YF Games this Friday and Leadership Retreat (7th and 8th) at the Cheng's
I'm sure you are all excited to be back into the routine of school (at least some of you may genuinely be excited, haha IB a nerd today, IB your boss tomorrow *crickets*). I pray that this holiday was a time of rest and family for you this year. In my devotion this morning I read a line that stopped me in my tracks - "There is much to be said in the Christian life; but it is God who is to do the speaking. Pray for silence both in mind and spirit so that you may hear His voice. If He spoke to you in a whisper, would you be quiet enough to hear Him?" In our age of where there is always background noise and our ipod is the soundtrack of our lives, I pray that we can all learn to listen for His voice through a tech detox or rehab.
This weekend is leadership retreat! This Friday (7th) will be a normal YF gathering where we can play games, catch up and fellowship with each other. Please bring your board games, snacks, wiimotes and games. Those who are staying for leadership retreat stay until 4pm on Saturday. Please bring Bibles, writing utensils, paper, toiletries, towel, warm sleeping bags and games. For Leadership retreat, please let me know you are coming ASAP as auntie Ivy and uncle Leon have graciously offered to prepare snacks and meals for us! If you let me know you are coming, bring your form on Friday. Please commit to serving in leadership, everyone is capable of serving in different ways - perhaps you have never served as a leader but you have a gift that is not being shared in the body, please prayerfully join us. Pray in advance this week and brainstorm some ideas you have for YF, us adults need your input because we trust in your knowledge and wisdom about high school students (you are all in high school and know students best). As leaders and prospective leaders of the YF, we will discuss our ideas (come having thought of some), vision, look into Scripture and discover the roles you can play while working together to plan student run teams and events.The address and forms are attached in your e-mail.
My prayer for 2011 is the same as 2010, that this year will be marked by the Lord working in our families, our fellowship, our church and our city. We can't do that without each of you praying and discovering how you can be a part of the Lord's plan.
See you all on Friday!
