2 May Tiffany Adrian, Ryan, Chelle, Kenrick
Editor’s Update By tiffany chan
Acclaim began May with a sad farewell to one of our members and dear friend Joseph, who will be returning to his family and work in India. For many of us at Acclaim, the suddenness of Joseph’s absence during bible studies and choir practice and the uncertainty of when we will meet again is quite upsetting. That’s change. It can be sudden and uncertain, unwelcomed and shocking. But as we will see in this month’s YAC, change can, of course, also be positive. Acclaim, as you will hear from our longest youth member Ryan, has evolved over the past decade (yes, the OLD youth group is 10 years’ old!). We also hear from our newest member and Youth Pastoral Associate, Adrian, about his reflections on change and the role that God plays. In this issue we will also hear from Chelle and Kenrick about their personal stories of change. Sometimes we have to remind ourselves that God has a plan for all of us - “Trust in the Lord with all your heart” (Proverbs 3:5, 6 NIV). Farewell Joseph. We will miss you, but we are certain that God has great things planned for you.
