I love celebrating milestones such as birthdays and anniversaries. It’s an opportunity to thank God, reflect on the past and look forward to the future with hope. Last Sunday was our church, Eaglepoint Penang, 5th anniversary with the theme “Defined by You”. A song of the same title happens to be one of my favorite songs (“…Jesus I’m defined by you. I am who you say I am…”). It was an exciting moment, a great bonding experience, and most of all, a celebration of the growth of God’s kingdom. Thank you Lord, for your wonderful blessings and for bringing us to where we are today. We give you back all the glory!
The anniversary celebration was held in Setia Pearl Island Country Club, specifically at Pearl Palace Restaurant. When we got there at 5:15pm, there was a flurry of activity in the place. Hurriedly, we set up the registration booth. Then the guests started coming in. It was so nice to see people dressed up for a night of merriment. The turn out of guests was amazing as we were able to fill 24 tables (that is, 240 guests) as expected. It was another rare occasion where we got to see our friends’ friends and their families. We’re glad too that pastors from Every Nation and other churches came to grace the occasion.

A night of celebration it was! The entertainment was provided by Danzity, the youth, Kids Church, and would you believe - our special guest! Also, James’ joke was a “sell out”! I thought the ice breaker made the guests feel at ease. We had raffle draw. Generous church members donated the prizes.
Our special guest, Pastor Scott Douma from Every Nation Japan, reminded us that Jesus must be the center of everything and that the reason for the celebration was Jesus.
A big thank you to everyone for making the event successful.
Lord, thank you so much for the work that you have done in Eaglepoint Penang!
