Hi guys!!

Here are the prayer requests for this week. Didn't receive a lot, but it's ok! Feel free to place your prayer requests on the tag or sms me alright!

Don't forget to pray for:

Spencer: His studies!

Chong Lip: He is feeling fatigued as he has to do OT to finish his work. Please pray for rest.

Si Min:Pray for God's guidance and discipline as school and CCA have started, and that she'd work hard for her streaming exams and be commited to God, her school work and CCA.

Ee Ling: For favour in everything that she does.

That's all for now.. but please feel free to pray for everyone else too! And do pray for Isaac, who's now in Australia!

Cheers,
Ee Ling

Hi guys!!

Some of our cell members are away at ABC, so perhaps that's why there are lesser prayer requests this time round. However, that doesn't mean that we forget about praying, yeah? Let's continue to keep our friends in prayer!

Here are the requests for this week:

Isaac: He has a very bad hamstring strain on his right leg, so pray that he will get well soon and also, for proper time management.

Rachel: Pray that she will be motivated and hardworking in revising her work, and also that she may lean on God more.

Ee Ling: She is having her last week at NIE and will be reporting for work next week. Do keep her in prayer.

Ok, if there are more requests, feel free to add on by either smsing me or tagging on the tagboard ok?

Oh, and this week's cell group will be led by Rachel! So bring your books! We'd be exploring Chapter 9. Do remember to keep Rachel in prayer!

As for our party, do RSVP by Friday, if you haven't!

Seeya all on Saturday and Sunday!

In His love,
Ee Ling

Hi guys!!

The cell group was having an impromptu discussion regarding our next outing while we were having dinner tonight.. and we decided...to have a gathering NEXT SUNDAY!!

This seems to be the best date as the JC students would be very very busy mugging for their exams after this week.. and about 4 of you would be away on ABC from Monday-Thurs of this week.. So this would most likely be the best possible date for everyone, and we hope everyone can make it! The more the merrier! :)


And psst!! He Lu would be cooking. Praise God, we've got such a talented person like He Lu, who can whip up such a feast! (Incidentally, I've got a wonderful talent too-- I can cook noodles! Take your pick, Maggi Mee, Cup noodles or spaghetti! Ok, I am kidding of course.) He Lu would be the chef, and as we all know, we are in for a FEAST!!!

Details:

What? PETRA NITE!! -A time of fun, food and fellowship!
When? Sunday, 13th June 3pm onwards to 10pm.
Where? He Lu's new place at Pasir Ris
Bring? $10 (Maximum cost.)

RSVP to Ee Ling! And If you are bringing a friend (s), do let me know too!

Be there or be square!!

Seeya!!

In His love,
Ee Ling

Hi guys!!

It's the fifth week and it's cell group again! :D

Last week, Cornelius and Chong Lip co-led, and it was a very deep and engaging issue about death and how to respond to friends' queries and difficult questions. It was a great time of discussion yeah? :) Thank you Cornelius and Chong Lip!

For this week, we will be looking at Chapter 8: Why do I need other Christians?

Please read 1 Corinthians 12 and Acts 2:42-47.

We will be looking at the Church, and how we don't just go to church, but WE ARE THE CHURCH. And so, what's the purpose of church, and what's our role?


Come ready to discuss!


See ya on Saturday!


Love,
Ee Ling

Hi Petralites,
This week's cell group is going to be very interesting. Cornelius will be teaching for the first time! So all of us must be there to support him yea? He will co-lead with Chong Lip on this rather gloomy topic that we may want to avoid - death.

Let's come prepared with these questions in mind.
1) Is death the end of everything?
2) What kind of legacy do I want to leave behind when I eventually die

The text will be taken from John 11: 14-44. For your convenience, I've pasted the verses below.
See you this Saturday!!

Chong Lip and Cornelius

17On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days. 18Bethany was less than two miles[a] from Jerusalem, 19and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother. 20When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.

21"Lord," Martha said to Jesus, "if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask."

23Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."

24Martha answered, "I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."

25Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; 26and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"

27"Yes, Lord," she told him, "I believe that you are the Christ,[b] the Son of God, who was to come into the world."

28And after she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside. "The Teacher is here," she said, "and is asking for you." 29When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him. 30Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him. 31When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.

32When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

33When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled. 34"Where have you laid him?" he asked.
"Come and see, Lord," they replied.

35Jesus wept.

36Then the Jews said, "See how he loved him!"

37But some of them said, "Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?"
Jesus Raises Lazarus From the Dead
38Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. 39"Take away the stone," he said.
"But, Lord," said Martha, the sister of the dead man, "by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days."

40Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"

41So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me."

43When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" 44The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face.
Jesus said to them, "Take off the grave clothes and let him go."
