Hi there peeps!

How are you all doing? I was dead tired and I slept for 6 hours straight after coming home. Bleh...anyway, I will be doing my best to upload photos onto the blog and I am starting from the last last week. So I have to say that the Refresh photos will take some time, and they will be out soon.

Li Wei is in the stages of getting well and the road does seem long for her. Continue to keep her in our prayers and God's Will be done. Your prayers are appreciated.

Also, some of our youth are currently overseas. Brothers Siming, Jiayi and Huzaen are away and will only be back in a couple of months. Pray for their safety as they go about in their foreign duties.

Without further delay, allow me to present to you the photos from last week:

Youth Saturday Service (9th June 2007)

The 9th was certainly a special Saturday for NLYM, for it was the first time the youth service shifted from the cosy Bridge to its new venue: Hall 401. Our new friends were treated to a landmark event.

Lots of preparation was in place to ensure the running of the service went by smoothly. Thanks go out to Bro. Hock Seng who kindly came down to help out in the PA/MM.

Also, it was the first episode of a new sermon series, 'Jesus versus Satan', and the NLYM drama team came up with a skit for the youth. I guess none of you would forget the antics of Jeremy in his Scream mask.

The sermon of the day was delivered by the PIT, Vincent Lim. Do you remember the profiles of Jesus and Satan? There is a huge difference between them and do well to choose wisely. A revealing question was asked of us, 'Do you know Jesus well enough?'. Do well to seek after His heart.

And let's move on with the photos, and here's Tim giving us the double salute:


Elijah pops out with this one.


Qi Wen and Hui Qi seen here in this shot.

Sunday Service (10th June 2007)

This Sunday was one not to be missed - that is if you were on the ROMJ cruise. A few of our very own youth went on the cruise.

It was Combined Service for the day, and the congregation came together in the main sanctuary for the service. Rev Dr Abraham Lee presented to us 'Jesus - Turn You Emptiness into Abundance', and Mrs Eunice Lee was his interpreter.

In the message there was 1 telling question that we should do well to remind ourselves frequently - Are you inviting Jesus into the marriage of your life?'. He is more than happy to be part of the marriage.

And now, let's move on to the photos of the day!

Sunday School first, and here's my class. Bro Kok Yuin, Nathan, Jeremy and Zhongyang.


Here's Joel and Kaisiang helping Auntie Pauline up the ramp.


Usherers make our days a Sunday. Below are Marianna and John seen in action.
