   





David Berry, one of 4 new council members (James, Hoong Guit, John Cheah are the others), put to 'service' during Holy Communion immediately! ;)

Lastly, we've been having more babies and kids in BLC, and there are just way too many photographs of them from the past 2 years till now to dig up and blog about but I just couldn't resist posting pictures of the little Berrys.





These were recent so it's fresh in my mind - baby Declan is getting cuter and cuter each day and you gotta love the photo of Declan with his big sister Kirsten Berry.
