ALL SAINTS Celebration on 31st OCT!

Hi all!

All ready for this Saturday's ALL SAINTS CELEBRATIONS?

Be ready for a wacked out party and dress up! Of course, you can bring your costume "separately" and don't have to wear it the whole night.

Preparations begin at 3 - 6pm (come join us to set up, decorate place or improve on your costume - maybe with materials from the CAGE)

6:00pm is our normal monthly prayer meet but this round, we will read, hear and watch some inputs which include Mother Teresa and the Prayer of St. Francis. Come for some spiritual enlightenment!

7:00pm will be the Potluck dinner followed by our SAINTS Dress up display (your patron saint or favourite saint) and the best dressed will WIN A PRIZE!

Bring your own boardgame too if you have something nice to play later into the nite! Party ends at 11pm!

For those coming, do RSVP your food item on the Event Wall so that everyone can see who's bringing what? It might help prevent clashing items..!

Seeya!

Walking through the Valleys

I quote an excerpt from Os Hillman's daily devotionals (TGIF - Today God is First)

"When the Lord takes us through deep valleys, there will be fruit from the deep valley that we cannot see. You must press into Him with all you have during this time.

God uses the deep valley to frame our lives to create a change in our nature, not just a change in habits. The depth and width of our valley is often an indicator of the level of calling and influence we will have on others in the future. Our adversity is not just for us, but others who will be in our future path of influence. This is not very comforting when you are in the middle of the valley, but know this is a truth in the Kingdom.

It is often years later when we discover the wisdom of God and why He intentionally led us through the dark valley. Life is often lived forward, but understood backward. It is not until we are down the road and we stand on the mountain looking back at through valley that we can appreciate the terrain God has allowed us to scale and the spiritual deposits He has made in our life while we were there. "He reveals the deep things of darkness and brings deep shadows into the light" (Job 12:22).

When you begin to realize this, you sit back and breathe a sigh of relief because you know that God was in control all along. It didn't seem like it at the time, but He was."


Amazing isn't it? Our adversities are not only for ourselves, but for others who will be in our future path of influence.

Cheers,
Sam

Cool Photography!

Thought of a tagline for this photo that I came across, by chema madoz. His works are creative and cool, using B/W imagery. Really astounding.



my tagline: "Life is a gift, don't let it melt away... "

hmm..... so it means we have got to taste it... the coolness of LIFE. hahaha!




Let's try another one:



my tagline:
"Sometimes we need a little flame to break through our wooden minds.."

Ok this is not so sharp. Bit long... bleah.

Anyway.... tagline writing is fun. Do you have any?
