Held on the 3rd of October (definitely not Oktober Fest), Chen Li celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival in the church premises. Commonly known to some as Moon Cake Festival or Lantern Festival, the festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the chinese calenders. Our brothers and sisters were treated to a delightful variety of delicacies, from korean styled pork and beef to amazing kuehs and desserts.

A meaningful video introduced to me. You Love Me Anyway by Sidewalk Prophets.



Lyrics

The question was raised
As my conscience fell
A silly little lie
It didn't mean much
But it lingers still
In the corners of my mind

Still You call me to walk
On the edge of this world
To spread my dreams and fly
But the future's so far
My heart is so frail
I think I'd rather stay inside

CHORUS
But You love me anyway
It's like nothing in life that I've ever known
Yes You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me

It took more than my strength
To simply be still
To seek but never find
All the reasons we change
The reasons I doubt
Why do loved ones have to die

But You love me anyway
It's like nothing in life that I've ever known
Yes You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me

I am the thorn in Your crown
But You love me anyway
I am the sweat from Your brow
But You love me anyway
I am the nail in Your wrist
But You love me anyway
I am Judas' kiss
But You love me anyway

See now I am the man
Who yelled out from the crowd
For your blood to be spilled
On this earth shaking ground
Yes and I turned away with a smile on my face
With this sin in my heart
Tried to bury Your grace
And then alone in the night
I still called out for You
So ashamed of my life
My life
My life

But You loved me anyway
Oh God how You loved me

But You love me anyway
It's like nothing in life that I've ever known
Yes You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me

You love me
Yes You love me (x3)
How you love me (x3)
