Launching of Alpha

After all the preparation, Youth Alpha was launched this evening. I was really pleased to see four new friends tonite, and we announced tonight that our members who brought new friends will get something nice next week. This goes on for the whole 10 weeks of Alpha, whoever bring new friends will get something nice as an appreciation of their effort. A few weeks ago, we had a short time of reflection on who we will bring for Alpha and I'm glad to note that these four friends were among the names that were written and prayed for to join us. Praise the Lord for answering our prayers!

All the youth leaders worked together to make sure everything ran smoothly, from the sound system, worship, setting up of the hall, refreshment and also the sharing. Thank you leaders for your hard work.

The BM youth nicely swapped halls with us so we used Alpha hall tonite, and will do so for the rest of the Alpha course. The setting up was really nice, with pillows and sweets all ready for everyone. I think the pillows were the most sought after tonite, everyone was grabbing them, especially the big plushy ones! I hope they will last the whole 10 weeks, what with everyone having pillow fights every so often! BUT, it's all part of the fun tonite!

The Meaning of Life

What is the meaning of life? Is there more to life than what we're going through now? Wake up, get ready for school, breakfast, sleep in car on way to school, lessons, tuition, homework, dota etc.. is there all that there is? Maybe wait till you leave secondary school, go college/uni, get a degree, get a job, get a wife/husband, get children.. grow old, die. Full stop? Is that what life's all about? Or is there more to life than that?

Have you ever wondered about these things? Do you have questions that you wish someone would answer them? Is there a way to fill the emptiness that you feel inside you?

Come attend youth alpha, a course which is designed for teens to explore and discover what is this thing they call Christianity, the people who call themselves Christians, that Jesus person that they follow.. a course which allows you to ask questions without making you feel like a weirdo.. come..

We invite you to join us for 10 weeks starting from 26 Sept till early Dec, every Saturday nite at 8pm - 9.30pm at Christ Church Likas Alpha Hall. You need help getting there? Call us at the church office at 426313 during office hours and we'll help you. Come join us!
