“Group hug!” is an exclamation usually heard from the cute and alien-like mascots, the TELETUBBIES. Though it may sound absurd, Tinky-winky, Lala, Dipsy and Po say this to show love and care. They also give a feeling of togetherness whenever they do this.
A very sweet and warm episode had past last Sunday, October 26, 2008 and, like the previous KS gathering, many have been there to show LOVE with the grace of the Lord. We sang praises to our Lord and we made sure our neighbors heard it! “Yes Lord, Yes Lord Yes Yes Lord” was all over the hall. After prayer and praise and some news, we had a very tiring game at the court. Everyone was blindfolded and was grouped into sets of four. We thought it was just a typical “group yourselves according to animal sound” game but it was actually more. After finding our group mates using animal sounds, we were handed a rope and was instructed to make a rectangle out of that while blind folded. It took a lot of effort and strategy. Going back to our episode’s real essence, we were doing this to show oneness or unity among the groups. There were no winners. We just had to finish the task at hand.
At snack time we had buns stuffed with ground beef. After that, the most important part of “Pass d’ Msg”, we had a little inspirational talk from our beloved pastor, Ptr. Benjie. He started with a story of a cone and how it was conceptualized. We ordinarily would not spare a minute to think of how an ice cream cone was developed. That was probably why many were fascinated about it. Making the long story short, the cone maker benefits the ice cream maker and vice versa. We all need each other. Take it or leave it! The fingers need the hand. The hand needs the arm. The arm needs the shoulders. Simple yet meaningful. We will be more functional and effective if we could just be like those four funny cute aliens. KS, let’s have a group hug!
