Chunai's Sharing

Hello hello :]
Let’s see, I really thank God for putting me where I am now, in this church where I grew up at and where I’m studying at now. And also where I’m serving Him in now at 第二堂.
I remember that time when I got my posting for where to go after o levels, it was none of the choices I wanted. And I felt that I’ve got no where to go. Few options appeared in front of me but when I decided to grab it, it’s gone. At then I really felt as if I’m for nothing, I couldn’t get into any course I wanted.
But yet at that time, everyone encouraged me and said that God will definitely make a way for me. And it of course came through! I got to know about the school I’m at now – at-sunrice. And it’s very amazing how God lead me to this course. And I thank Him (: And now I’m at my last term.
So just to share something I’ve learned a few years back, never think that you’ve run out of options and everything’s impossible, cause God will make everything possible, in His time. :]]

Hmm..

SO you must be wondering what the numbers (5 10 08) represent uh? Weeellll, we're having a music ministry gathering! Yeaps, next Sunday (05-10-2008). It will be held after service, lunch will be provded. It will be at Chapel 1! See yall there!

(: We'll be having a gathering soon too! Will inform yall about it. Heh. Meanwhile take care! I'm off to town to relax, haha.

耶稣是谁? 2008唐崇荣布道会

Date: 11-14 Sept 2008 (Thurs - Sun)
Time: 730pm
Venue: Singapore Indoor Stadium

WHO IS JESUS? By Dr Stephen Tong, 唐崇荣牧师! He's a really good preacher [he's got a degree in music and an impressive choir under him!], humorous, engaging and very inspiring. I've been to Newton Life Church numerous times to listen to his sermons (he preaches there every Sunday night at 730pm). He really makes one think about the issues discussed. He touches on topics which are not usually spoken about and his explanation goes really in depth, e.g. relationship between God and Man, evolution..etc. Although some topics touched may be not that easy to understand, the topics provoke thoughts and make you want to know more about God.

SOOO this is a good chance to invite your non-Christian friends to this rally! Afraid that you or your friend(s) may not be comfortable with Mandarin? Dont worry! There will be a super cool translator who will translate into English for you! Even if you're not bringing any friends, you also can go and attend this rally! You may be able to catch performances by his choir! I've been to his Christmas gospel rallies and I learnt something every time I attended. These rallies are only held annually! So do go and listen (:

Or you can always attend the Sunday services (: 730pm at Newton Life Church.

Hope to see yall at the rally!

There are many other videos on his sermons on youtube!

主的能力

Heyhey, how have all of you been! I've been GREAT (: Looking back on the past 7 months, God has really been there for me, guiding me and strengthening me. Sometimes, it's just not easy to juggle between studies and serving, and I'm sure those who are working and serving would agree too; having to spend the few hours practising for Sunday's worship after a long tiring day at work/school; leading the worship, playing the instruments, singing, preparing the ppt, adjusting the volumes and whatnots on the sound mixer.. I dont know about all of you, but I've always enjoyed worship practices; the fellowship, the joy in serving however tired I may be that day.. Dont yall feel it too? (: God's always among us, dont you think? If not, there wouldnt be the fellowship and the joy (: In any case, dont give up okay! Yes, sometimes it may be hard to handle between work/studies, family, and serving BUT HE's there for us, 因为主的能力是在人的软弱上。加油加油! (:

Oh and here are some prayer requests!

Tingting - Her projects! She needs to rush them for the dateline (which is next week)! Please pray for her! Her health, her time management, and that she will rely on God during this stressful period!

Qinyi - Her foot/ankle! She has injured it the other time, and it will be painful sometimes. Please pray for quick and full recovery! And her preparation for her school's prelims and O lvls!

That's all for now. Any prayer request(s), yall can post it on the tagboard in the column on the left! (: Take care!

因为神先爱我们

你和我是天父爱的创造
每个人有最美的梦想
一路上彼此照亮
扶持 拥抱
我们的爱让世界不一样

我们爱 因神先爱我们
虽你我不一样 我们一路唱
走往祝福的方向

我们爱 因神先爱我们
心再坚强也不要独自飞翔
只要微笑 只要原谅
有你爱的地方就是天堂

(:

你的恩典够我用

Hm, with our busy schedules, it's kinda inevitable to feel physically or emotionally worn out every now and then. It's sometimes difficult for us to quieten ourselves and listen; to listen to God. How long have you let God have/love you? Something I brought away from a recent bible study. Just a thought for yall (: Draw strength from Him when you're weak, He's Almighty (:

Have a blessed week ahead! One that draws close and experiences God daily (:

Be still, and know I am God.

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?

Psalms 8:3-4

Even though we're so small but God still loves us and cares for YOU.

Kaixun's Sharing

Shalom! It has always been a joy for me to serve in 2nd worship as a bassist or guitarist. I’ve served in 2nd worship since I was 17yrs old, I think haha. So it has been approximately 6yrs since I first served. In the past, I was really proud to be in the 2nd worship. I always felt that my guitar skills were probably better than my peers, that’s why I was approached to serve. But sadly to say, that wasn’t the case. Still, I was over the moon when I played on stage for the first time as a bassist. The enthusiasm n pride I had slowly faded with time and it was responsibility that was holding me back. The times I was practicing in church, I could well have been out with my friends having a merry time. There are times when I felt like just giving up due to my heavy workload(actually I was just being lazy and wanted to spend more time playing computer games). When the thought of quitting came to my mind on this particular Sunday, a message from a servant of God (I forgot which pastor or preacher) struck me hard. God is omnipotent, He does not need me to play for Him on Sundays, and there are definitely better options. He doesn’t lack bassists who want to serve Him. I was given a great opportunity to serve Him instead. He is giving me this chance to serve Him, and I almost blew it. I felt terrible after that and I prayed to God, apologizing for my attitude, and decided to offer myself as a living sacrifice to Him. Though there are times when I couldn’t be there for practice, quitting was never an option for me anymore. Through serving, my bond with God got closer as well and nothing tastes better than serving God and being close to Him spiritually. I encourage all of you, my brothers n sisters, to serve Him whole heartedly and enjoy every single worship practice. God bless~

Love,
Norman

Yimei's Sharing

Continuing the race for eternity.

It's been 7 years going 8 years since I started serving in the Worship Ministry, first as a vocalist, and then as a Worship Leader in 2003. Through these years, I see how God worked and blessed the AMK 2nd Worship congregation through the worship team members who are faithfully serving at His altar, every single week of the year.

No doubt there are moments when I felt tired and uninspired. But God always motivated me and encouraged me by putting brothers and sisters around me who are fiery and committed to his call for worship, to remind me of his initial call and purpose for me in the team.

During these few months of serving, He placed lovely sisters like Moyi and Chunai as well as a gifted brother Yiyong around me. Through their lives, their commitment to serve, their sense of responsibility and their willingness to learn and share, I was deeply moved and inspired to do more for God in this ministry. They reminded me of the initial vigour and fire that I had when I first started and all these spurred me to carry on and to continue with the race for eternity.

So I thank God for every single member that He placed in the worship team and may we strive to do our very best for God and give our all to Him so that His name may be glorified and forever more. Amen!

Roster for 13 April!

Guanliang's Sharing

Walking with God is never easy. Serving as a 招待员 is sometimes harder than it seemed. Many a time, we have to be the people to usher people to the correct place. This is something practicing before hand is not really possible. But with many encounters. I find that whenever I meet with difficulties or with any sudden change of plans. I feel that God was always there in helping overcoming it with the help of my partners in 招待. He has slowly shaped me to think on the spot so that I will be able to face these difficulties. He has also given me a humble heart to learn and not to be proud when there is success.

Once, in the middle of P&W, we realized that the speaker did not have water to drink. Therefore, one of the ushers went to find one. Suddenly, the ‘offerings’ had started and there was only 1 usher then. Me. I thought on the spot and planned out how I should give out the bags. Suddenly, God’s helping hands came and people whom were not ushers came to help me with the offerings. My plan was not carried out. I was saved by God even before I asked for one.
Sometimes when unexpected things like usher did not come or was unable to do so. I had always accepted to back them up.

I want to be an usher because; I know I am not very good with music, nor with sound system. And that I truly want to serve God. One day, Chun Hui told me that 招待员 really needed manpower and after thinking over it, I readily accepted that offer on the spot. It may seem rash at that point of time. But I see it as an option to serve God. So far, thanks to God and the people around me, ushering has been able for me. Thank you.

Our lovely storeroom below is being packed up nicely!! FINALLY. As said by Chunai, please put the things back to their original places after use!! We've already classified the things properly. So do your part to continue to keep it NEAT and TIDY! Dont treat our storeroom like a rubbish dump! (: Thanks! (:
