Connect Group this Saturday

Hey Gals.

It feels like ages since i have caught up with all of you!
The photos look great!

I've been reflecting on how good God has been to us this year, uniting and drawing us closer to Him & with one another.

I know we are drawing an end of the year and exams are coming up etc. but God hasn't finish with each of us and/or the group. He has been revealing to me things to step forward in as we continue on this journey together. :o) Let us not allow Him to be displace or become a genie during exams / busy schedules and seek His face, read His Word, spend time in His presence only for help.

We will not have our weekly Saturday gatherings from November in order for you to be able to give your best to your studies.

Before breaking away for summer vacation, lets have a end-of-exam celebration and farewell for the year! It will either be on the Sat, 17 Nov (depending on what time Sarah & Mich's exam finishes) or Sunday, 18 Nov.

I am aware that it doesn't seem likely we will complete the Draw Near series. On one hand I would love to complete it but at the same time, I don't want us to rush through it for the sake of having to finish it.

For this Saturday, we will be assisting in the hospital renovation. Lets get on board with what our Family is doing to reach out to the community.

The 'why' behind participating shouldn't be any different from that of coming to connect group. After being fed weekly on Sundays, during discipleship and in our own quiet time with God, let us step out now to make a difference :o)

It will be fun to get our hands dirty together, get to meet & serve alongside others.

It would also be a great opportunity to invite your friends along! As you know, yet-to-be christians may not respond that well to coming for a church service, but some wouldn't mind or would like to be part of 'doing' something. It would be a great opportunity for them to meet others in a non-threatening environment.

To assist the Church in facilitating this huge project, can you please get back to me if you are not able to make it? Also, I would need the names of your friends who would love to come and help as well. Food will be provided.

If I dont hear from you, I will assume that everyone will be coming along just like if we were to be watching a Draw Near DVD.

There are 4 shifts on Saturday. As Connect Group normally starts at 4pm, we will go for the 4pm shift. We have to be there at 3.30pm for a half an hour induction. And though the shift completes at 10pm, its is perfectly fine to leave earlier. I have spoken to the person-in-charge, and say we would leave around 7pm. We will go for dinner and have an early night rest.

Look forward to seeing you tomorrow at GenFest!
