Food Fun Find Fan Fascinate Fire Fuzz Feed. our Friends

Hellooo awesome possums!

Those are just random words in the heading :D

Hope you had a good long (but still too short heh) weekend! On Saturday, some of us joined Citylife Church's Green Teams at Kinglake to help with gardening (felt more like farming) as some areas there were burnt by last year's fires on Black Saturday. It was tiring work, but very fun too!

Okays, this week...


Wednesday PRAYER // 2-3pm, Piano room 1
Come join us (: It's at campus center basement. If anything, call Faith (0422 152 040).
"Pray, and let God worry" –Martin Luther


Friday FOF // Night, at one of our homes
That's Feed Our Friends! I've been reading Acts in the Bible and 2:44-47 stood out–

"All the believers were together and had everything in common.
Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need.
Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts.
They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,
praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.
And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."

What I saw in these verses was a community. Where people share, give, meet, welcome. And it was in that environment of generosity and love, that "the Lord added to their number".

FOF is an opportunity to give our friends a greater glimpse into our lives and OCF community. Definitely at FOF, we're fed with food. But also, we'll feed our friends with friendship! And fun! And... whatever else you want to feed them with ha ha (:

So mm mm. HAVE FUN planning and being at FOF! And, let's bring our friends! I will miss us all meeting at the usual rotunda and law building, but... we'll enjoy our cells! Look out for details in the email from your cell leaders.

See you later alligator.

Love, Faith! <3

Good morning citizens of OCF Clayton

Good morning citizens of OCF Clayton.

The weather forecast for this week is sunny with a moderate temperature of mid-20s in the day. With the sun coming up, gloominess and lethargy should disappear soon enough. Thus waking up early for classes and being on time shouldn't be a problem to all university students.

To all citizens, lament not of your assignments, exams, classes and placements. But rather take delight that at such a time as this, we can draw strength from God and boast that He is the one who is good and faithful. Prayer and reading of His word are highly recommended to be adopted as secondary nature of every citizen to fight everyday life's challenges. Thus comes this week's highlights which are designed to encourage you to adopt these habits.

1. Prayer meeting (wed, 2-3pm @ music room 1): A time of refreshing and renewing right in the middle of the week. How awesome is that!

2. OCF Friday (friday, 7-11pm @ rotunda R3): We will be engaging with the life of Daniel. Come and be inspired!

In case of emergency, do not feel hesitant to contact any of your cell leaders or the committee members. They are more than happy to assist you in any way they are capable of. Remember, all work and no play makes you boring. So have fun and don't forget that we can do impossible things through Christ who gives us strength.

Hence, this ends the morning news.
Jared Yeoh, signing out.

God gives strength + understanding! (:

Hello folks!

Hope this email finds you well!

* Big thanks to...
Mornique, Eugene Ting and Val for being part of the comm which organised Easter camp! And Jem, Eugene Tong and Desiree for organising Games Day!


* Up next...

OCF Prayer // This Wed 2 - 3pm // Piano room 1
Sometimes we think of prayer as OH SO SCARY, I have to pray out loud – what if I don't sound "holy"? O_O But truth is – prayer is conversation with God. And how do we converse? We converse as ourselves, as whoever we are; we're not expected to talk like other people. So, see you if I do!

OCF // This Fri 7pm // Rotunda 3
Whoohoo! We meet back again! We're having Bible Study in cell groups :D We're also going to talk a bit about the different areas of service in OCF. So if your hands can't wait to be raised up to say, yes I want to serve! Now's the time. Join us for prayer at 6.20pm!

Green Teams // Sat 24 April // Marysville
Marysville was affected by the fire on Black Saturday. Partnering with Citylife Church, we want to give back to the community by going to lend a hand (literally) to homes which need help. Do take this chance to bring a friend, whether Christian or not.


* A little encouragement...

Many of us are in the midst of assignment/test time, which can be trying. Good news– Isaiah 40:28 says,

Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom.

Wow. What that tells me is:
• God is everlasting - endless, infinite, boundless; full of strength – I can get strength from Him!
• He created the earth and has unfathomable understanding – whether it's that business concept or engineering formula or case study, HE knows it all.

So, let's ask for strength and help :)

Stay alive and on top of your assignments (not buried under)!

:) In His love, Faith!
PS. Keep 2 - 4 July free for OCF Clayton's Winter Camp! \m/

Games Day this Saturday!

Helloooo Claytonites!

How was the easter break for you guys? We'll for most of us, our weekend was well spent at Coonawarra for the Ocf Victoria Easter Camp and I'm pretty sure for those who went, you guys had a hard time adjusting back to reality & getting rid of ur fcbk spam msgs since we got back. (Spend less time on fcbk yes?)

Anyway it was great fun and a great experience to encounter God I believe.

From that, we would also like to thank the whole camp committee for doing such as great job!

Well since this week is our easter break, we won't be having an OCF meeting on the coming friday. However, we do have an activity lined-up for us all!
