Dim Sum 点心 party 🥟 & discussion about the Bible to gain wisdom💡for your life & hear different life stories from the mentors about wisdom.
Also, why do we need wisdom? We might think that doing well at school and being competent in our careers would be more than enough to live successful lives. However, unless we gain wisdom about life, we cannot live a good life, as life presents numerous challenges that our competence and schooling cannot fully address. So come and hear some valuable wisdom that you need in life!
