It's already week 5!

Hello OCF Claytonites!

How's it been this week? Sure hope that you guys enjoyed the ultra funny Cultural Night last Friday =P
Anyway, looking forward to this week, here is what's happening!


Prayer Meeting - Wednesdays, 2-3pm @ piano rooms (campus centre basement)
Why do we need to pray? Because it's the backbone for everything. Spending time in God's presence is precious and passionate, plus something always happens when many people get together to pray. It doesn't matter how eloquent or simple your prayers are, it's the heart's cry that matters. So come join us in prayer, for OCF, for our campus, and for the nations.


J-week! - this Wed and Thu
We will meet at the booth set up in front of the religious centre (between Matheson Library and Campus Centre). The booth is shared with other clubs so don't worry if you see other people you don't know there. Here are the cell slots [cell leaders names are in brackets just in case you forgot your cell's name ;) ]

Weds 11-12pm: Boomz (Ian, Ming and Jing)
Weds 12-1pm: Dynamite! (Sally and Kenneth)
Weds 1-2pm: Forte Fortissimo (Eric and Mornique) + iLOUD (Eilene)
Thurs 11-12pm: Kapow! (Timothy)
Thurs 12-1pm: PinK (Amanda and Matthew)
So just bring yourself! Don't worry, we'll equip you with a simple briefing before we go forth handing out chocolate eggs.


OCF VICTORIA EASTER CAMP - Loving our G.P.S.
Have all of you signed up for this camp? It's going to be AWESOME! So don't miss it! Camp's a great place to refresh and motivate yourself. Come with an expectant heart, to know more friends and more importantly, to know more about the God we worship and love.
If you still want to sign up for camp (it's never too late), just email Mornique Ng atngminhui_mornique@hotmail.com.
More details will be emailed to campers later in the week. We will all meet on Friday morning in Uni (so set your alarms early and get a good night's rest!) and transport is arranged, so don't worry =)

Green Teams - 24 April (Saturday), 9am-4pm
OCF Clayton is jumping onboard with CityLife Church to do GREEN TEAMS! where we are split into teams of 15 (5 gardening, 5 cooking and 5 praying) to help rebuild the lives and homes of people who were affected by the Victorian Bushfires at end of 2008. Do join us in just intentionally helping the community and being a blessing unto others!

For more information and to sign up, please contact Faith Luo (chinzjinghui@gmail.com).




So let us gear up for these upcoming activities! With Easter approaching let us remember who our God is and how much He loves us. Holding that in our hearts, let's be motivated to move for Him.

"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us." 1 John 4: 7-12

Cheerios!

Happy Thursday to you :D

Hallo folks!

Happy Thursday to you! :D Hope week three of school is coming along good! It was great to see a bustling place as everyone mingled around during and after OCF! Fun to be part of this commununity, right? :D

Last week for Bible Study, most of us looked at how it's important to find the truth for ourselves, and be hungry for it. John 8:31-32 – "If you hold on to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth shall set you free". This week, the topic is Inside/Outside!

This Friday (19 March)
7pm (prayer at 6.20pm – all are welcome!)
Rotunda 3 (Monash Uni Building 8, between Menzies and Matheson library)


Also, remember that this Friday is the last day to get the early bird price of $90 for Easter Camp! (Just pay a $20 deposit first.) Why go for EC? So you won't get bored over the one week break! Ha ha. But okay more than that – God, fun, games, fellowship, meet fellow OCF Victorians, nice faraway campsite (um explore Victoria?), understanding more about how God's love can and should be our compass for life... CAMPS ARE NEVER NOT GOOD! :D And personally, I remember that it was at my first EC 2 years back that God kinda gave me a heart for OCF (:

So really. You won't want to miss it.

Okiedokes. See you soon!

In His always-enough love,
Faith (:

This week...

Helloooo Claytonites!

Wow; how many of us enjoyed OCF last Friday? I definitely did, and I think some of us got a bit deaf from our own voices "shouting" above everyone else's when we were all mingling inside the echo-ey rotunda, hurhur.

Well, we have OCF again this week \m/

Friday, 12 March
7pm (All are welcome to join for prayer at 6.20pm)
Rotunda 3 (same place - building 8 in Monash Uni, between Menzies and Matheson)


We're starting on Bible Study Reformation 2K10 with The Pilgrim's Path (such guy titles right – cos Jared did it haha) in cell groups, discovering the truth by digging into the Word of God. There'll also be worship, testimonies, supper...

It was great to see so many of you last week, "old" and new alike, with everyone being so comfortable with each other. If you didn't join us last week, don't worry – come this week! Feel free to bring your friends too.

Hope to see you!

Cheers,
Faith! (:
