The inaugural session was well attended, and a full program of oldies, followed by praise songs and a sermon by Rev Tay Kay Leong was the order of the day.

As the theme for that afternoon was "Sambal Udang", there was a talk on "Peranakan Culture". At the end of the day, in line with the theme, a snack of rice and sambal udang was served.
