OCF Happenings for the week yo!‏

HI EVERYONE!!! :)

Happenings for OCF during the week:

1. OCF weekly meeting
After taking a break for so long from our bible study, we're finally having it now!! excited much?? :D you get to meet your cell group members during bible study time and have intense discussions. Oh well, some less intense than others but you get the drift.

We'll be studying from the book of Romans (Romans 8:18-39) this Friday. It would be of great help to your beloved cell leaders if you could read it up first :)

2. Food for thought
Wondering what Christianity is all about? and...Who is Jesus??
Well, come join DG this Fri, not only will we be serving dinner AND dessert, we will also discuss on topics that are relevant to what's happening around us.

Details:

Venue: R3, and then proceed to Eilene's at 6/15 Arnott Street for DINNER!
Time: 7:00pm
TOPIC: Helping the Poor!

How'd you like to help the poor? What is the most beneficial way? How should we react to such situation?
Come contribute to our topic! :)

3. Sports
Yea the pressure is piling up. It's week 4 and so on. But oh well, you need to sweat it out too kay. Come for sports if you could. It's more for the social reasons too.

4. E-night (You have one Friend request)

Have you ever wondered to yourself, as a Christian, should we be readily equip with the good news at all times? Should we be 'sowing the seed' even at the most unpredictable season of our lives? I find it really amazing and encouraging to see how God's love not only transforms the preacher but also the listener.

James 5:19-20
My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.

As James said we are not only saving the life of our friends but we are also preventing them from sinning further.

Let's make this verse a challenge for all the OCF members and also the committees to bring a friend, we're not asking a lot, but just bring a friend whom you want God to touch.

Missionary work can start anywhere. Let's be a missionary to our friends, let missionary work start in our universities."

Jesus did say that we should be fishers of men, so why not, for this coming E-night, take up this challenge and bring a friend, encourage a friend, and let's sow some seeds and let God work His wonders. After all, 'it only takes a spark to get the fire going'.
