Haluo awesome Claytonites!
Now, how many of you are chanting,
I can do this, I can do this, I can do this, or
Just a bit more, just a bit more. The holidays will be here soon, c'mon... or
I! NEED! MORE! TIMEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Ha. Well, whichever it is, press on! The end is near :D So everyone, be good and study well just for a while more! Then, after two weeks of (official) holidays, the next semester begins again - more studying! Whoohoo! Muahaha. Heh. Sorry if I was a killjoy there for a moment! Just needed my bit of fun :D But ya really, PRESS ON.
Okay, my nonsense aside...some of us have had papers already and well, hope they went alright! Let's turn our eyes to other things for a moment, ehs?
Exam prayer at Narthex (religious center) every morning (9.30 - 10.30)
We've been gathering daily (weekdays) to pray for those having exams, amongst other stuff, and it has been great! It's been encouraging to see quite a number of us come to seek God first thing in the morning even though it may sometimes be tough to wake early and even walk in the morning rain on some days. But in the end, it's worth starting the day right with an hour in God's presence, with His people! In a way, it is also about putting others before ourselves as we spend that time worshipping God in song, and interceding for others! So come join us okay? And see what you're missing out on! :P
Know that you're not alone in this exams. We're praying for you, everyday!
Blessing ministry
Went well! Our cakes ran out pretty fast. Thank you to all who came! We may have shivered in the cold evenings, and sometimes things like that may seem itsy and insignificant, but you know, everything counts in the kingdom of God. Through blessing ministry, we were loving people through serving them (:
Home groups on Friday
Your cell group leaders will update you on what's going on!
Winter camp registration
What are you waiting for? Sign up now! From what God has birthed in the hearts of the comm, I believe this is going to be a camp where God will refresh and challenge us - to be ready because I believe. To sign up, follow the instructions at Ezpz manz. Hope to see you there, with the friend you're going to bring along to share this goodness with! :D
-
Press on with the mugging. Don't let all that info fry your brains too much. Remember to take a breather.
God says, "my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9). In times when we are weak, that is where God shows His power through the grace that He gives you, which enables you to go through and do things, some-how (I like to say, God-how)!
I know and believe this - we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength (:
In His ever-present love,
Faith!
Okay back to doing my essay...

Exam prayer + Blessing ministry
Don't know if anyone reads this, but I'm going to blog this anyway! Maybe this blog will revive and be useful some day :P
We had our first prayer session for this exam session earlier this morning! 9.30am at Narthex at Religious Center (round building between campus center and matheson library). Sometimes we need to just take the focus off ourselves, and fix our eyes upon Him, and also look at and pray for the needs of others ya? So that's what we did this morning, and it was refreshing! After that we headed to Grain Express at the campus center for breakfast and talked a lot before remembering that exams were coming up so it would be a good idea to study :P
It's always good to be in His presence and among His people!
There was blessing ministry after, with the Gila Gila Galatians and On-Corians (or Coryberries) and it was good! In a way, thank God it was drizzling because that meant we could "set up shop" nearer the library's doors and hence were a bit nearer to the warmth in the library.
Okays hope to see you tomorrow! This prayer thing is on till the last day of exams! So come join us! (:

It's Swot Vac, have a Big Mac!
Hey beloved friends,
How good was it to gather together for our final time last Friday?! =) we hope that God has empowered you to face the next 20 days of studying and exams. but like we shared, exams come and go, but OCF does NOT go to sleep! we've got an eternal mission here! =)
OCF DURING SWOT VAC
Blessing Ministry at Matheson Library (5-7pm)
Monday : enCOR & Gila-gila Galatians
Tuesday : Cocopops & The Onion Titans
Wednesday : StarPHIsh & Hippie Ephes
How does making coffee create a loving IMPACT? Well when Christ comes again, the righteous will answer him, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?" ... The King will reply "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." Matt 25:40.
*Also, coffee-making skills is a PLUS++ in life, boys and girls! =)
Exam Prayer at Narthex every morning (9.30 - 10.30)
Let's start our day the right way! An hour in God's presence will do wonders for your other 10 hours of studying. Each one of us, let's devote this time to Him, saying "God, come what may, i'm here at 9.30 every morning to meet with You, come and meet with me." So see you there, you'll be blessed! =)
Home groups on Fridays
Your cell group leaders will update you on what's going on! So go, enjoy and relax with each other! =)

Week 13
Hey warriors,
*Please come out from under those books for a minute..* =)
It's finally here! WEEK THIRTEEN! We're getting closer and closer to our exams, but that also means that we're nearing our eagerly-expected holidays and also the super-duper Winter Camp in July! So let's march into this with heads held up high, higher than the mountain before us. All because we know that if God is on our side, then who can be against us?
THIS WEEK AT OCF **drum roll**
· Special guest speaker - Jensen Ma!
He is the dear advisor of OCF Melbourne, and is coming to speak on "The Cross : It's meaning and power". WOW! You don't wanna miss out on such a significant revelation! We're also having a CELEBRATION after that, so remember to wear your Cell Colour Code, and see you bright and early! R3, 7pm. (Prayer meet at 6.20pm).
· Winter Camp - ARE.YOU.COMING?!
Come on guys, Winter Camp only visits us once a year. Let's not pass on this opportunity to draw closer to Him, and also to enjoy each other with much fun and food (home cooked with honey and love!). Also, bring a friend along (how bout that friend you brought to FOF?). We're praying to see hearts moved and lives changed at camp. So see you there! =) 3-5 July, only $70.
· Weekly OCF prayer.
Every week, we set aside an hour to come together to pray and to encourage each other. Do join us if you have a free lunch break, as we stand in the gap for our brothers and sisters!
Wednesday 12 - 1pm at Narthex, Religious Centre
Friday 3.30 - 4.30pm at Piano Rooms, Campus Centre Basement
OCF DURING EXAMS
· Blessing Ministry during Swot Vac (5-7pm)
Swot Vac is a time where people stress the most, so let us share the peace and love of God with everyone, blessing them with some steaming hot coffee/chocolate and cookies as they walk in and out of the library. Two cell groups will work together each night, so check with your leaders! =)
· Exam Prayer every morning (9.30 - 10.30)
Starting next Monday, we'll be coming together every morning to pray - what better way to start your day?! The Word of God says, "Do not be anxious about anything (your exams), but in everything.. present your requests to God.. and the peace of God.. will guard your hearts and minds.." Phil 4:6
· Home groups on Fridays
We will no longer meet in R3, but in your respective home groups during the exam period. Cozy little home groups. Approach cell group leaders for more details! =)
Awesome! =) Before i leave, wanna share something with you. OCF Clayton appeared on Malaysian news! YAAHEEY! Be encouraged, that could be YOU in 20 years. So yes, it's all worth it. Studying for exams, honouring God, loving people.. All worth for His kingdom! =)
