Hey people!
There was a great turnout for August Rush movie screening on Satuday and we thank those who had attended.. Time flies fast. In just a few more days, we will be celebrating Christmas and a brand new 2009! People are scurrying here and there to get their hands on some last minute Christmas shopping and decorations. In the process of preparing for holidays, that's not forget about the main cause for celebration and that's JESUS! Yup and so from all of us here at Bridging Light Youth Ministry, we wish you a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year! Looking forward to seeing you at our events in 2009!

Are you lonely tonight?....3rd advent cell
harlow! Sorry for the super delayed postings.
Here's our short advent cell summary last friday after the commemoration mass for Fr David.
Yes. Loneliness.
What does it mean to you? what is your own experience of loneliness?
Many a times, even when we're surrounded by friends and families,
we could still feel a certain kind of "loneliness" or emptiness.
Something seemed to be missing.
No matter how hard we try to fill in the emptiness
it'll still eventually come back to us.
Just like how John the Baptist had proclaimed that
he was unable to "satisfy" the hungry hearts of the people
It is Jesus who will give us the ultimate fulfillment and baptise us with the Holy Spirit
BUT, that is provided we allow Him to do that.
To seriously invite God into our lives and
to be able to hear His voice that cries out in the wilderness.
Besides administering to ourselves,
let us also be reminded to bring light of Christ and of hope
to people around us.
Really, to make straight the way of the Lord is not easy
and it comes in many forms and means.
But when we do it, we could curb that "loneliness" that reside
in our hearts.
I had a good confession on Monday.
Short and sweet but right to the core.
And it took great courage and many years!!...
I felt God's immense love and mercy when the priest said,
"I absolved you from your sins!"
I have attempted to make a difference
So can you. =)
lol....so propaganda...

Hey people,
As we approach the last week of Advent, it's time for us to do our Confession! Many youths had asked me "Why can't I confess my sins directly to God? Why must I confess to a priest?" Let me try to give you an answer: The priest is the direct representative of God to us on Earth. True, he's a mortal with sins but he's also given the power to absolve us from sins. God is giving us the grace to be forgiven! So why not take this chance? Moving on...
1) Advent cell - Last week of Advent sessions! Join us in this last round of preparation for Advent on 19 December Friday, 8pm in the Lighthouse!
2) An Advent movie screening, August Rush - A drama with fairy tale elements, where an orphaned musical prodigy uses his gift as a clue to finding his birth parents through a musical journey. Bring a friend and a packet chips along! Tissue boxes are provided. 20 December, Saturday, 8.15pm in the Lighthouse!
3) Youth Alpha - It's onto the 3rd session this week. Still interested? Celine is the person to contact @ 90906469.
4) Youth Mass - We need your help! After half a year trial of Youth Mass, we are pausing to reflect. We need your feedback through this online survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=QdQFP1uC0d3LnjMkF9wbcA_3d_3d. It will take not more then 5 minutes of your time:)
