Thanksgiving 2011

This is the day that the Lord has made. The end of 2011 marks a new beginning. It's a thanksgiving day for all the hard work sowed by everyone.

Everyone is captivated by the game.

While Cheefoo is giving game instruction, do observe a distracted person.

Chaos started. I mean game started.

Round 2.

No forfeit for losers, but prizes for the winners.

Look how nervous Violet is as she is about to receive her 'prize'.

Think she kind of regret for winning.

Blood Donation

We are saved by grace, and thereafter we ought to have good works.
We are not queueing for the latest gadgets, but waiting for our turns to be poked at Suntec Hall 603. Indeed, like what we learn today about the unity of locust. There's tremendous power and unity as we donate blood as a church.

Dith is looking photogenic.

Five warriors initially. Guess who is the missing one ?

This is what the children, wife and maid doing while waiting.

Greg is checking if nurse is poking at the correct vein.
Smiling champion. His packet of blood is ready for collection within 5min plus. Well done!

Chee Foo lying beside Greg, and we are competing. No sweat for Richard. One packet does not seems enough.
Total capacity of blood to be filled = 450ml. (Bigger than a can of coke)
Happily posing. See our colorful bandages.

Hey, where's Meredith ???

Meredith, don't be sad. Try again next time. Richard recommends to do push up, and Chee Foo recommends to do a set of 100 everyday. Hee...

Well done to all the volunteers in N116. You give your time, energy, finances, and even your blood! You are really doing good works.

Thank you for your fellowship!

TGIT! Thank God It's Thursday!

n116 is ready for "圣经谁怕谁？"

Mr Wong's birthday (a very belated post...)

...nanny joy writes...

Birthday celebrations for Zhifu has always been a very important and significant event for us in n116. Every year, we devise means and ways to sabo celebrate Zhifu's birthday.

Just take a look at the email strings:

In 2008, was "wild wild and WET" and check out the way we celebrated his birthday here:

http://chcn116.blogspot.com/2008/08/event-of-year.html

In 2009, was warm and cozy with a special guitar performance by Daniel Ang and Joshua.

(I realise that we haven't posted the '09 photos up! Here's the link: chcn116 Photobucket - Zhifu's Birthday 09)

This year, we decided to keep things simple, and we had a simple dinner at Zhou's Kitchen, Far East Square.

After the sumptuous ala-carte buffet dinner, dessert was served.

Did you see the "snowcaps"?

And Mr Wong is clearly amused by the dessert.

Then follows a speech by Francis.

A group photo to end off the celebrations...

Pardon the resolution coz the photos were taken with my BB curve :(

Standing in the Gap

Ezekiel 22



30So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.

 
The prophet Ezekiel is here expressing the need for prayer intercessors who would "stand in the gap" before God on behalf of the needs of His people of that time. It's a privilege we can lift up in prayer the needs of others as we are led by the Holy Spirit. Apart from prayer, standing in the gap means to give your precious time to listen to a sad and frustrated girl; Standing the gap means to avail yourself for the things of God and look at the body of Christ as a whole; Standing in the gap is to seize the moment and being selfless. It can be rather ironic when your supporters told you they will support you, and you realize they are standing so far behind when you turn around. The choice to stand in the gap is not automatic and it has to be learnt. Yes, you have the power to make the difference.
