2009_03_22 - SMCGC Newsletter 2

Dearest SMCGC members,

How’s life going on?! I bet everyone must be starting to get their hands dirty (if u can get what I mean). I myself am already in FYP stress!! Can you believe it?! In just Week 4, I am already working till midnight, “driving night car” (direct translation from Mandarin). Anyway, just want to remind you all to stay healthy, don’t follow my footsteps. Learn to manage your time wisely, and I’m sure we can all get through this with the grace of God!! =)

Coming up this following week and into the month of April, is the Holy week, which is the last week of Lent, the week before Easter. The time when Jesus had his last supper with his disciples, went through the crucifixion, died and resurrected. Let us prepare our hearts in commemorating all these meaningful events, and also take this chance to appreciate and be thankful of what Jesus has done for us, dying on the cross to cleanse our sins. Do take note the following programs/services,

9th April (THUR), 730PM - Maundy Thursday/Last Supper Service (Mandarin)
10th April (FRI), 730PM - Good Friday Service (English)
12th April (SUN), 800AM - Easter Sunday Service (Mandarin)
12th April (SUN), 1000AM - Easter Sunday Service (English)

Also coming up is the “Sexual & Intimacy” talk organized by the Mandarin fellowship, on 27th March (FRI), 730PM. Come and learn how the Bible teaches us on handling sexual and intimacy issues in our relationships. Do invite your friends to join too.

Mandarin fellowship will also be organizing a one day trip to Bekenu Beach on 18th April (SAT), 800AM to 400PM. This will be something filled with sun, fun, and water!! If interested, please register with Sis. Angnes Tiong. Registration fee is just RM10. Limited seats, so be fast!!

The District mini sports day is on 1st May (FRI), 700AM to 1200PM. SMCGC is forming a team to represent in the games. If you have the gut, the stamina, or just looking for plain FUN and sweats, do sign up with bro. Ryan Lau.

SMCGC is also planning a short term mission trip to Sungai Plan and University Putra Malaysia (UPM) in Bintulu from 17th to 19th of July. The mission team is still lacking of 4 members. If you can speak English and Bahasa Malaysia, and have the burden to do mission, please register with Pastor Connie.

That’s all from me for now. I pray that God’s blessing will be upon all of us, no matter in our studies, our work, our spiritual growth and our physical health conditions.. May God also empower us to do good in everything, to live a Holy Christian life, so as to able to touch the hearts of others who are in need of God’s love. Amen!!
