RCIY Opening Day!

4 May: RCIY Opening Day

It was the day we start our new process of sharing God's love and words. Some of the inquirers were so excited about the new process that they arrived at the church before the notified time of 230pm! Well done! 

In the 2 hours we got to spend with each other, everyone got really comfortable with each other and had so much fun. During the games, the inquirers were so enthusiastic that they were so steady in the forfeits! From Who is the celebrity to Hunter-fire-earthquake to Human Bingo to the MRT game, the atmosphere became lighter, friendlier and warmer. These games helped us to know one another better, to remember one another's names and of course to break off the awkwardness among all of us. For this, we thank You, O Lord, for guiding Brandon (our games IC) through the preparation of the games, allowing him to come up with such fun and meaningful games so as to help us know each other better.

First game: Who is the celebrity?

Second game: Hunter, fire, earthquake!

Third game: Human Bingo

Fourth game: MRT game

Lastly, we had our sharing session. We broke into small groups and introduced ourselves, wrote down things that the inquirers already knew about the Catholic faith and what they would like to know through this process of RCIY. 

Iris explains what sharing is.

Closing off with a prayer, the opening day had come to an end. Most of us went for mass together and I'm glad that this day started well good and I hope that there will be more memories to come (: 

"Heavenly Father, as this entry comes to an end, I thank You for gathering all the inquirers together on that day and allowing us to experience Your presence through our interactions with one another. As we look forward to the future sessions and camps, please continue to watch over us, fill us with Your wisdom, love and patience. And so I ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen."
