It has been completely tiring, stretching and amazing being through that weekend with 2 supports, 3 FOP services and 1 Anniversary service. Not to mention moving stuff back and forth from Expo to Indoor Stadium and Jurong West. Ugggghhhh.
But I must say, we have truly made a difference at the FOP and Anniversary services, it would not have been the same without the usher ministry. I really felt our effort in trafficking the people, filling up empty seats, placing bulletins, envelopes, DVDs, bookmarks and all sorts of stuff were worthwhile when u see how happy the people are and how much they enjoy themselves. I was very touched by all the ushers who came back to serve event after event, till I even was slightly 'sian' of seeing the same faces at West by the last FOP service - but knowing they are as tired as me or even more but yet still made the effort to stand in the gap was a huge motivating factor that kept me going on.
Big thanks to ALL of you have made a difference in the West zone!
Esther - For your trust in me and allowing me to run the West, for being not only a leader but also a friend
Jing - For being there throughout even thru ur "Chinese Sinseh Torture" aftermath and being sick with migraine..That I never even realised till after the whole weekend was over. You have truly taught me how to persevere and keep on keeping on.
Flo - For being such a great help and having so much energy when I was flagging!
Raine - For sharing the angst. Hehehehehehehehehe. And also for standing in my place on the last night when I CMI already... Sigh, how irritating to fight 90% of the battle and then go down, but yes thank you!
Zhixiu - For doing the same corner zone uncomplainingly throughout all the 4 services we serve together..
Peifen - For helping me to compile contact lists, for taking on the entire terrace by yourself and for being a super-reliable pillar of support
Jeffrey - Funny, funny jeffrey.. Hahahaha! For standing in the corner faithfully even though you couldn't hear the sermon - then again you proved that you wouldn't have understood it even had I shifted you to the middle of the zone - for your M&Ms in time of need, for just basically being a pillar of [very tall] familiarity throughout.
Soo Eng - For so bravely sticking out the Saturday night at TTSH A&E with the "hole" in your leg - You are a fantastically courageous young lady, hope you get well soon!
Jayme - For standing faithfully at the curtain for the entire service. Must have been a big culture shock for you - first time ushering curtains! Love, your esteemed Directory Assistance personnel hehehehehe.
Jing Xuan - For making the effort to come down at the last minute on the last FOP night
Rachel - For your hair-raising arena-gate closing encounter and also for making the effort to rush back for FOP last service
Irwin - For your great attitude and enthusiasm on FOP night 1
William - For so willingly helping out wherever I send you to, be it External traffic or East or West.. Sorry for sending you all over the country, but you did a great job nonetheless!
Adrian - For allowing me to hijack you on the last night (sorry!) and I still owe you money! Will pay you ASAP.
To all the leaders of 4S5 for making it happen, wherever you were, for your days and nights of untiring-ly calling your ushers again and again and again, I strongly believe we as 4S5 gave the best possible support to the weekend.
Once again.. THANK YOU EVERYBODY!
