Dear all Walkers,
It's mid-week and mid-month once again! We have just celebrated our parish feastday and our cafe, called "Heaven's Manna" this year, was a great success, raising almost $300 more than last year for the parish. A big THANK YOU to all who have helped out in one way or another - t-shirt sales, cake sales, waiting on tables, dish-washing, serving food, etc etc etc... More so, the youths of Nativity helped us greatly on their own accord, so let's all praise God for a great community and the support we have in this parish! Since we're all recovering from the endeavour, i shall spare you the lame joke this week. Let's look at what is coming up on Sunday!
This Sunday in CG
We resume our CG with Adeline and Amanda's very special series on Love, based on C.S. Lewis' "The Four Loves". Amanda has already sent you the reading on AFFECTION to be covered this Sunday, please do take some time to read it first so that we can have a quicker CG :)
Announcements
1) End-Year Retreat: Man in the Mirror (18 - 22 Dec, Malacca)
As we enter the final stages of preparation for EYR, here are two pointers to note:
a) Hour of Prayer (Sundays, 1600-1700) Knowing that prayer forms the backbone of our plans and guides our decisions, we need to intensify our prayer efforts to ensure things go smoothly and in accordance to His will. Hence, the EYR committee will meet on Sundays at 1600hrs for an hour of prayer. Do join them if you are free, and we hope that you continue to pray for the EYR - preparations, planners, participants - and may it be a fruitful endeavour to grow the youth of Nativity.
b) Facilitators wanted If you wish to help as a facilitator (and we do need several facilitators), contact Isis or Jerry and they will give you more information on the preparation sessions required. Facilitators play a crucial role in bringing each session to the participants, so please be generous with your talents!
2) Discernment Tools Workshop for young men and women (9-10 October, 9am - 5pm both days)
If you have no idea how to go about finding the meaning of your life, the Archdiocese has just the right event for you! The seminarians at Punggol are organising this workshop that promises to equip you witht he right tools so that you can discern about your vocation: singlehood, married life, priesthood, religious life, etc. For more information, go to http://www.sfxms.org.sg/discern_tools_Oct10.html. Early bird discount closes 26 Sep, so don't hesitate too long!
3) Confirmation Camp (4 -7 Nov, Nativity Church)
Facilitators are needed for Confirmation Camp. Do approach Sebby if you would like to help. Confirmation is not the end of growing in knowledge and love of God, it is merely the beginning, so do help spread this message to our Confirmands!
Ok that's all from me, see you all on Sunday!
In His Love,
barry
