When you first heard of the role sessions coordinator, it may sound a bit intimidating. But don’t be discouraged right-away; it’s not as bad as you think it is. The role of sessions coordinator is sure very important. It is the role that ensures COSDU has something happening every Friday. If you are looking for a way to have a direct contribution to COSDU, sessions coordinator is the answer for you.
To be honest, sessions
coordinator is quite a challenging role. When I was nominated for the role, I
was shocked and nervous because I wasn’t sure I was ready for such significant
responsibility. However, a little part of me said that I had to do this and this
might be the chance to be closer to God by doing this role with Him; and let me
tell you, it was worth it. If you say you have nothing to offer, maybe it is
the time to let go and let God be in the driver seat. All you have to do is to
believe that He will lead your way. In order to be the sessions coordinator,
you don’t have to be the most religious person. What it takes is the courage to
get out of your comfort zone and a willing heart to serve.
The role of
sessions coordinator is quite simple and straightforward. All you have to do is
to plan and organise COSDU weekly sessions for the year. Don’t be afraid, you
won’t be doing this by yourself. Our awesome chaplains, Fr Thinh Nguyen and Sr
Delma Lamb, will constantly support and help you with the decision making on
the sessions you organise. Most of all, I’m sure God will not leave you alone.
Remember what He said, “Ask and it will
be given to you (Matthew 7:7)”.
When it comes to
the sessions, BE CREATIVE!! Think of what you and this community would like to
gain from your session. For example, if you want to deepen your relationship
with God, a talk or prayer night would be preferable; if you want to have a
bonding opportunity with the COSDUans, a game or movie night would be good. So,
think of what you would like to gain at the end of the session, and you can start
your planning from that. See!! This role is not that bad after all.
Apart from the
self-satisfaction you obtained from the community’s reaction towards your
sessions, being in a committee is the experience you won’t regret. Apart from
getting to know more people, e.g. new members & speakers you invited for
the sessions, you can actually have 9 new best friends as you and the rest of
the committees will be serving COSDU for the entire year. In a way, you are
serving God in a very pleasant environment.
So, if you get a
call from God, don’t run away. Step-up and let GOD lead your way. It’s normal
to be afraid, but let your FAITH be greater than your fear!! Like I said
before, you won’t be alone in this because you will have lots of support from
your committee, your chaplains and most of all, from GOD. Trust me, it’s worth
it!! All you need is a heart to serve and you are ready to go!! =)
