Going into a new year...

Hello everyone!

I hope you are all well.
Just wanted to let you guys know about committee elections for 2009.
This year, there will be NO ELECTIONS.. instead, Rev Chew will be appointing people to the various positions.

The positions are as follows:

-President
-Vice President
-Treasurer
-Secretary
-Music & Outreach
-Many Bible Study/Small group leaders

Nominations are open to all members of Manna Alpha, Manna Beta and EMYF. So if you have been attending youth group regularly (or regularly prior EMYF splitting) and are baptized, we want YOU! Exceptions may be considered accordingly.

Do consider these few positions and start nominating your friends or yourselves!! There may seem like there are only a few positions but DON'T let this deter you from nominating.... if you are truly passionate about an area, we can always consider it and maybe even create a position for you. Also, many of these positions will do more than their primary role so if there are more nominations, we may look into creating more positions to lighten the load for each person =) Do take the time to pray for yourself and everyone else who may be nominating someone/themselves.

Here is how you can set our your nominations..

Your Name:
Name of person you're nominating:
Position nominated for:
Why you nominated that person/yourself:

So get NOMINATING!! Nominations are open NOW and will close on 14th November 2008.

Please email your nominations to Sean Heah heahsean@gmail.com. These will be collated and passed onto Rev Chew. Sean or Rev Chew will then approach you (the person being nominated) to further discuss the positions with you.

Thank you all and happy nominating =)
God bless you,
Amy

The DOULOS is COMING to town!!!!!!!

Hello all!

Have you heard about the Doulos ship?? It's coming to town on the 11th October!!

Here's a quick snap shot of the Doulos. If you want more information you can visit http://www.doulosdownunder.org.au/Page.aspx?pid=197

So...

What is it??
Doulos was purchased in 1977 by GBA Ships e.V. (previously known as Good Books for All), a private, non-profit, charitable organisation registered in Germany.
Over 20 million visitors have been welcomed on board for tours, programmes and visits to the floating book fair. With stops in over 500 ports of call, this unique ship has visited more than 100 countries in including Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East and many island nations.

Doulos is recognised in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's oldest active ocean-going passenger ship.

Its purpose?
Doulos visits port cities throughout the world, supplying vital literature resources, encouraging inter-cultural understanding, training young people for more effective life and service, promoting greater global awareness, providing practical aid and sharing a message of hope in God wherever there is opportunity.
