Hey people,
A Happy Lunar New Year to you! Hope that you had a good day of rest and recieved lots of ang bows! We have a whole list of activities/programs for you this Year of the Ox 2009, starting with Youth Forum 09 in Feb! Can't wait? You still have to! In the meantime, we have all these updates for you!
1) Cell group - This Friday, 'Q', 8.30pm in the Lighthouse.
2) Youth Alpha - Youth Alpha is off this week due to CNY:)
3) Music Ministry - Missed our last auditions? Don't worry! Another round of auditions will be held this Sunday, 1st Feb in the basement at 11.45am. Please contact Michael for more details @ mike_tsh@yahoo.com.
4) Media Ministry - A talented batch of youths are setting up a Media Ministry! Are you interested in photography, videographing, graphics, etc? If yes, this is the Ministry for you! Recruitment starts on 7 Feb. Please contact Terence for more details @ terencetay.net@gmail.com.
While we are celebrating CNY in Singapore, let's not forget about our brothers and sisters in other war-torn places like Gaza; the people in Myanmar; the people in Cambodia and many more places. If you like, you can keep aside some money from your ang bows to help these people. Why not pass them to the people who are doing a Cambodia missionary garage sale this week? Or pass some to Father Michal for the people in Myanmar? It's the CNY so let's learn to give!
Peace,Joachim

Oppression - Cell group 8 January
Cell started again as usual with a small group of us coming together to share on "Oppression". What is oppression? It is the mental burden of carrying something or being resisted.
Etc: I'm being oppressed by my parents because they nag at me; I'm being oppressed by my boss in the workplace because they give me a lot of work.
What about you? Are you oppressed in either your workplace, school or home? Sometimes, it's our loved ones that give us the bulk of oppression. Most of us shared on how our friends and non-Christian relatives questioned us on our religious beliefs (etc: Why do Catholics worship Mary? FYI: We do NOT WORSHIP MARY! We honor her as the mother of God! John 19: 26-27).
Oppression from our family members also comes in the form of ridiclude. One shared on how her brother questioned her being so holy molly in Church but does not live out her Christian ways at home. Another shared about the frustrations of having a whole family in the Catholic faith but does not practice it. In what ways are you oppressed?
Oppression also exist in a very real sense within the world: terrorism, economic crisis, war, famine, governments oppressing the people instead of helping them...
The point is wherever you go, you will be faced with oppression from friends, family members and colleagues. Oppression in your faith, your religious beliefs, your working style... It will always be open to comments from others. These comments hurt and cause us mental anguish. How then to battle this oppression? First you pray and secondly you relax. Pray not to change the others but pray to change yourself first. The way you respond to others will either ease or up your own mental anguish.. Secondly, you relax because no one thinks alike!
"God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other."
