The Fellowship

Tawau : More than 30 Extraordinary Ministers of Communion (EMCs) and their spouses had a fellowship dinner with Msgr. Nicholas Ong, rector of Holy Trinity Church and the religious in a local restaurant on Sunday 8th November 2009.

It was an occasion for the EMCs to get together and share their experiences in their ministries and it also provided an avenue for their spouses to get to know each other better.

In his speech, Msgr. Ong thanked all the EMCs who had committed themselves to help the priests in distributing Holy Communion in the church as well as conducting prayer services in outstation chapels.

It was also the parish’s way to show its appreciation to those EMCs who have decided to leave the ministry after many years of commitment while at the same time welcomed the newly commissioned EMCs who replace them.

A sharing by one of the EMCs

An EMC also took the opportunity to share with others how the commitment of assuming the ministry duties of an EMC had helped him grow spiritually.
