BLYM Weekly Updates

FEASTDAY! Feastday was startling existing. Ridiculously tiring but so fun! Our games stall proved to be a hit with many of the youth, young and old, and the effects of which were so satisfying to see. I sincerely hope that the funds raised will be sufficient to make our church a prettier looking place.

On an unrelated note, I would also like to publicise the recycle bins that have been places in our church carpark, next to the priests' cars. Please please PLEASE use them. God gave us responsibility over the Earth, we should protect it as much as we can.

On yet another unrelated note, our neighbouring parish, St Ignatius, is looking for another youth worker to help the current one. If you are interested, email back and we will help you get in touch with the appropriate people.

Ok, on to the updates:

1. Cell Group this Friday at 8 p.m. at the Lighthouse. Sr Rose will be coming to give another session on Non-Violent Communication. Call patricia @. 91135139 for more details.

2. BLYM will be running a series of four Advent sessions on Fridays. Come and prepare yourselves for the Birthday of our Saviour.

3. A bunch of crazy people *ahem* I mean, uhm... Children of God? (read: the Youth Team) have organised a trip to Pulau Ubin. It will be held in late November. Sign up by emailing back to join us for the trip. We need to know how many people want to go.

4. Youth Alpha for youth aged 15 to 19 is going to be run in our parish. The sessions will help you ask and answer some insightful questions on the God whom we've learned about but have never quite known about. The sessions will also help fill the stomach the kind Lord gave us ;) .Call Celine for more details @ 90906469.

5. Lourdes Experience - Lourdes Experience on Dec 6 needs young people as helpers. We are called to see our brothers and sisters in each other so let's start by with our fellow Singaporeans in this event.

6. We can help! - Tuition group every Sunday for upcoming exams. Contact Joachim @ 92394826, with your specified subjects, age, name and contact number.

Ok then, happy Monday to all of you!

God bless,

BLYM Weekly Updates

The blood donation drive last Sunday was great. The response was amazing and so many of our youths came forward to donate their precious young blood, literally! We want to thank all of the donors, of blood, of food and of prayers, because your gift has played a part in saving someone's life.

The updates this week are pretty straightforward, so less to type, hehe.

1. Cell Group this Friday at 8.15 p.m. at the Lighthouse, as always. This week will be the last of three sessions given by Sr Rose on Non-violent Communication.

2. Tuition every Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m. For those who are interested, let us know the subjects you need. Call Joachim @ 92394826 or email back.

3. Youth Alpha is coming soon!

With God's love,

BLYM Weekly Updates

In light of the new month, no pun intended, the youth of SFA have decided to name the Youth Room, THE LIGHTHOUSE. Sounds pretty and bright eh? Let the Lighthouse be a beacon for those who are lost in rough waters to know that dry land is near. And everyone is welcome in the SFA's Lighthouse. Especially (but not just) for quiet time be it for prayer or study.
Babbling aside, here are the updates:

1. There will be no cell group this Friday as the Coreteam will be having their recollection day. We do, however, ask all of you to pray for us. That the Lord give us guidance and clarity and charity.

2. Youth Mass will be, as usual, on the first Saturday of the month which is the 6th of September. There will also be a screening of the movie "Sliding Doors" after the Mass up in The Lighthouse (feels nice as it rolls out my fingers). Come, and bring a friend while you're at it!

3. Youth Choir is still in want of melodic voices and talents in musical instruments. If you can commit every once a month, do join us! call Joachim @ 92394826 or email back.

4. The blood donation drive is but two weeks away, the 14th of September. I hope you are keeping healthy if you've signed up as a donor. And for those who want to sign up, it's not too late! Just reply to this email with your name, age, blood type, email address, contact no and preferred time slots in terms of half an hour (eg: 9, 9.30, 10).

5. Secondary school level tuition is held on Sundays in the Lighthouse from 1 to 3 p.m. Interested teachers and students, call (or email) Joachim.

6. The WYDians are having their photo exhibition this Saturday and Sunday near the canteen.

7. Shine Jesus Shine: Monday, 08 Sept, 7.30pm, Novena Church

8. Amplify in the City: Friday 12 September, 7.45pm, NTUC Business Centre

9. Missionary trip by Acts29 to Philippines on Dec 1. Contact Joachim @ 92394826.

*tired from typing*

That's a lot of stuff coming up!
Hope to see you there.
