Compassionate in Caring :) 131110

ZC this week was different and excellent! :) We continued with the 6 Marks of a New Generation: Compassionate in Caring

Worship was powerful! Praise God! We were reminded that God did not want us to only give to Him all the time (sing, clap, lift hands, kneel etc) but also wanted us to receive (hear Him speak, experience His love etc).

Later on, Pr Sam Krishnan who heads the Breakthrough Drug Rehab was the guest of honour while Jared interviewed him. We really learnt a lot.

Among other things, here are a few:

1) Drugs are but temporal and harmful "escapes". They may help you forget your problems but will not solve them. In fact, they will create more.

2) If you know of someone struggling with drugs and wants to get out, seek help and support when counselling him/her. Don't do it alone.

1 Peter 5:8 - Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Satan will always find opportunities to destroy us.

3) Remember that it is God's grace that we are where we are today. Continue to show love to the needy & underprivileged.

Matthew 25:40 - The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

Just for kicks, here are some examples of signs that were flashed on that day:

A few announcements before I sign off:

Take care & God bless! :)

Super Duper Saturday!

Hello people! :) It was a Super Duper Saturday, wasn't it? It was CG again. =] Our CG`s attendance was exceptional - Yesterday, we saw Jeannette in the pink, and we had Pauline back after a few busy weeks. :D

CG was kicked-off by worship - it was truly a God-moment. :) Let's proceed. Daryll gave us a few announcements ~ whooo! Brief CG meeting.

But then, the funniest moments was when Joshua went out of the room (the first time), Eunice took an opportunity to discuss the CG's surprise for his birthday (thanks to the Loh sisters who planned everything!!) And then the second time when he went out, we were really preparing everything - from the balloons to the cake. Wilson was a good company to Josh meanwhile. :D Amazing! ~

Eventhough Josh actually confessed that he was expecting some sort of surprise, everything fell into place! We celebrated his early birthday.. :) He had a lil' pecan butterscotch cake - after we sang the birthday song; we asked him to pop the balloons in 5 different ways. We laughed heaps. HAHAHA! He reacted in such a rapid way, I believe, Daryll even took a video of him ~

Below are some pictures we took on Saturday - to remember his birthday. =]

After the birthday celebration we partied awhile - with giggles, and excitement - we also ATE some sweets and biscuits! Of course, we prayed a prayer of blessing over Josh at the end.

Thanks a million for the treats, Eunice and Pauline :D We've been blessed. Anyway, before it's too late...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSHUA!! Rock on for JESUS. Cont' to be a blessing to others just as you've been to us in BUCG! :)

1) Worship. It was a powerful time. We asked God for forgiveness and were reminded to draw near to God because He's always waiting for us.

2) Check-in. We went one round just updating each other on how we've been. Interesting stories.

3) Recap & Discussion. Daryll recapped STOP and we discussed our thoughts and struggles too.

4) Pray. We prayed for our upcoming exams (almost everyone had exams coming up).

5) Celebrate. We celebrated Alliyza's 17th birthday, in (let's just say) an interesting way haha ;) Dunkin Donuts. Fake Maze. Candle Blowing. Donut (Cutting &) Eating.
