BLYM Weekly Updates

Hey guys,



When I went to work last Friday, the first sign that caught my eye at my workplace door was "MJ had died. Let's observe a moment of silence for him." Then there was the mad rush of news of his death and the mad rush of songs delicated to him. I like some of his songs but sometimes I wonder, why is there so much news of just one super pop star's death?

What about the rest of the people who are barely surviving? Why can't we concetrate on people like this little gal Charmaine who's fighting for her life and featured on CNA: http://ourfeistyprincess.com/index.php and like Matthew, the little boy, whom Father Michal led a donation cause for?

Think about it.

1) t3 Bible Studies - Wow, the fifth session "Royal Kingdom/ Divided Kingdom".

2) Tuition class are going on as usual on Sunday afternoons for primary and secondary school curriculums. If you are interested to teach or to learn, please call Joachim @ 92394826.

3) Sports Ministry - If you are a young person aged 16 - 35 and is interested in starting a sports related interest group (basketball, netball, bowling, badminton...), why not form a group of 5 or more interested 'kakis' and approach the Youth Ministry to start it?

7) A CHANCE NOT TO BE MISSED! - St. Mary of the Angels will be hosting a nationwide Great Adventure Bible Seminar this July 24-25th. For the first time, Thomas Smith, part of the team of the Great Bible Adventure Studies program and an internationally acclaimed scripture scholar, has been invited to Singapore to illuminate the Word over two amazing days in July. Thomas will be focusing on this year's Bible Sunday theme, 'A God Who Speaks', revealing the voice of God as spoken through the prophets of the Old Testament up to the Book of Revelation. Per pax: $20.

Also, exclusive sessions on the New Evangelisation and Christian Discipleship will be held for youth and young adults (13-35) on July 26th. Targeted at those in Youth Ministries, doing youth work or doing catercists for young people.
