SMASHING GOOD TIME

The Youth Church, comprising of people as young as 12 to people as old as 20 plus plus plus (and some parents who waited at the end for their partying youngsters), ushered in the New Year with one of the biggest and most groundshaking worship sessions in SMASH history. From 7 in the evening to past 1 o'clock at night, the YCers were treated with games, colored drinks, a fabulous talent show and touching exhortation by Pastor Darren himself. At 11 30 worship was led by the amazing voices of Darryl Ho Ping and Joel Koh - possibly the two best male leads of the entire church. The combination of excitement of the coming year, an ever explosive performance of the Worship Team and everyone's passion for the God who brings the New Year heightened the moments of sheer power and praise, marking the first rave party for the Chapel. At the estimated stroke of midnight, colored toilet paper, clappers and huge beach balls were in full blast. Everyone was hugging and screaming, catching the attention of many of the adults in the Sanctuary above who were probably having a less youthful and energetic party. Mass dance time was ignored and worship started again for another full hour. It was the loudest and most fervent display of thankfulness and desire for a year blessed solely by God alone. The Fellowship Committee could never have done all they did without their MVP. 

(: SMASH was a success, for the 8th time.
