Hey people,

Lent begins this week with the start of Ash Wednesday. On Ash Wednesday, the priest rub ashes on our forehead with the words "Turn away from sin and be faithful to the gospel." a reminder of our baptismal promises to reject sin. It calls us to conversion, to move away from sin and towards Christ. Lent is a period of conversion! Are you once again ready to move towards Christ?

1) Lent cell - Join us in this week's 1st session of Lent. Rediscover the Temptations of Jesus through a short activity, Bible and small group sharing. 8.30pm, The Lighthouse, 27 March.

2) There Will be Blood movie screening - The movie follows the rise and fall of a ruthless oil tycoon who fleeces a poor central California family of their land, and eventually finds himself pitted against one of the family's sons, a charismatic preacher. A movie that forces us to re-examine our choices: God or money? 8.00pm, The Lighthouse, 28 March. Bring a friend and a pkt of chips along:)

3) Tuition group - Tuition starts again this Sunday from 1pm - 3pm in the Lighthouse. Interested to help or to join? Email back or call Joachim at 92394826.

3) Youth Alpha - There will be no Youth Alpha session this week due to the Youth Forum.

3) Evening for Youth - An evening of P&W and teaching! It's all happening on 28 March in St Ignatius Church! Interested participants can please email back or call Joachim @ 92394826 to register.

4) F.A.S.T - A 30 hour fast in Church of the Holy Spirit on 7 to 8 March from 11.30am onwards, to raise funds for Catholic Charities week. For registration please email 30hourfast@gmail.com or visit www.acts29mission.org.

Last but not least, we do not forget about Youth Forum 09! It's all happening in our parish's hall on 1st March, 11.45am to 3pm. One size does not fit all and so we present our different youth ministries, groups and activities to you! Includes food, music and sharing. Registration is free with door gifts! T-shirts are still on sale to raise funds for our activities and programs for 2009.
Ages: 13 - 25.

Peace,
Joachim

Hey,
It was a great week last week. Especially over the weekend when our first batch of Youth Alpha participants went for their weekend away, a small retreat that left so many blessed and burning for God.As the year rightly starts again after the Chinese New Year, the BLYM calendar is starting to fill up with lots of activities.

1) Cell group as usual this Friday, 8.30pm at the Lighthouse. This week's alphabet of the A-Z programme is S which stands for Seed.

2) We have a fairly new ministry under our wing, the Media Ministry. Come join us if you have interest in copywriting, journalism, photography, videography etc. Contact Terence @ 96656032 for more details.

3) Another up and coming ministry is our Music Ministry for those of us who are interested in singing or playing music for God, come join us! Call Michael @ 94765852 for an audition.

4) Youth Forum 09. Coming soon! A forum where we youth can speak and be heard. Also, come if you wish to know more about the ministry, the parish or... well, anything, really. (I could even give you an explanation on why the sky is blue if you want)

5) We are once again holding the Tuition Group. It's going to start on the 1st of March, Sunday, from 1 to 3 p.m. Primary and Secondary levels are welcomed. Joachim @ 92394826 with your preferred subjects, school lvl (primary or secondary), name and contact.
