Catholics and Protestants

Dear all,

The blog has been dead for some time. But it's back!

This week, as the poster says, what is coming to be an anuual event, judging by the past year or so. It's the difference between Catholic and Protestant faith.

We'll be organizing it with the Christian Fellowship, so note that there's a change in venue. It's now at SR5 (Seminar Room 5) as opposed to the previous SR2.

Do come! Let's see what God wants to say to us.

June 6: Amazing Grace

Break open the popcorn. And the Bible, of course.

*ust who makes these cheesy one-liners anyway?

Anyway, come and see. I promise it won't bore the socks off you. If you wore socks, that is.

May 30: The truth about the Bible

This is good...I'd even go so far to say that it is necessary.
Almost the entire Christian faith is based on the Bible. Even sacred tradition is mentioned the Bible, which led to the formation of the Catholic Church and the faith as we know it today.

Isn't it scary to think that we know so little of the authenticity of this source, upon which lives are built?

Come and learn more.

P.S. Come with questions - our guest speaker, Mr. Bruno Pereira will be happy to field any you may have. You can even post them on the blog and we'll get back to you.

Thanks and God bless.

The Street Ministry

Here’s our weekly bulletin for you all. Now this week we will be doing something different.

This is not to say we are going to do stuff like run around with party hats on our heads, nor are we going to go duck-paddling with the frogs in the pond near Vista Komanwel.

No, nothing of the sort. This week, we will be joining the Christian Fellowship, to attend their talk about The Street Ministry. For a brief intro, the street ministry is a volunteer organization that tends to the homeless that populate the area surrounding Chow Kit Road, one of the more notorious places in Petaling Street. Every Saturday, a team of IMU students joins these people for an hour or so, giving out food, medical aid and demonstrating their awesome CPR skills. Okay, so I lied about the last one. But seriously though, it is no joke. It is hard, gratitude-free work. And you will hear all these and more, when their administrator, I think his name is Steven, comes to educate us.

I thought I’d just say this: We aren’t joining them simply because we’ve run out of things to do. The committee thinks that this is a good idea to expose you all to the darker side of Malaysia, and how some people really go out of their way to help a person in need. For love and love alone without any ulterior motive. And anyway, it would be stupid to call the speaker to come and speak TWICE, so these are the reasons why we’re going there.

Anyway, that’s only the first part. The second part is that we will actually get to follow them to help out in the Street Ministry. Then you guys will be able to put everything you learnt on Friday into practice. If anyone’s interested, let us know. Believe me, it is a rewarding experience, and we strongly encourage everyone to join.

So, here are the details:

Location: SR5
Time: 1 pm
Day: This coming Friday
Talk topic: The Street Ministry.

This is also an excellent opportunity for all of you to get to know your CF brothers and sisters, so please, by all means, go! You won’t regret it.

God bless.

Love,
Jon and the CSS committee.

P.S. Please keep the M207 in prayer. Apparently the EOS was a lot tougher than the previous ones. I mean, who the heck knows which Trypanosoma species infects East Africa anyway?And don't forget the N107 who are starting their exams too.

P.P.S I just realized some of the lecturers here probably do. Ha ha!

16th May - Rosary time!

This IS the month of Mary, after all. And it wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t have a rosary session.

So come as you are, and this time, we’ve got something special in store for you!

We won’t tell you (unless you’ve read the mails) but we assure you it’s something to do with the rosary.

Same time, same place. That’s


SR2 at

1 pm

this FRIDAY.

Hoping to see you guys there! God bless =)

A Month in Pictures.

So anyway, here are some of the things which we did for the previous three weeks or so.

The fourth week of April saw us praying over the articles which affected our lives today. Sometimes we forget that other people need our help, and that prayer – no matter how insignificant it may seem, changes lives. Because God can.

The first week of May was when we explored the story of Mary and Martha (the sisters of Lazarus) and how each of them had different personalities. Personally, I believe that each of us carries a bit of Mary and Martha inside of us.

And the second week of May resonated with the huge voice of Adrian Ng – the youth minister of CKK (NOT SFX. Oops) who told us – in no uncertain terms – how important and relevant the rosary is to us as Catholics.

God bless. Next up will be the long-overdue NEWBEC.

Welcoming Party - 17th April

All are welcome!

And there's FREE FOOD!!

How can anyone resist the Word of God AND free food?!!

It's at SR2, we hope to see you there!

Bible Study - 11th April

No, bible study is not boring! This week, and this month, actually, we're going to focus more on the book of Sirach and the book of James...and how they relate to finding God in perseverance of trials.

IMU is really quite a stressful place, but sometimes, because there are simply so so many activities to enjoy, students don't realize how much backlogged work they have until it hits them in the face...to say nothing about the event managers themselves!

So come, and find out how you can presevere through all of this with the Word of God.

For those of you who want to read the bible study beforehand (SO studious heh) here's the bible study and the passages in the bible which correspond to it:

God bless you all~! We hope to see you there!

14th March - Rosary

As this will be the final week of Lent before Good Friday commences, we think that it would be good to end this session of with a rosary prayer session.

Now we KNOW some of you will find this boring, but remember - worship isn't about you feeling good. It's about how much pleasure you give God. And we'll try to make it as interesting as possible.

Things to bring:

1. Rosary - if you don't have one, let us know, and we will provide one for you.
2. Bible
3. Yourself and anyone who might want to take an interest, be they Catholic or non-Catholic.

Do come - I think that if there ever was a time for prayer, it is now.

God bless.
