gravy
GRAVY: Get the Gravy! Now you are a smart one! The
gravy is the most important part of the feast.
The turkey, stuffing, potatoes, all are nothing
without the Gravy. By taking control of the
gravy, you have taken control of the entire
Christmas Day feast! Great Strategic
move!

Just me and simply me. I dun need to do anything to gain your love and u accept me just as i am. Forgive me when i forget the depth of your love and even drift away from it. Thank you for the greatest act of your love, Your son Jesus Christ. Thank you for the greatest Gift i can ever receive. Thank you for Christmas =)

anyone has camp photos??

Suddenly realised that we didnt take many pictures in camp. Let me know if you have!!!
Enough has been said. Enough has been taught. Now's the time to turn the talk into reality. From now till end of Jan, its going to be a no-holds barred effort to reach and retain 700 people in our Saturday side of the student ministry. Like I had said, one of the best way for us to make a global impact is through our local ministry. We need to build a world-class strong and biblical group to touch the sin-sicken world. And the time is now!

May God bless us. Let's work as if it all depends on us. Let's pray as if it all depends on God.

From,
Ps Jeff

Firstly was the rc fund. We are to pay our RC fund on Wed and we fall short of $500 on Sunday. But after yesterday's collection and some pple who promised to give certain amount by Wed, we only fall short of $80!

Have such a fruitful time in the retreat
My bones are aching cos it's been some time since I've exercised.
But I have enjoyed myself thoroughly.

This retreat was quite different from the previous one. We have more fellowship and interaction. Had steamboat on Sat night, initially I was afraid that we do not have enough food but in the end we had more than enough. There are still some leftover sausages and stuffs in the fridge, please cook them for your CG today :)

Then Peter and David started telling us a very loonngggggggg and lame story. They refused to tell us the ending of the story. But guess what, luan told me the ending last night and I really feel like bashing them up :|

Then we had this ice breaker in which you have to draw out your strengths, weakness and what you want to be in fifteen years time. Its amusing to see their drawings and what they wanna be. Majority wants to be a church planter, preacher and worship leader. We have one who wants to get married, another who wants to have children and drive them around in a car??

Ron taught me to play Risk. After seeing you guys so hooked on this game, I've finally get to have a taste of it. Ron is such a good player :) Its only fun to play this game if you are winning.

Sunday was great! We had breakfast (all diff "style" of eggs), worship, teaching, basketball, fitness corner and Risk and more risk.

I think what makes the retreat enjoyable is the people. Its great to fellowship with people who have the same heart, same purpose and vision for the Lord.

For those who are there, thanks for creating such wonderful memories together! Lets continue to charge forward for the Lord and see many more joining us in this superb vision =)
