Soccer Fellowship Report (6th April)

April seems to be a month of hot mornings, followed by thunderstorms afternoon. Saturday was no different, as weather was still not really favouring a good game of soccer come 3pm. Nonetheless, the usual hardcore soccer fans itching for some kickabouts still turn up Pasir Ris Crest to have some light runs, as SSC has not called to cancel on the field. Multiple lightning sightings in close proximity had the field warden ask us to remain in the shelter till about 345pm.

Jem lead the devotion, entitled putting a smile on God's face, with the main scripture from Jeremiah 9:23-24 "This is what the Lord says: Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that i am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight, declares the Lord." God delights in kindness. Kindness being showed to one another, to fellow brothers and sisters, to the sick and needy, to everyone. Every acts of kindness will definitely put a smile on God's face!

After devotion, the players (about 12 of us) took to the pitch. We played with the cones available on half the field, with the blacks and darks against the light and colours. Shortly after, we were joined by some young friends to about 9 v 9 on 1 half of the field. Play was pretty packed and David opened the scoring with a well struck shot. Soon it became too crowded as afew more players came trickling into PRC field. We all then went for a water break to resume using the full field. Play resume in the second half with goals flowing from both sides. The light had strong regular PMC players in David, Sheldon, Mark and Joel, while the key players for the dark are Keemin, Jem and Kevin. Final score was 4-2 to the light coloured team.

We thank God for all the new faces who join us, and especially for the walk-ins from Pasir Ris neighbourhood who came to play. Kevin close the session introducing PMC along drive 6, and we definitely love for them to join us again as well as pop-by our church along drive 6.
