Project Bread of Life - Email from Chai Hwa

2006-12-20T16:21:00.000-08:00

Dear CYM-ers,

The Worship & Evangelism committee and Mohan Naidu (Nina & Michael's dad) from our church is organising a 'Bread of Life' project this Fri, 22 Dec.

Basically, the project aims to distribute 300 loaves of Gardenia Fruit & Nut bread to needy residents of the flats around the community. This is to share with them the message of joy and love of the Christmas season and to let them know that there is a church in the community.

They are looking for people who are free and willing to help to distribute the bread. All it involves is to go knocking on people's door, telling them who we are & giving them the loaf of bread. The details are:

Date: This Friday, 22 Dec 06
Time: 10.00am
Assembly point: Church
The whole duration should take only about 2 hours, of course, it'll depend on how many people turn up that day.

So, I'll like to ask that you seriously consider giving your time & energy for this good cause. Please either reply to me (sms to 96656195, incl ur name unless u know i already hv ur no.) or your CGLs by tomorrow (20 Dec 06) if you are able to help out this initiative. Thanks!

I'm very sorry for the tight response time. I'll also like to let you know that I won't be around myself cos my brother is getting married that same day (& time!).
Thanks for your understanding.

BiG (Blessings in God),
leech

hey guys (= just wanna share with you a story i heard a few days ago. its about Evangelism.

a fireman was charged in court for neglect of duty. one day he was in the fire-engine while the building, next to him, was burning. the cries of a family of five were drowned out by the music from the CD player in the engine which the fireman had turned on. as he listen to his new stereo, a young mother,carrying her few-months-old child jumped out of the window. her husband and two older children jumped out too, but the flames had already consumed them. in court, the fireman stated that he had gotten the CD player as a gift for the fire-chief. the fire-chief said that this made him feel betrayed.
what do you think is the proper punishment for this crime?

if we do not spread the gospel, we become like the fireman, neglecting our duty as Christians and letting our loved ones and others around us die. the fire-chief is like God. if we give excuses like 'oh i was doing something else for God' , its like betrayal because we either dont mean it, or we simply think whatever the "thing" is, is much more important than the fact that God has called us to spread His love with all those that still dont know Him.
so how can we, as people who are like the fireman himself, to give a punishment ?
i guess the only way to help ourselves, is to help others, right?

if more people can go next week, they'll postpone it to next week.

so pick a week, and say so on the tagboard, okay?

oh, and best of luck for your results! ='] =']

BIBLE STUDY ON RUTH!!!

2006-10-06T07:53:00.000-07:00

hi girls!!!

thanks for your suggestions last sunday. i will take time to prepare some bible study material on one of the books which you girls have highlighted (i.e. isaiah, 1 corinthians and the 4 gospels) for our study in future. but for these 3 weeks, i would like to ledge on to what chai hwa has prepared on the book of Ruth, due to the lack of time to really prepare a good series myself. for those of you who know, one of my sunday school friends since we were in pri 5, ariel's daddy suddenly passed away. this has really affected me quite a bit, so if i'm a little moody on sunday please forgive me. see you all on sun, girls. please learn to love God, love your family and friends around you everyday. life is really too short to not cherish things most important to us.

love, adrielle

food fair - a penny for your thoughts

2006-09-03T04:06:00.000-07:00

hey girls, ad here.

how was food fair? :)

think about the process of preparing for the food fair: what have you personally learnt from preparing for the food fair?

was there something we did well as a CG? or was there something we could have done better? :) as part of learning and growing together, do post your reflections here or email the group about it.

ask yourself, was God in the picture?

May our CG be a success!!

Cheers!
Shermay

2006-08-20T18:38:00.000-07:00

hey girls, as I've mentioned, go check this website out. it has a lot of useful information :)

http://www.filipinomissions.org/

also, you girls can go and check this one out :) it's info on the flag of philippines :)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_Philippines

hey... I was just wondering if you girls were interested in creating a board/card game for this missions fair, then we can sell fondue, some nice chips, blended drinks etc. but to come up with a board/card game requires a lot of brain juice and team effort, so if we decide to do this, we gotta work hard.

yup, what do you all think? :)

philippines stuff

2006-08-17T00:52:00.000-07:00

hi ppl

okay in case you didnt receive my email on the philippines information... go check ure emails. i just sent to those accounts that adrielle usually sends to...oh and erm if u have more than one acct go check all cos i forgot which i sent to.

oh and my dad went to philippines for some biz trip and he got some filipino stuff. some popular mango drink [we can sell in cups...] some funny foods etc. i'll bring on sun kiki.

yayy that's all

cheers and muax
~~**danie**~~

2006-08-16T22:13:00.001-07:00

um...oops! my bad.. i thot i wrote my name....hehe.

today was my chinese psle oral.
and if my suspicions are correct,
I PASSED!!
WOOOHOOO=D
God has answered my prayers.
God really is good

missions food fair updates

2006-08-15T09:32:00.000-07:00

firstly, i'd like to say that i'm very encouraged that our blog seems a little more active now, in that there is more participation from everyone in the cg :) way to go, girls! :)

secondly, please identify yourselves after you post, so that we know who you are. our dear bubu whose grandaunt just passed away, please identify yourself so that we can pray for you :)

thirdly, missions food fair updates! as this sun is the deadline, i hope we can keep each other updated about our research and whether we've found any new "lobangs" throughout this week, so that our discussion on sun can be "chop-chop". i've checked out some filipino cookbooks in the NUS bookstore and oh man... filipino food is super challenging to cook lah. heard from nat that it's kinda hard to find stuff online on the philippines too. how bout the rest of you? :) what's your progress like?

newaes, here are some alternatives for us to think about, should we not stick to filipino food and country profile/culture.

1) find out about a missionary (life, ministry), and cook food from that missionary's country.

2) find out about a missions organisation, e.g. Youth With a Mission (YWAM), find out more about what they do, and create dishes e.g. choc/cheese fondue to symbolize a melting pot of cultures.

3) vietnamese food (beef noodles, spring roll, etc. - easier to cook) and country profile/culture

4) indian food (roti pratas of diff flavours, e.g. ham, cheese & shrooms, choc & banana etc.) and country profile/culture

5) find out more about the situation of the church in England now, and the issues to pray for, then we can still do our english cafe.

6) find out more about students who come from overseas (e.g. China) to study in singapore, and how they feel (lonely? stressed out due to added pressure to do well in school?), how we can reach out to them with the love of Christ etc., and create dishes e.g. a new drink where we can put honey stars and marshmellows in ribena to symbolize a fusion between the china and singapore flags? wahaha. sounds gross. or we can whip up some simple dishes from the countries our foreign student friends come from? this is in line with missions @ our doorstep, where we can reach out to foreigners in our midst :)

hokies, i've said enough. so, what do you girls think? come on come on! we should discuss as much as we can here so that this sun not so "xiong". also, we should do research on more than one idea, so that we get more options, ok? :)

ok, respond, respond! go to www.blogger.com and key in our username and password :) go go go! hehe.

love, adrielle

my grandaunty

2006-08-14T04:12:00.000-07:00

hey guys.. my grandaunt passed away like 2++am this morning. please pray for my family as her death anniversary is only one day after my uncle's.my granddad's is also august. (this is not a good month for my family=P) well...pls keep us in your prayer:) esp the adults

thanks sm

2006-08-10T07:06:00.000-07:00

thanks sher may for linking them. thats very not-lazy of you!
ahaha. hey adrielle. kindness 1 doing a theme based on thailand(hehe snitch)
so maybe we do something globally??

{linz}

goodness retreat :)

2006-08-08T01:48:00.000-07:00

the retreat was really fun for me.

solo night was fun :) i led a blindfolded shermay into the wall. hehehe.

amazing race was cool: nat, shermay, weixuan, weijin and i danced in the fountain @ bugis junction.

the beach was as usual, lovely. i cycled with nat and junie.

late night polar bear and charades were just hilarious. i love yongsheng and dean. they're super funny!

fun aside, i'm reminded from this retreat that drawing closer to God is actually very simple. simply spending 5-10 mins a day reading the bible and praying can make a difference in each day. often times we know it already, but we just don't do it. we give ourselves the excuse that we have no time. but can you imagine how long God has been waiting for us to spend just that 5 mins with Him?

praying for each of us in goodness to really learn to spend quality time with God :)

also, remember to think about the food fair :) think about how we can decorate our stall, what we can sell and how to promote missions!

love, adrielle

back from HK

2006-07-27T19:35:00.000-07:00

hey girls :)

i'm back from HK. firstly, sorry to disappoint you all but everything in HK is expensive, and i couldn't buy something for a few of you and leave some others unhappy. so... i got each of you something small, which you will get on sunday.

the trip was kinda stressful, cos HK is a very crowded place. the shopping was so-so, cos the stuff were not cheap at all (about the same or more ex than SG). but the company was really fun, and on the whole the trip was good.

looking forward to seeing you all this sun :) remember your retreat forms :)

2006-07-23T05:00:00.000-07:00

hi girls :)

i'll be off to hong kong soon. will try to buy the stuff you each requested if i see something nice and affordable. no promises k :)

meanwhile, please memorize the 2 memory verses along the week, and remember to pray as often as you can.

do also try to read the bible at least once this week. if you're lost, you can start with the book of mark or john for easy reading. remember to hear, read, study, memorize and meditate upon the word of God. it's always good to start young :)

"don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity" 1 Tim 4:12
