Fare well. Indeed, this is truly the sentiment many felt and prayed this evening for Augustine as we gave our Music Director a send-off party.

And partying we did! After a wonderful feast of home-cooked specialities such as Jacq Goh’s all-time favourite Dry Laksa and Alicia Yeo’s Curry Chicken, we had a beautiful singspiration session of old favourites. It would have been a perfect unison of hearts and voices, if not for the last song “Ooh Ngia Boh” (which was sung in discord! *Gasp*). The tune of “Sad Movies” was obviously unfamiliar to the young and young-at-heart among us.

This was followed by a team game. What a riot our men were as they sportingly ‘accessorised’ themselves as a game forfeit for the losing team! Thumbs up to you, guys!

We watched a video wonderfully put together by Linda (thanks for the painstaking effort), presented a keepsake box to Augustine (hope you will enjoy reading the heartfelt thoughts penned by our MM members), and heard many share the blessings they received through Augustine’s work as our Music Director. It had been, no doubt, mutually beneficial to him too, as he expressed how much he had learnt and grown, working with the music ministry. Praise God.

And so, the evening ended with much hope in our hearts that as Augustine embarks on the next journey, may he enjoy and flourish in his new endeavour. Surely, he will be as great a blessing to those after us.
