Carolling

Hello people

I thought I’d just post it here just in case.

Well, the carolling is going to be on the

3rd and 4th of December

At 8 p.m. onwards

Further details will be up!

Do come. I think the SAD have bought 6 really expensive Santa hats…no more Carrefour cheapos! Hahaha.

On a more serious note, however, (I’m sure I don’t have to remind you all about this, but disclaimers are so cool) do bear in mind that carolling isn’t just about who can top who in singing, the snacks you may or may not get, or just the absolute coolness about racing around the Vistas, throwing caution to the wind and generally disturbing the peace on those nights.

Do it for God, and let God’s glory be shown through us by dedicating it all to Him. Let everyone know that we are Christians by the love that we show to one another and to the people we sing to. Understand that spreading the gospel isn’t just about quoting scripture; it’s about giving people an opening to see the scriptures in the first place…and that is what carols do.

I’ll just end it here with one of the psalms – I’ve always thought that it was appropriate for a Praise & Worship Ministry, and in effect, carolling as well.

1 Praise the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens.
2 Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness.
3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre,
4 praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute,
5 praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals.
6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.

God bless you all.

And please come for carolling

WIth love from Jon & the M206 geng

Reflecting?

Hey guys... just like my previous post, i'm just recommending somthing to read... This is a blog of one of my friends / church seniors. He's working with the Youth in my parish back in JB. I find his posts a good read, as he does a lot of reflecting on his life. And Adrian Ng, if you're reading this, he's the guy you met in the last World Youth Day.

Caroling

This the last Christmas for most of us here in IMU. It has always been a tradition to have caroling every year since the year I stepped foot into IMU. I really hope that this year would be the same. Even though exams are always around the corner, we can't forget the real meaning of Christmas. Exams are tough. What better way to chill out then to go caroling. Ask anyone about caroling with the CSS and you would get the answer "Fun!'. There was once we were stuck in the lift. Haha! That was terrifying but fun!! So who is in this with me? For caroling that is. But your name here. You do not need to commit yourself 100% in it all the time. Just join us when you are free =)
