Spend an engergising afternoon of sports and games, followed by a cook-it-with-friends BBQ dinner this December holiday! Invite your friends!

2) Christmas Service

Confirm with Joshua your attendance & no. of friends you'll be bringing, last but not least, the type of food you'll be bringing! This is to avoid repetition, I'm sure we don't want trays of beehoon that can cater for more than 200 people. In addition, each of us has to bring a present for gift exchange, of not more than $10. Alright, let's look forward to it! :)

3) Christmas Unwrap

Registration has started, & will end on 13th Dec. Please confirm with Sophia your attendance by this week, & bring along the money. Since you guys will be very busy on the 12th Dec with Sweat-Eat-Out, there won't be time to collate attendance and the collection of money. So to make things easier, let's get it done as early as possible! Yeah, your friends are welcome :D


Lastly, THANK GOD for an awesome youth camp! See you guys on Saturday :D



Love,
Sophia

Hey BFC. Prayer requests:

Sophia
Breakthrough among youths during youth camp, and all programmes to run smoothly.
Need strength from the Lord as I'll be very busy for the next two weeks.

Jasmine
More time to enjoy and to spend it wisely

Daryl
Thank God that my plants are growing well. Thank God for everything I've learnt in life.
Pray that I will not procrastinate and be able to endure the last lap. Pray for a fruitful and enriching time at camp for everyone.

Ivan
Pray for enough time to finish school work that's due on the coming monday

--------------------------------------------------
Just like to let all of you know that you're kept by the prayers of people. Even our precious Jesus is ever interceding for us..

Romans 8:34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.

(In context: Romans 8:28-39) Let us take some time, no matter how busy we are, to reflect on Christ's love for us.. It's just so amazing that we should keep going back to it no matter how old we are. Let us not take His love for granted. (:

Have a great week ppl! And see you guys for camp! Pray for a heart of expectancy for God to touch your heart this camp! (:

Jace

Prayer Requests (as of 7th Nov)

Daryl: To be able to rest on God's promises & to reject any discouraging thoughts! For good memory & keen understanding. Calmness & composure, discipline & determination, courage & confidence, boldness & belief!

Jacelyn: Pray that I will place my hope & confidence in God. And the ability to absorb what I learn & apply well during exams.

Phil 4:13 says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

Keep the rest in prayers as they battle against the 'A' levels! For WanHui, Joe, Uncle KK & Auntie Sharon (unless she's still on maternity leave haha), to have great favour at their workplace. That's all, hope to see the smiles in your faces right after As! :)

Love,
Sophia
