3rd August - Question Night

Well, holidays are over the study cycle resumes :O
This coming week's youth involves a special bible study session which comes in the form of question night. In the last bible study session, you were all given an opportunity to write down any questions of an religous nature that might be pondering your mind. (well... hopefully you did)

If not, on the spot questions will also be taken on the night. These questions will be answered by our panel which will include Rev. Elijah and a few other experienced members. So if you have any further questions (that were not handed in to your small group leader) please write in on a piece of paper and bring it on the night, or if you have a superb memory, just remember what the question is and ask it on the night. But remember not all questions can be answered with a concrete correct answer, as only God has the ability to do that! But the panel will answer your questions as well as they possibly can.

Oh, and remember to pray for the TEE students! The time is drawing near.... Ganbatte!!
Here is a list of Yr12's undergoing such trials =P
Kim Chang, Ellainne Cheng, Karen Ng, Wendy Tan, Richard Chew, Jason Fang, Hanson Foo, Harry Guo, Esmond Lai, Bruce Ling, James Tan, Edward Ting, David Yat.

TEE Shirt Forms are also due in!! Reminder there is NO youth on the 10/8/07 because we will have a combined youth on the night after @ Bluegum Recreation Centre. Details will be released soon!

Hope you have smashing week!
God Bless

Hmmm.. Something interesting i came across...

Greetings fellow churchmates, i happened to be browsing through a couple of books and i found this particular one that might be of interest to you all. It covers a VERY controversial issue that most modern churches face.

Camp 2007 Photos

Hi everybody!

Photos (and videos) from our Winter Camp 2007 at Lancelin are finally up. Apologies for the delay; I hope you find the layout nice and easy to use!

Please click HERE! or click the picture.

The photos may take a bit more time than usual to load, I've changed the standard resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768 (if that means anything to you), so they're slightly higher quality now.

Much thanks to Kevin, Rachael, Kim Tan and Andrew Tan for providing me with extra photos and videos!

Camp was a great success and even though I was there for only one day, I had a really good time. Pat on the back to Rebecca and the camp committee for organising it brilliantly!

God bless,

Jono

ps. Photos from last Saturday's combined Matilda Bay Outing with the CMYF are up on the CMYF's website. Thanks to them for putting it up! Click here to have a look.

TSHIRTS

helloo helloo

me amY again =) just wanted to pop in to update you guys on the TSHIRTS....

now.. we haven't yet placed any orders because we initially hadn't met the quota of 50 shirts but seeing as we've only got about 30 people buying TSHIRTS and don't seem to have any other people wanting one.. we will be placing orders for just however many shirts we have... but of course we would like to reach the quota of 50 shirts.... sooooo... this is your LAST CHANCE to place an order for a shirt... if you can't pay now... just put in an order and pay later... but payment as soon as possible would be preferrable =)

we are nice people... so have decided to give you all one last chance if you wanted to get a tshirt... we won't be postponing it anymore because we decided... if you really wanted a shirt.. you probably would have already done so seeing as everyone is on holidays and has all the time in the world other than studies to place an order =Pp soooo... the deadline is 30th July.


This is when Renate WILL be placing the orders... so if you don't get in before then... then we're gonna have to say "sorry... im afraid you've missed out" and why would you NOT wanna miss out??? coz we will be having Friday nights where everyone will come dressed in their shirts and look super duper spunky cool... u even get them in RED or BLUE.. so.. if u don't have a tshirt... it means u can't wear one and look like everyone else right?? sooo... hurry and get those shirts so you can join in the fun and be like 'one of us' =)

for those who would like a shirt but seriously have financial problems... please see myself or renate and we will try to sort something out for you =)

oritey... i will put up the tshirt design here soon so stay tuned... we're putting on the final

touches and then its away to the printers ^^ oh yes... committee members... i strongly advise you to get a shirt... seeing as you are part of the committee.... all the better to show ur support for EMYF! =)

oh yes.. i have the order forms so if you need one, please come and see me and i will give you as many forms as you wish =)

oritey then... God bless!

AYC Sydney 2007

hello everyone!

ok so i'm at the right place =) i wanted to blog but this site looks so technical that i never really dared play around so i've always asked kev to do things for me on this site.. but since he's a tad busy these days.. i thot i'd give it a shot and blog.. so here i am blogging at this site for the first time ^^

as you all know and are very familiar... AYC (Annual Youth Convention) is not long to go... its going to be happening on 2nd to 5th Dec 2007 at Stanwell Tops Convention Centre in Sydney. Sydney EMYF have done a tremendous job in putting together this year's AYC and im sure it will be a blast! last year was totally awesome and im sure this year it will be just as good =D Sydney is also a good place for shopping and just tourism in general... so do take the time to go if you can... book those tickets in early.. put in ur holiday leave with work early and get set to enjoy the time of ur life at AYC Sydney 2007.

Registration is now open so feel free to get in early and register online. You can register online or you can fill in a registration form which I will hand out SOON. Payment for Sydney convention can either be paid to Ivan Lau or a cheque can be written to the address that is on the website. I do suggest that you register by form and hand both your form and money to Ivan, that way he can have a clear record of who has registered and who has paid and then collate all the money from our youth group and send in ONE BIG CHEQUE =)

The website for this years AYC is...
