Last Friday, Sien, Kerry and I went to “Bible Studying”. We went there and hoped to join this activity two weeks ago, but found that it was not opened. So, we went there again and had a great time. Let me share with you.

 

First, we sang some songs that are about God’s love with others. Everyone’s voice wafted around the room. People come from different places and have different backgrounds; however, we sang in one language and one sound. It was really amazing that people’s singing can be that loud together. It really touched me, though I don’t know why.

 

After singing together, the host invited friends who took part in the activity for the first time to stand up and shake hands with others in order to welcome us. And then, we were separated into several classes, depending on our English proficiency. For us, we chose Hazzal’s class. As the teacher of freshmen, Hazzal taught us a lot of things about the Bible. She told us some stories about who wrote the Bible and what the Bible is. We enjoyed the stories and, most of all, I liked to interact with Hazzal (why?).  Since I am a Christian. I have read the stories in the Bible before and my father told us storied about God too, so I felt familiar with with those stories. I talked a lot to share that evening. Perhaps the others considered me noisy because of this.

 

But time flied, two hours soon passed. We finished Lesson One and had a pray together before we went on. And as soon as we moved our steps, Hazzal reminded us that there were all kinds of desserts for us to enjoy. But time is late, we walked through crowds and said goodbye to the friends we met today. We hoped we can come here next time…….

 

Bible Studying is a good activity for me to release my bad feelings, especially while we are singing together; I really feel the love among people. Life pace in a big city becomes faster and faster, and people have few chance to relax their soul, so this kind of activity is good for people. We can not only relax and make friends with others, but also improve our English. As the proverb said “Kill two birds with one stone”, is really helpful, isn’t it?

 

Do you want to join us? Do you know that there is life after death? Join us next time, you will find out the answer of life you have sought for a long time. “Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path” Psalm119:105
