Greetings

Alright people! The administrative position has been passed on from Foon Yoong and Jonah to me, whether temporarily or permanently. But the catch is, you will have to guess who. =P

I'm pretty sure that all of you enjoyed the talk (I wouldn't say sermon; that sounds so formal) Pastor Gurmit Singh gave. Bellows of laughter couldn't stop echoing the MPH hall. And boy was he loud(and handsome)! But more importantly, it is my hope that you all have grasped and understood the message he was trying to convey, with the story of Bartimaeus the beggar being the main topic although he talked a little about other things here and there. I am particularly impressed at all the details and facts he went into about beggars. How they had their 'uniform' and stayed in their comfort zone. But Bartimaeus decided to step out of his comfort zone. If you want a change, there is a price that must be paid. The question is, will YOU be willing enough to change for the better, for God's glory?

Okay so that's what happened last Sunday. This coming Sunday we would be breaking up into our small groups.

Keep your eyes peeled 'coz there would be changes made to the blog as well. Have fun guys and girls. =)

Comin this Sunday

Testimony - Prayer Request

Hey guys, received a request from our bro, Roy.

Here's what he shared:

" After 20 years of my life, I finally decided what to do. I've seen signs everywhere and yet I try to deny it till today. I've finally decided to take up teaching and then further study in counseling. I need prayers if I am doing the right thing. Thanks."

• Alright SOS, let's pray for our brother Roy here for the decision that he's going to make and the path that he's going to take in his future will be the right one.

Peace...

Hey guys. Soli for ze late updates. Zis vas vat we did on ze 31st of January.

Alright, let's skip ze weird English.

We just did a random activity. We had to divide ourselves into groups first of course. So we tried a different way of doing it: form a salad or a burger with ourselves (ingredients)

And after that, each group was given 2 words and must perform a short skit that involves those 2 words and we had 2 secret judges.

Everyone got a slot of an ingredient and had to form a group with max: 7 people.

Big Fat Special Chicken Burger

Words: Twilight & Apek from Village

Vegetarian Chicken got the words "Barbie and Maths"

Jonathan is Mr. Barbie.

Wasabian Bun.

Tevin is the Wasabi.

Words: Hallelujah & Hair-fall

Kitty Patty

Devaraj was the main ingredient: Cat Food :-P

Words: Sunsilk & Nasi Lemak

The 2 beautiful secret judges.

The winners!!

BIG FAT SPECIAL CHICKEN BURGER!!

How to do "Pressed Flowers"

Hello ladies,

if you worry how to do the "Pressed Flowers" don't worry. Here's a video. You don't have to use a rose. No roses please. (that will take more than a week) Choose, Ribena flowers (the one you can suck the nectar out), Bougainvillea (Bunga kertas), something small and rather flat as it is.

Here are some videos.. Take a look

You can use dictionaries or really thick encyclopedias too. Not necessarily phone books. If you don't want the pages of the book you're using to get stain, place the flower(s) in between a tissue paper first then place it in the book. Any problems, refer to me.

All the best! Please, do it like immediately. We've got 2 weeks more.

Peace,

P.S: Boys, you guys can help too :-)

Review on Sunday 24/01/10

Hey Youths,

Sorry for the delay of the update. Here it is.

We had a speaker from FGA Kota Damansara this Sunday, Ch'ng Poh Leong and he talked about "Worship" and there is one thing we should always remember. We worship WITH the Spirit inside us.

Ch'ng Poh Leong

All attentively listening to the sharing. =)

Here are some bible verses that he had mentioned during the sharing.

Romans 12:1 - And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice--the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. [NLT]

John4:19-20 - Sir," the woman said, "you must be a prophet. So tell me, why is it that you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place of worship, while we Samaritans claim it is here at Mount Gerizim, where our ancestors worshiped? [NLT]

Amos 5:21 - I hate all your show and pretense--the hypocrisy of your religious festivals and solemn assemblies. I will not accept your burnt offerings and grain offerings. I won't even notice all your choice peace offerings. Away with your noisy hymns of praise! I will not listen to the music of your harps. Instead, I want to see a mighty flood of justice, an endless river of righteous living. [NLT]

And that's about it. =)
