The full song!

Alright guys, study smart for the up and coming exams, all the best to the year 12s and uni students! But if you have the time, hopefully this will help calm your nerves a bit.



OUT OF THE WORLD INTO THE WORLD

Order: Intro. Verse1, Chorus, Musical interlude, Verse2, Chorus, Chorus, Out-tro

(Verse1)
In sin I kneel before You now,
Crying out to you Lord I know I am most foul,
Glorious, is Your word, it rids my heart of pain,
Jesus, I find peace in Your name.

Holy spirit, work within me,
I step back to the world because you set me free,
Glorious is Your word, I proclaim your steadfast love,
It breaks these chains that tie me to the earth!

(Chorus)
Out of the world
Into the world
We will march forth
Spreading His word

Out of the world
Into the world
We share it all
The gift of His love

(Verse 2)
In You we have the victory
Not to conform but be transformed internally,
Glorious is your word, the power of Your name
Defeat no more we all proclaim.

The daily battle rages on,
Brothers and sisters know that we are not alone,
Standing firm, hand in hand, we face the trials and strife,
In men is death, but Christ in us is life!

Ugna bonus pugna of fides. Take habitum of eternus vita quibus vos erant accersitus ut vos no vestri bonus profiteor in presentia of plures testis. “Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses” - 1 Timothy 6:12

Enjoy! Remember that we're gonna have great fun in Melbourne this December!

Created by GOD through his servants Edwin and Sebastian.

"We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy table but thou art the same Lord whose property is always to have mercy"

20 October: Farewell Dinner

I apologise that this is late, although I'm not sure anybody actually was affected negatively in any way. Anyhow, I'll still post for the sake of regularity.

Tomorrow at Youth we are having a Pot Luck dinner to 'celebrate' Rev. Alex and Aunty Lucy's time with us. It will be the last time that they will be with us for a long while - at least until next year. They're going back into retirement and will be travelling on the road, around Australia. When you see them tomorrow, please take the opportunity to thank them for their constant love, support and encouragement to our Youth - we certainly wouldn't be who we are today without them. Everybody agree?

The details are slightly different from usual:

Time: 6:30pm
Place: Education Building (not sanctuary)
Bring: a plate to share! (if you can't cook, ask your mum...?)

There will be no band; there'll be just a few songs before we say grace and tuck in. Hope to see you all there!

World Methodist Council

Did you know that our church - Kingsway Methodist Church - is under the umbrella of the Chinese Methodist Church in Australia (CMCA)? The CMCA is a member of the World Methodist Council, an organisation of churches in the Methodist (Wesleyan) tradition. There are 76 member denominations in 132 countries. See here for more info.

The World Methodist Council has eight committees. One of them is the Youth committee and its motto is based on the following:

1st Timothy 4:12 and Ephesians 4:12-13: "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set and example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. To equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ."

I think that is something we should all try to live up to.

For more information on Methodism and what it's actually about, click here. Please keep in mind that Wikipedia is a website that anyone can edit (but I think its articles are quite sound). It's good to know where our church lies in the whole spectrum.

EMYF - Melbourne Teaser

This is from Edwin.



He says "Hope you guys like this teaser, will be working on the rest of the song hopefully with the help of whoever is interested. The lyrics to the chorus are in the last picture, any feedback, advice or tips will be greatly appreciated"

Melbourne Convention - Theme Song Competition

I was just looking at the Melbourne Convention website (here), and I found this:


If anybody wants to write a theme song, do it soon! You can ask me for help if you want?!! Although I don't really know anything. Anyway, it's a fun thing to do, I hope we can do something!
