Hi CFers, trust you've had a good break.
As for the freshmen, hope your classes have been excellent so far!
The theme for CF this year is 'Taking Roots, Bearing Fruits', taken from Galatians 5:22-23. In the words of our Chairperson, Gabriel:
"- Going back to the roots (the word), in turn bearing the fruits of the spirit
- Seeing ourselves as seeds sown by God into the lives of others, taking root meaning being an influence in their lives, and bearing fruits as directing them to God, even salvation
The reason for this theme is to firmly establish CFers in the Word before going out into the marketplace. Working, especially in a secular environment, may cause us to lose our focus on Jesus if our roots are not firmly grounded in our Christian beliefs; just like what Jesus said in the parable of the sower (Matthew 13:1-9).
This coming Wednesday the 1st of September 2010, we're having our first corporate meeting for the 2010/ 2011 academic year! The speaker will be Ps David Lee, the youth pastor of Church of Singapore (Balestier). He was previously the Kent Ridge Hall Varsity Christian Fellowship chairperson for 2 years; a part of our FES family!
Our topic for this session is "Where is God? - (in your life)", focusing on a Christ-centred life as a student. The topic will revolve around Matthew 6:33. Please ask if you have any questions, as there will be a 15-minute Q&A session. "For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." - Luke 11:10 (NKJV).
The venue is LT 2.18 in SIM HQ. We will be meeting at 6.00p.m. for dinner in the canteen, as usual! The session proper will start at 7.00p.m. SHARP, and will last until 10.00p.m..
Please do join us! Contact your CGL if you have any queries. Or, post a question in the tagboard beside with your contact number, and we will get back to you ASAP!
Hope to see you there =)
Thank you, you!
Shalom
Gerald
