How can I be sure of my faith?

Today in Alpha we learnt about how we can be sure of our faith, that's through God's promises in the Bible, Jesus' work on the cross and the witness of the Holy Spirit in our lives, changing us from inside out. What was great was the discussion time, where the question was posed; 'that being a Christian changes us - our personality and character. What sort of person would you really like to be?' The boys talked about wanting to be more trustworthy persons, more faithful, more patient, able to walk the talk (or talk the talk & walk the walk) and less lazy. Why it made an impact was because they talked honestly and freely about some of the challenges that they face in their lives, and the ways to overcome them. That was a great time of discussion.

5 of our youths received McD vouchers for bringing new friends, it's a little something to reward them for their effort, thanks everyone! Hope you will enjoy your 'gift.' (Julia, we still owe you yours, hehe)

We also announced to the youths tonight that Stephanie will no longer be serving in the youth ministry from next week onwards due to her other commitments. We thank her for faithfully serving all these years and we pray and wish her all the best in her future undertakings. Thanks, Stephanie for your contribution and support in the youth ministry. We will, of course still see her in church!

Mooncake Harvest Event

Hello everyone! this Saturday we won't be having youth meeting but we're all coming to support the Mooncake Harvest Event, which promises lots of goodies, lots of drama and of course a real good time. As is evident on many occasions, whenever the youths are together, no matter where we are, we will always have a good time! (Remember? those who were stranded in Telupid waiting for an non-existent bus?)So come and attend this function.

As if that's not good enough for you, I just want to tell you that there will be a dance presentation from us during that Event, and I've been told it's all new moves, no copy-cat dance steps, original, fresh and exciting! Geng or not? Don't you wish Saturday was here already? Hang on hang on.. it'll be here soon enough! And for our buddies who are over the sea(s), I'll be videotaping the dance and the general horsing around (oops) to show you how much you're missing, and for you to have sweet memories of when you were in youth and all the crazy moments we had.. which, of course we're not going to state here la.. our parents or other adults reading this might not be able to handle it.. hehehehehe

Last but not least, I want to tell you that there is something special for those who will be coming for this EVENT! truly.. special, once a year kinda thing. I promise. So... 'nuff said, we will see you this Saturday 10 OCT 7.30PM CCL
