Thank You TEAM

Angela Liew

Merry Christmas TEAM!!! Oh oh… or rather HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009! Thank you to each and every ONE of Y-O-U! You guys have just been a superb TEAM and your partnership… NO one can match! We the leaders are very proud of you all for performing so well in such a tense event BUT you all managed to keep calm and weather through it!

Su Shen or Leonie as some of you know her, has called to convey her “Thank You” to you all too. She felt that this year the team to her has performed extremely well and so chun the timing she said :-) I said of course!!! I have the BEST team in town! Remember this was a team Spirit it was not just because we worked well as a team it’s because Su Shen too has put in a lot of effort to prepare for us the details that the Tech Team needed. We too need to be proud of her and thank her! So gals and guys say “Thank You” to Su Shen when you see her ya!

Fui Lee is also very grateful for the TEAM! She appreciates the effort that we as a Team have put in to ensure that every detail of the events is covered and taken care of. She was very worry in the morning of 24th BUT after chatting with me awhile through MSN she was much comforted as she realizes that GCC has the BEST TEAM in town =-D with that she was able to enjoy the Christmas Eve celebration!

Team both Su Shen and Fui Lee are the event manager for Chinese and English service respectively ya! So say thank you to them too because they had worked and protected the TEAM much these year to ensure that we will be able to function and give our best to the church and most of all God!

Once again TEAM the Tech Team leaders are very proud of each one of you and indeed it’s a blessing to have YOU to be part of the team! Keep up the good job and be ready to face the BIGGER hall next year! Continue to rise up from where you are as next year 2009 will be an even more challenging year!

Happy New Year 2009 TEAM!

BE EXCELLENT!

“Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude” - Ralph Marsto
Excellence has never been about skills BUT its about the attitude that is within us. To achieve excellence we need to have the right attitude. No one is able to achieve Excellency or success by not carrying the right attitude in life.

GCC Vision 10: Excellence for God

The excellence parameter that we should have is not according to our own human standard BUT it’s according to the standard of God! That’s why good to the sight of man is never good enough for God, therefore we shall continue to strive for the BEST! Giving our BEST to God will glorify His Name.

To achieve Excellence we need to put it into works! We can’t be just sitting around and not doing work as that doesn’t bring any light to the people that we come encounter with.

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven Matt 5:16

The works that we do is not for ourselves BUT it’s for others to see how God is working through us! His Name will be glorified through the works that we do. Being in the ministry is not just being busy with practices, rehearsal or improving technicality BUT we are to reach out too! Reaching out to the lost souls is still our primary assignment as a believer! We are all called to do that! But it is through what we do (works) that will touch them!

How?
1. Readiness and Willingness of heart 1 Tim 6:18 Let them do good that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share.

2. Awareness of hearts and be Sensitive to other’s needs. Heb 13:16
But do not forget to do good and to share for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

3. Action plan Rom 12:13
Distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.

Two important Questions for you this Christmas 2008:
1. How many souls you want to see coming to Church this Christmas Eve _____Chinese & ______ English?

2. How many souls you want to see responding to the invitation of the gospel? ___________

Be refreshed by the touch of God this Christmas even from this very moment! The grace and impartation of the Leaders to you has already been released all you have to do is received it and run with it! God is going to stir and work in and through you this Christmas so be a blessing to others.

Remember Christmas is always for someone else it’s not only for yourself! Watch the Video clip and know how much our Father God in Heaven loves you! Let us be that light for God to spread His good news so that our loves ones, friends, colleague, and those that we come across will not miss another year of it!

Will NOT Trade for others...

Angela Liew

Today we had a wedding in our church and I must say we had the TOP professional photographer and a pretty good video company within our midst to capture the special moment for the couple!

Oh first of all CONGRATULATION to our very own Tech Team member Derek and Charissa for your special day! It’s our joy as a team to see you walk down the aisle today!

In the midst of the wedding someone walked up to me and said next time when you get a professional maybe you can consider this team of professional! I gave this person a stare and said why do I need to do that? I was totally puzzle why this person asked me to do that?

The person was also surprise by my reaction with the stare. I then continue and said why do I need to hire professional when I have my own professional GCC Tech Team? I trust my Team more with such event than any professional that money can hire! The person said, “Wah! You are very confident with your Team?” I retaliate and said OF course! I’m very proud of my Team!

Because I know deep down in me that when I hire my own team to capture and produce that special moment of mine, it will not only come with the result BUT it comes with every one of your hearts too! Again anything that is done with the hearts out weight any awards or professionalism!

I’m proud of you TEAM! Each one of you is important and makes the TEAM to be one of the kind! SO you are assured that for any special moment of mine you are to be “ON”!!!

-Angela Liew

技术团队，你们好！我现在觉得非常兴奋，因为身为领袖，要在这儿跟各位宣布一个全新的分享与交流的管道！

欢迎进入我们全新架构的网站(部落格)！这是为着每一个团队成员所成立的网站，这个网站是属于所有成员的！我们能够通过这样的管道(并在你方便的时间)和每一个团队成员分享与交流。

成立这个网站的目的并不是因为我们是技术团队，所以要拥有高科技，而是 -

1. 要使每一个成员都能透过这样的方式来更迅速的获得领袖所分享的任何信息(因为团队成员需要不断增长,但要常常聚集全部成员却又有一定难度）

2. 让所有成员掌握即将举行的活动（这样你就没有借口说你忘记啰^^）

3. 方便大家在需要的时候取出各种所需表格

4. 更最重要的是你可以在这里传达你个人意见

作为一个技术团队成员，你可以在这里张贴您的文章或作品。然而你须先将你的作品交给网站管理员 - Serena过目方可张贴。竭诚希望你能将这个网站加入成为你的最爱！因为我们深信每一个成员都在技术团队扮演着非常重要的角色-所以请展现你的魅力吧！让大家都能成为彼此的祝福！此外，某些特定的照片也将在这里张贴...当然仅限于咱们团队的照片！

此网站是由Serena、Tracy、Christina和我本身负责。我相信大家都能在这些领袖身上得益不少,希望大家能更加认识他们！

请切记，建立彼此关系是建造一个强大和成功团队的要素之一。技术团队，加油吧！

WELCOME
