I am always in great anticipation of
@surpassinggoogle's trendy tag that unite
steemians in sharing their amazing activities in life. To me it is a very good sight to see people of different walks of life come together to support each other. And so without any further ado, here's my very own passionate entry:



Many believe that church is a place where people solemly pray with their knees down for hours and where pastors seem to preach in perpetual. With this, MILLINEALS thought that indeed this is not their place simply because its just BORING! While this conception is PARTLY true to most of us, but one thing they do not know about a church, is there is MORE to explore inside it, that when we fully uncover, we will all surely be caught in love with its distinct and one of a kind beauty among other.

Last week, the youth in our Church had a bible study led by Micah a 13 year old boy and a Grade 7 student. He tackled about Psalms 23 which says,

             Psalms 23
          A psalm of David

[1] The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

[2] He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,

[3] he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake.

[4] Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

[5] You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

[6] Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.



With this topic, everyone of us were caught engaged because these young people also have things to say about the goodness of God on their lives.

Some shared that despite the heavy demands of their studies as students like an overnight finish of their assignments and staying up at school until weekends, still they find time to serve the Lord through music and see each other to encourage the team.

Not only do they listen but they also jot down notes of the verses caught them the most or that speak to their hearts. Such a lovely sight from these young people.


After micah successfully led the bible study, all of us were group into 5 to have small groups where we can freely talk and discuss anything that concerns our hearts. With this, each one of us where given the opportunity to voice out and express ourselves. Here are the lovely moments shot in this scenario.

After this group sharing, we now have the most anticipated event of the day, which is the bible quiz. I, yours truly is the tasked moderator of the said competition. The bible quiz is classified into 3 categories. The first category is "Singing Bee" where participants fill the missing lyrics of a christian song played. The second category is each group will choose a member to be the representative of their group to answer the question. The representative will write his answer on an illustration board to be raised everytime the time is up. And lastly the third category, is the team quiz wherein all members of the group will work hand in hand to answer the questions asked by the moderator. And at the end of all these categories the group of Erica emerged as the champion of this battle.
