YF Study on Romans this Friday (Oct 2)

Thanks for the active discussion in our "Letting things Die" discussion last Friday and for our exploration in Theology for Sunday school too. As we talked about on Friday, it's so apparent in our lives that we spend too much energy maintaining a false idea of our self. Each of us has areas of our lives that we need to let die, Jesus has invited us to lose our life so that we can gain what really matters John 12:23-26; Mark 8:34-38. Very often, this process takes time and if taken seriously, your mind is renewed and you will become more Christ-like.


This Friday (Oct 2), we will be continuing our Bible study in Romans. Our passage this week is incredibly important and has a lot of depth into our condition (all of us). Our study in Romans is one that is extremely important regardless of where we are in our walk, whether we just want to learn more about God or developing a deep/passionate faith anchored in Christ. Bring your Bibles, four color pens/pens and be open to hearing from the Lord. Romans is challenging in the way that it not only reveals the character of God but also reveals what we don't often acknowledge about ourselves.

Some of you have expressed an interest in baptism, I've attached a baptismal application form over the e-mail. If you are interested in getting baptized at Christmas this year, please return the form to me as soon as possible so you and I can arrange for baptismal classes.

As part of CCCO's 20th anniversary, on Saturday's event (October 10th), the YF has been asked to help serve dinner and help clean up as well. Please keep this in mind.

One Homeless Night is coming up on October 23rd - 24th. We will be accompanied by staff / adult leaders and be sleeping safely indoors. It's an overnight event and designed for us to experience and develop a deeper awareness for homelessness. It will also help shape your character as we encounter the people and develop our own response to the issue for the rest of our lives. Some of you have already committed to the event, so you can start asking around for pledges (a total of $50 for each participant). Let me know ASAP if you plan to participate, so we can get more adult leaders on board.

Feel free to update us with what's going on in life or any prayer requests or if you want to get together with us for chats etc. ;)
See you all Friday!
