I decided to serve&nbsp;by&nbsp;picking up the Myanmarese congregation. As their service starts at midnight, I have to be at church every week at around 10:15 PM.

It&#8217;s also such a joy to watch how excited they are about attending Celebrations. Serving them has changed how I approach Celebration &#8211; I now have come to always seek an encounter with God.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span>Share a #ServePeople story <a href=\"http:\/\/dumc.my\/connect\/individual-care\/share-your-story\/\">here<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started serving because I felt that my faith, without service, was meaningless.
