Please bring your favourite dish along to share for a memorable dinner time.
START A NEW YEAR WITH PRAYER
In prayer, human beings seek to augment their finite energy by addressing themselves to the Infinite source of all energy. When we pray, we link ourselves with the inexhaustible motive power that spins the universe. We pray that a part of this power can be apportioned to our needs. Even in asking, our human deficiencies are filled as we arise strengthened and repaired.
– Dr. Alexis Carrel, Nobel prize winner and author of Man, the Unknown
Puji, the Chairperson of last Sunday service, mentioed that, "when we set our hearts to pursue career, family or things on earth, we can probably achieve something. But when we set our hearts to pursue God and His purpose, we find everything!
Let's start the year of 2011 with a prayerful heart to pursue what God values and put us on earth for!
Ps Lai Ling had the impression from the Lord that as we earnestly seek Him together (with the rest of HIM churches), there’s going to come not just streams of His blessings and breakthrough and outpouring but that the streams become rivers; small to big rivers overflowing in the lives of His people and in the church as a corporate body.
So let's click on the link below to pray for yourself and the Bride of Jesus Christ - our church!
ACTION YOUR FAITH

[source]
"Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment." 1 Timothy 6:17 (NIV)
As the new year begins, it means that the current phase of building fund is drawing nearer to a closure, for those who have pledged for the House of God, you are reminded to put into action of your faith by fulfilling your pledge.
No matter how big or small our budget is, we can make a difference.
Remember the cause of Her Bride. If the church is so significant that Jesus died on the cross for it, "Christ loved the church and gave his life for it"(Ephesians 5:25 GWT), what have you done in bringing God's Kingdom to the earth?
As our contribution to the church building supports the church to reach out to many more in Jesus' Name, we provide something much more valuable than any earthly treasure.
We share the gift of hope!

That's the same for all of us who knows and follows Christ.

God wants us too, to learn and grow in loving the family He has given to us. For He has thought it through before He allowed us to be born into a family and it was not an accident we have been placed into this particular family. So hopefully the article below gives you some tips to love your family more in the coming new year.
How to L.O.V.E Your Family By Mac McIntire
1
Listen unconditionally. Clear your mind of any judgments or preconceived notions you may have about the person or their ideas. Hear them out fully before drawing conclusions or taking action.
2
Overlook flaws and faults. Look for the good in people. Most of us only see the exceptions, the discrepancies, the negatives. It is much more difficult to notice the every day and routine successes people achieve. Too often we take for granted their good behaviors and only point out the bad. You need to "catch people doing things right."
3
Voice your approval on a regular basis. Your family members need to be acknowledged. They need recognition and reinforcement. They need to know they are valued and what they do is good. No matter how long a couple has been married or how old one becomes, we all still covet the approval of our spouse, children , friends, and, yes, even our mothers. It motivates us when we know what we do meets the approval of others.
4
Extend yourself by spending time and showing interest. There is no greater motivator of people, whether our spouse or our children, than to spend quality time with them. Spend time with your family. Go to where they are. Talk on their level. Show interest in what they are doing and how they are doing it. Find out what is important to them and take a genuine interest in it. Ask meaningful questions. Listen to the answers and respond appropriately. Focus only on them. Don't have somewhere else to go. There is nothing you could do that is more important than talking to your family.

IN WORSHIP: HEALTHY LIVING as an ACT of WORSHIP
He is, after all, the Creator of all things, my body and my soul included. Wouldn’t He be pleased if I try to take care of it well?
The thing about Jesus sacrificing His Son and covering over all of our sins on the cross is that we don’t have to DO anything to please God. He is pleased with us. Period.
But as a rule, I see healthy living as one more step in setting my life in a rhythm that acknowledges God, His creation, His presence. It brings me closer to Him; no, I draw closer to Him with every glass of water, every bowl of brown rice. I see the beauty of His creation around me, and I recognize it in my own life; so I want to take care of all things well – my body and my world.
When I strive to make decisions of health, I think God is pleased.

Host your own Fundraiser
J.R wrote in from the 'Blue Mtns' of Victoria - The Macedon Ranges. This year one of the members of her Apex 40 club volunteered to cater for a Christmas in July, and 24 sat down to a traditional 4 course meal in their dining/living room. The money that was left over went, on her request, to the Pink Ribbon section of the Anti-Cancer Council. A simple fun idea that everyone can do, to benefit charity.
