Faith, Hope and Love Building Quotes

By Croft M. Pentz If you kicked the one who causes you most of your troubles, you would not be able to sit down for six weeks. A man who always says what he thinks is courageous-and without friends. Three of the most difficult things in life are to keep a secret, to forget an injury, and to make good use of leisure time. The business of living is not to get ahead of others but to get ahead of ourselves. The surest way to encourage violence is to give in to it. (Source: www.ziglar.com)

Happy Birthday Jenice!

The 2nd last day of September is a special day for our dear sister Jenice, whose birthday falls on this day. God must have it planned well, 30th Sep was also a sunday where we had our church service and so we manage to celebrate Jenice's birthday on the actual day! This lovely sister not only has the hunger for God, but is also the evangelist of N116. The number of friends she brought to church is just amazing. Thanks Jenice, for introducing your friends and family to City Harvest Church, we pray that God will not only bless your coming in and going out, but also expand your faith and your gift of evangelism.

Happy Birthday Gavriil!

Gavriil first came to our cellgroup last year when his aunt, who is also one of our cellgroup members, brought him to church. So blessed was he by our services that he had been attending City Harvest Church regularly since then. Coming all the way from Greece to work in Singapore, this hunk of N116 even became a popular personality after joining Channel U's talent competition last year. Despite all these, he remains a humble and down to earth person. Last month, we celebrated Gavriil's birthday in cellgroup meeting for the first time.

The sweet smile from Taru


The gentle side of us

Giving the final hug to everyone before she left

What’s our beloved Amanda doing after Taru had left for good?

You cannot blame her because it’s already 12.30am..

YAWN…. ZzzZz Monster is waiting for us.

Last but not least, here's Amanda and Joshua singing a song for Taru during her last cellgroup with us.

And our dear Daniel even made delicious durian puffs for her!

TARU, we love you.

Don’t forget to show us around if we ever go to Finland.

Guitar Graduation

A big thank you to Chee Foo who sacrificed 10 weekends to teach us to play the guitar.

It has changed our spiritual lives and the way we worship.

Thank You!!!

Merlion In Japan

A super lame Japanese commercial that shows a couple having a conversation (though the wife looks more like the daughter), where our very own merlion shows up in the midst....in an equally cheesy manner. Wonder who's the brain behind this brilliant ad...and what on earth does super eco-war means?

Happy Birthday Camelia!

For the first time, N116 celebrated our dear sister Camelia's birthday ever since she was being transferred to this cellgroup last October. If there is an example of what a meek, gentle and humble person is like, Camelia will be absolutely the right one to fit this description. No doubt she can be a soft-spoken and quiet gal on the outside, Camelia is actually one independent and strong person on the inside, not to mention she's also one who has great faith and trust in God too. It's a blessing to have Camelia in the cellgroup and we pray that Camelia will receive even more blessings and favours from God in the months to come...Happy Birthday gal!

Recieving God's blessings...

Guitar class + ET Adults Dinner @ Roland Seafood

Every Saturday, a few of us would gather at David's place to learn guitar from our Zhifu Shifu..

Look at all the stressed-faces as we attempt lesson 4, 4 more new chords, another guitar strumming technique.

But I must say that we are improving with each lesson! ;)











And David and Violet feeds us with yummy refreshment to reward us for our hard work!

--

Last Sunday, we had our very first Decentralised Service and we welcomed the change as some of us had the chance to catch up with our families over breakfast on Sunday morning, while others could sleep in a little later..

After the service, the adults in ET zone proceeded to Roland Seafood Restaurant for a time of fellowship..

Midway through the dinner, we had the game "Don't Forget The Lyrics" and Amanda represented n116 for the challenge.





Unexpectedly, she hit a bottle-neck but she got the right lyrics at the end!



The members looking on...



A Yum Seng to n116!

The World's Oldest Bible

The World's oldest bible, known as the Codex Sinaiticus, is written over 1600 years ago in Greek. It is made of 400 large pieces of prepared animal skin, each of which measures 15 inches by 13.5 inches (380 millimeters by 345 millimeters). It is the world's oldest book that contains a complete New Testament and is only missing parts of the Old Testament and the Apocrypha.

It has recently been digitised successfully under the Codex Sinaiticus Project, and was made available for viewing online to the public. Here's an extract from the Codex Sinaiticus website:

"The Codex Sinaiticus Project is an international collaboration to reunite the entire manuscript in digital form and make it accessible to a global audience for the first time. Drawing on the expertise of leading scholars, conservators and curators, the Project gives everyone the opportunity to connect directly with this famous manuscript."
