Hello Peeps!

I guess you are all quite aware that the photos haven't been posted up on time, and I say you all are right. Well, I haven't found the time to upload them and present them in a cohesive fashion on this blog.

Please keep Li Wei in your prayers, as she is still on the road to recovery. Thanks goes out to those who have prayed for her. We can never know if we will meet with such situations, but rest assured that God is in full control. Continue to pray for her.

Youth Saturday Service (19 May 2007)

In this second installment of B.A.D, the youth came together yet again to hear the message on a prevalent problem in our lives: Addiction. The message was prepared and presented by our very own Vincent Lim. Although we had no slides to speak of, Joel took the initiative to type out the slides as the sermon went.

We face the dangers of addiction everyday and even worse, indulge in it and putting God off 'till later. What do you worship in life? Remember the Addiction Cycle? It is never too late to get out of the pig house/sty!

Next up: The photos.

The Sat starts off with Ray looking like the despondent 'father' of Jeremiah:


The worship team came down early to practice...take a close look at Raimy and Jeremy.


Tim shows how worked up he is before the service, while Johan enjoys a cool sip of legendary A&W Root Beer.



Worship kicks the service to a start, and here is the team in action:


Managed to catch the slides changing on the screen.


Joel: Laptop Powerpoint-during-the-sermon Meister.


Not to forget, the post-service action! Here are 3 gals posing for this one:


Qi Hui, Jamie and Nathan pose for a shot.


And here's a cool Zi Jing finally caught on camera, and signalling the end of the photos for Sat.



Sunday Service (20 May 2007)

Every Sunday is a special day, and this one is no different. The sermon of the day was titled 'Jesus - The Harmony Between Man and God', and delivered by Elder Yeoh. Jesus is Immanuel and has gifted us peace and access to God. Are we living and loving like Jesus?

Allow me to present the photos of the day.

Here's Elliot starting off our Sunday:


The PA/MM Team in pre-service preparation, and Shumei doing what girls typically do:



The worship team came up on stage and started off the service.



View of the congregation from the front.



As the music faded, Moses came up for the Pastoral Prayer. He recently graduated and was heading back to India soon.



Elder Yeoh up on stage and presenting his sermon, 'Jesus - The Harmony Between Man and God'.


Tithing was next, and the worship team filled the hall with 'What Can I Do', as the usherers collected the tithes. Here is Marianna and Grace in action.


Here are the close-ups of Joel and Ser Lin on stage.



The usherers present the tithes to the chairman, which was to be followed by Gloria Patri.



Bro. Kok Yuin was the chairman, and here he is welcoming new friends to NLC.


As service ended, my camera didn't fail to be hijacked haha. Here's a shot of the stained glass that looks nice.



Nathan 'Saudi Arabia' Wan shows us how economically viable his face is...


Notice Wei Wen's hands. Even though he is talking to someone else, he still can creep those fingers in!



Eman and Nathan jumping for joy in this photo.


PIT endorsed trepassing.


And...the Refigerator from Nowhere! Looked like it dropped from the sky right?


Well, if you're interested, Vinzzz has a story on this fabled box.



Well, that ends this episode of photos! I haven't posted the ones for last week here yet as I need to make my way for dinner before Zhong Yang's concert. Hope it goes well and I thank you for viewing these photos.

As usual, I am unable to flood this humble blog with all the photos. I recommend you take a lookie at the albums themselves. Well the URLs are found right here:
