A day in history

Today..10th March 2012, we witnessed the first piling which marked the beginning of construction works for our new church building! A day in history...we shall never forget! We give thanks & praise to God for His blessings & providence! By God's grace, we shall have our new church by January 2013!

Young Adults Into the Wild

The Young Adults Ministry (YAM) organised a 2-day 1-night getaway trip to the Borneo Tropical Rainforest in Lambir on 24th-25th March 2012. We had a whole lot of fun...camping, cooking our own meals, jungle trekking, night walks, devotions, pillow talks and just enjoying each others' company as well as God's beautiful creation..the nature surrounding us. It was indeed a time to just chill & retreat into the wild, away from the bustling city life.

Here are some pictures we took during our getaway... :)

X-posed Day Camp 2012

On 10th March 2012, the youths had the X-posed Day Camp 2012 at St. Columba's Parish Hall from 9am-5pm. The X-posed Program is a program targeted for teenagers. It aims to give them basic guides to develop strong spiritual discipline (prayerful life and passion to serve) and also to build strong Christian character as well as learning to share your faith with others. This year we had about 20+ youths joining the program. Most of them are students of the Confirmation Classes.

The program started off with Praise & Worship led by Bro. Tim, a session by Archdeacon Solomon Cheong on 'How to Be An Obedient Christian', a session on 'How to Have a Quiet Time' by Sis. Evonne, a session by Bro. Tim on 'How to Be An Influential Christian', some games, lunch, a short movie on Mother Teresa and a sharing on 'How to Share Your Faith' by Bro. Derek.

Here are some pictures...enjoy!
