Easter break week

Hello awesome OCFers!

Hope this finds you well and happy that there’s no school for a whole week!

From Friday to Monday, 40+ of us were at OCF Victoria’s Easter Camp! I don’t know how exactly you felt about it, but I do believe that each one of us who went gained something, be it from the fellowship, God, the speaker, the food, games or whatever else. Personally, I thought centre sharing every night was one of the best parts :)

There is great UNITY among us as we all are bound together in “one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all” (Ephesians 4:5)! I was encouraged to see so many of you newer OCFers at camp, and enjoying it and being so comfortable with everyone else! You know, there is just so much POTENTIAL in all you guys and I believe there is a hunger in each one of us.

It is my prayer that we will continually seek God and long for more of Him! As we do so with all our heart, we will find Him and get to know more of Him and fall even more in love with Him (Jeremiah 29:12-14) as we realise how MUCH He means to us, and how worthy He is of all our praise and adoration! Let’s even remember to worship God with our minds, so we may know His good, pleasing and perfect will (Romans 12:2 – camp theme!), so that we can, In His Presence, ACT on what He calls us to! That’s IMPACT, btw – the OCF Clayton 2009 theme. In case you forgot! :D haha.

Okays now, some updates...



Games day – Saturday, 18 April

Games day at Jell’s Park (aka nice, happy, green, big space to have fun in!)
Meet 12noon. We’ll end at about 3ish.
At Robert Blackwood hall in Monash Uni, and we’ll head there together.

It’s basically cell-based games (competition!) and um if I remember correctly, there’ll be free food too! Feel free to bring friends, especially those who went for the Ballarat Wildlife Park trip but don’t join regular OCF sessions. Please contact your cell leader to inform of your attendance.

Also, no Leading Edge session this week. We’ll inform you of the next session soon!



Planetshakers conference – Wed (today) + Thu (tmr)

The Planetshakers conference is on! Some of us OCFers have been going for the full conference, with more joining at night for the free night rally. The atmosphere is great! The presence of God is there and we’ve been really blessed by the freedom in the worship and empowering teachings of great men and women of God.

7.30pm at Hisense Arena (short 10 min walk from Richmond station)
FREE entry. Bring friends!
Call Ivie/Faith for enquiries. We’ll help you book seats or give necessary directions too! Find out more at http://www.planetshakers.com/conf09/index.php

Ivie and myself encourage you to come with your friends for the next two night sessions to receive and be refreshed and rejuvenated by God. We really believe this is something beneficial for everyone!



Monash Uni Clayton campus prayer and fasting

Last year, a movement began in our uni; a movement where all the Christian groups on campus got together and prayed and fasted for 40 days because we wanted to see more of Christ on our campus. We’ll be doing it again this year! Isn’t it great to be able to take part in furthering God’s kingdom! We really want to be united as one as Christians on campus despite coming from different backgrounds and clubs, and claim this campus for Christ, amen?! More details coming soon.



And last thing…

Happy birthday to these people!

In His neverfailing love,
Faith :)
