Coffee Night and YYA Friday

I hope you all enjoyed Coffee Night! It was a wonderful night of musical performances, stories, presentations, and of course great food, coffee and conversation! It was fantastic to see so many people come!

This Friday, we’ll be going back to regular bible studies and we’ll start studying the 1st epistle of John. Study notes are already uploaded, hope to see you there!

Training Day

In addition, we will be having a Training Day on Saturday 10 September (Kew and Glen Iris combined). This will be open to all members from both MCCC Kew and Glen Iris.

The training day focus will be on Discipleship, Leadership and Doctrines. If there is a particular topic you would like included in the training day or if you have any queries, please see Elder Andrew. Please register with Daniel (Glen Iris) or Wilkins (Kew) by Saturday 3, September! Hope to see you there also!

After an activity with a nice “soup kitchen” and great prayer for the suffering, persecuted, and displaced, we are continuing with our regular bible studies for the next few weeks, starting this Friday on the 22nd July.

The worksheets/Bible study notes have been uploaded. You may have noticed a change in the website’s layout including menu item name changes, but they’re still under the Bible Study Notes menu item.

Stay warm in fellowship with God and each other!

No YYA for Friday 25th March, but there’s Good Friday Service at 10am! Also Activity Night after the break!

Hi everyone!

Just a reminder that there’s no YYA this week on the 25th March, we’ll be taking a break because it’s Good Friday! It’s Good because since the Righteous Jesus died for us unrighteous people, we who follow Jesus can be counted as righteous and live in eternal paradise with God! We can have assurance of this because God was pleased to raise Jesus from the dead on the third day -Easter Sunday. So come along and celebrate with us! We’ll have a Good Friday service at 10am on the 25th of March, and a Easter Sunday service during our normal Sunday service time of 10am 27th March!

YYA is also taking 2 weeks of term break after this, so we’ll come back on the 15th of April with an Activity Night (our new Sharing Nights which should be suited to inviting your friends to)! So start inviting your friends to come along to the Activity Night, where there’ll be fun and games!

October 24, 2015 Leave a comment

Hi guys! T’was great indeed to study and ponder about the new heaven and new earth where God will forever be with us and there will be no more bad stuff!

We’re going to have a break the coming Friday and continue YYA on the 6th November. Sorry I (Vince) didn’t announce this last night. As such, the rosters have also changed, so be sure to check out the roster below (or in the usual rosters page) for the actual roster! We’ll be studying the final chapter of Revelation!

There’s the AGM after tomorrow’s service on the 25th as well, and lunch afterwards. The week after that, we have a combined anniversary service on Sunday the 1st November.

Hi there! This Friday the 23rd October we’ll be continuing on with Revelation chapter 21 and we get to read about the future heaven in eternity. It’s truly awesome, hope to see you there!

Remember, on Sunday we will be having the combined-service AGM after the regular Sunday English service, and lunch after the AGM. Hope to see you there too and have fellowship across the services for the glory of God!

YYA: 16th October, Friday Night

It was great to see so many people at the bowling event where we had fun, fellowship, games and a bit of a workout! =P Also great to see people back at bible study, and a new game to play (curling!) for the youth, one which perhaps could be improved to be very fun like in VS Arashi or Wii sports hehe.

Next week we’ll be studying a chapter with a bit of debate, and while keeping in mind to focus on the big picture and main points, it can be beneficial to study the different points of views on the exact workings and details. With the worksheet this week, there are a few infosheets, which you should definitely read before the study on Friday!

There’s also an English Service committee’s ministry update this Sunday after the regular service, which will outline the direction the service will be taking after taking into account the feedback from the last ministry workshop session. Do come! You can also pray for their meeting happening this Saturday (today).
