The Weekend
Introduction
What is the Choice WEEKEND?
The CHOICE WEEKEND is a programme especially made for young adults age
between 18-35. The weekend includes presentations and sharing sessions
by singles and married couples, allowing participants to understand issues
of e.g. relationships from various perspectives as well as to speak on
their own thoughts about them.
WHO WE ARE
The CHOICE family is a community that supports young adults as well as
married couples to know, to love and to serve one another in the paths
of our daily life. Besides having these weekends, prayer meets are also
held twice a month for young adults to come together and experience the
warmth as a community. What's more, each prayer meet is accompanied by
a sumptuous gourmet feast!
What can the CHOICE WEEKEND do for ME?
Have you ever felt lost, not knowing how to cope with all the different
expectations we have of life as well as expectations of family and friends?
It is at this stage of our lives where we experience most change as we
begin the journey of adulthood. It is a critical time for all of us to
seek direction in what we want in our lives and discover the meaning and
purpose of life.
The CHOICE WEEKEND helps us to deal with all these multiple changing roles
we experience and also seeks to better our daily lives especially our
relationships with family and friends.
There are two parts in the CHOICE WEEKEND PROGRAMME.
FOR THE YOUTH One caters to the youth from 18-21, these are targeted
at university students who nowadays experience a tremendous amount of
stress and peer pressure to excel. The Campus Choice Weekend helps youth
cope with these expectations and also better their relationship with family
and friends.
FOR YOUNG WORKING ADULTS
The other is the CHOICE WEEKEND which caters to working adults who have
just entered the working world and also those who have been around for
sometime. The Choice Weekend is a good break to focus on people again
and also reminds us that life is not only about work alone but much more.
A time to take a break from urgency driven activities, to recharge our
batteries and consider what matters most. At the heart of love is CHOICE,
the freedom to choose is also CHOICE.
In Singapore, the Weekends have been running continuously since 1981 and
it has never stopped since and one question asked during the weekend is
"Are you Committed to be Free?" Can you be committed and free at the same
time?
The CHOICE PROGRAMME (International)
Tens of thousands have attended a Choice Weekend in more than ten countries,
including Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan Korea, USA and UK. So many
people have benefitted greatly for the programme. See
