I have been attending Damansara Utama Methodist Church (DUMC) because of various reason. One main reason is due to the timing. The English service is every Saturday at 5p.m. and Sunday at 10a.m.

The first time I visited the church, I was amazed by the crowd of people attended the service. In my church, it is quite common to have an empty chair in between two different groups of people. Over at DUMC, the ushers would make sure that every chair is being occupied.
Another interesting fact is that they call worship service as celebration time. The celebration starts with praise and worship, then followed by church updates, prayers, sermon, and ends with more prayers. They have a team of Pastors that will rotate to speak every week.
If you are keen to know how the sermon is like, you can also go to the website to stream the sermon. I have just watched last week's sermon. It reminds us to:
- Find time to stay in tune with God.
- Find a room/place where you can do your quiet time.
- Find space to be in tune with the Holy Spirit.
The "formula" to do journaling is very useful as well. First, read a passage. Then, start journaling by using SOAR.
Scripture - Write down one scripture that speaks/appeals strongly to you.
Observation - Observe the context and write down what you observed from the scriptures.
Application - How can you apply what you learnt in your life?
Response - Write down a prayer. By writing, you can remember better.
I have tried it today, so far so good! Do try it out!
