The first year’s had the first field education today. I visited a Lutheran Church today in a small Chinese village called 11th mile Cheras Lutheran Congregation (EMCLC). As I arrived to the village there was a Morning Market right in front of the Church. Thus, have to look for parking further away from the Church.
Today's bulletin..
As I enter together with my seminary-mates, we were greeted by the Senior Pastor of the church Rev. C. H. Lee. There were two concurrent worships at 9.30am, a Chinese Service and an English Service. The English department students and I went for the English Service. As we sat in the church, the liturgist starts with a prayer session. During Praise and Worship there was a session for us to confess our sins to God.
Sis. Emma a member of the EMCLC went to Myanmar for missions last year and taught English for the school. She gave her testimony about how God used her to be a blessing to the people in Myanmar. From her sharing I know God is working among the Burmese people and a lot came to know the Lord from her contribution to the society there.
Sermon today was given by Pastor Aaron Yap the English congregation pastor on “Jesus is calling!” taken from John 1:43-51. The liturgies of a Lutheran Church are quite similar to the Methodist Church although this Church I was in does not follow fully the whole Lutheran liturgy. After service, we have sometime of dialog with Bro. Ronnie (Church chairman), Rev. Lee and Pr. Aaron Yap. Rev. Lee gave a brief history and ministries of EMCLC. A time was given for us to ask questions in regards to the Church.

After the dialog, we had our lunch together at a restaurant nearby with Bro. Ronnie, Rev. Lee and Pr. Aaron. I have a good time of fellowship over lunch. We left Cheras about 2.30pm back to Seremban. We stopped by the ‘Seremban Siew Pau’ building that was beside the Plus Highway. Most of us in the car wondered how to get in because it was just right beside the highway. Jeremy from Seremban guided us there. I brought some ‘Siew Pao’ so that I can indulge eating it later.

That’s it for Sunday the church visitation day. All of us the first years are instructed to write a reflection on the worship earlier.. I’ll do it later! Now is the time to rest and plan for dinner.
