Haii-yah! Kick-butt! We are conquerors! \m/

+ PRAYER = POWER!
Haii-yah! Kick-butt! Exam season is almost over! We are conquerors! \m/ Victory! When frustrated with studying, remember you have the mind of Christ (1 Cor 2:16) – you can understand anything. Ask the Holy Spirit for help!

You all are still being covered in prayer! 9.30 - 10.30am @ Narthex every weekday. Do join us! Prayer = powerrr! You've got to EXPERIENCE IT for yourself!


++ HOW MAY I PLAY MY PART IN GOD'S KINGDOM?
Today, Chee Kai, Chien Aun and myself met up with some elders from Grace Church. It was so good hearing from them – their heart for God's Kingdom, the importance of outreach, and how they want to partner with OCF Clayton by getting families involved with English Studio/Class which we plan to launch next semester!

If you haven't already, I want to encourage us all to start thinking: How may I play my part in reaching out to the campus God has placed me in? I believe God will inspire you and show you how!


+++ HOMECELLS THIS FRIDAY
Check with your leaders for more details!
After that, a two week break from each other :(


++++ WINTER CAMP: COUNTDOWN 10 DAYS!
Reconsider the questions posed last Friday at OCF – 1. Who here has ever asked God: God, I want more. More. 2. How many of us have also said to God at least once before: I'm sorry for not meeting that expectation, for not being where we should be, and for straying away?

Are you one of them? Yes? Then Winter Camp definitely is the thing for you! iSync: Release, Refine, Refill. 2 – 4 July. Ask your leaders for more details! Also, GET EXCITED. Expect something, receive something.


+++++
This week, happy birthday to Pris (tue) and Jared (wed)!

Lubdub, <3 Faith!

Take a break! Have a kit-kat!

Hello dear folks!

What's coming up?


Exam prayer and praise: Mon - Fri, 9.30 - 10.30am @ Narthex room in Religious Center

What's been happening; a group of us
Realign: Coming together to put God first in the morning
Rejuvenate: Charge up with food! Breakfast and chit-chat
Ready ourselves: For the exams by studying in the library

If you haven't joined us before, why not pick just one day this week to come experience it for yourself?


OCF this Friday: 18 June, 7 - 9.30pm @ Rotunda 3

As much as homecell last week was fun, we're meeting back together again! We're having something simple; come take a break from your study hide-y holes! Dinner begins at 7pm so see you then!


Winter camp: 2 - 4 July – iSync: Release, Refine, Refill

Every night at 11pm, the committee prays for this camp, because they are so excited and expectant for God to show up and work! You're welcome to join; let's get charged up to receive at this camp!

Think of a friend you'd like to share this journey with, and extend an invitation!

Please note full payment ($75 - $80, depending) should be made this coming Friday at OCF.


Lastly...

Recently I journal-ed: God, the more I realise (how) You care for me, the more I love You.

How cool is that! God – God above, so high, so mighty, with the whole world to care for – cares for us! He cares for you and me! As we have our exams and some go through stress / sadness / discouragement / fear / confusion / anything, let us remember to cast all our anxiety on Him, because He does care for us (1 Peter 5:7).

Happy days are ahead!
Faith (:

Persevere!

Heya Claytonites!

Hope you're not tired of mugging already because it's only just the beginning!
But as Pastor Ian Grant shared 2 weeks back,

"do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God,
you will receive what He has promised." (Hebrews 10:35-36).

So don't be defeated, and stick in there!


++ UPCOMING

Exam prayer: Mon - Fri, 9.30 - 10.30am @ Narthex. Starts tmr!

An hour of praise and prayer to the One who is able!

May sound crazy to come every weekday but trust me – it's a rewarding commitment to make! Narthex Room is in Religious Center (round building between Matheson library and campus center). Try make it at least once a week, if not everyday :D


Blessing Ministry: Mon - Wed, 4.45pm - 7pm @ Matheson

A time where we look beyond ourselves to meet the needs of others! As we give out free coffee/tea/biscuits/cake (and sneak some for ourselves), we ourselves will be refreshed too!

After all, it is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35)!

Monday: PinK + Dynamites
Tuesday: FFF + Boomz
Wednesday: iLoud + Kapow



Homecell

OCF will be in cells instead of the usual R3 this week. Check mail from your leaders for details, and invite a friend for a cosy get-together to chill in the midst of (stressful) exams!


Winter camp: 2 - 4 July – iSync: Release, Refine, Refill

Haven't signed up?! *shocked* You don't want to miss this time of Claytonites coming together as God's people to get in sync with Him! Think about a friend to bring, and get in line with God!



We're praying for every one of you this exam season, every morning at 9.30am. So hey, you're covered!
Feel free to message me if you've got an extra prayer request!

Much love,
Faith (:
