On June 21, the Sydney community held its monthly outing service, bringing together members, new guests, and friends in a beautiful natural setting. A young leader shared an inspiring message on building healthy families through her personal testimony, creating a warm and uplifting atmosphere. More than 73 participants attended, enjoying a meaningful time of worship, fellowship, and community together.

Core Message: Youth leader Pei gave the message on the theme of “One Big Family.” She shares a personal story about moving from Thailand to Australia and feeling homesick while sitting alone in a park. Looking up at the sky, she realized that although her family was far away, they were still living under the same sky—the same “roof” of one great home called Earth.

This experience gave her a sense of peace and inspired the thought that all people are connected as one family under God. While people often create divisions and boundaries, nature reminds us of harmony, cooperation, and belonging. Pei explains that God’s original ideal is for humanity to live together as one family.

She encourages everyone to use the day in nature to feel peace, let go of feelings of separation, and see one another as brothers and sisters in one human family. The message concludes with the reminder that we are not alone, we are deeply loved by God, and by sharing that love with others, we can help create harmony in our families, communities, and the world.
