Friendship Day

Whats up everyone!! In conjunction with Valentines Day (and for us single people out there- Single's Awareness Day) tomorrow, we had our special BGR themed session this week called "XXY"!! (No, it's not the chromosome structure of a man with female body parts)



We started off with a worship lead by Brian with songs such as "Rain Down" and "Burn".


We would also like to welcome 2 new people that was serving this week which are:
Joel (drums)


And Elvin (LCD)


Later, we had another cool ice-breaker game whereby people got "moderately" hurt and the person next to him/her would jeer. (no, its doesn't sound like a very kind game does it?). The game basically is a person gets hit by the person next him, then the person on the other side would say "ouch" and the next person would say "very good, very good!". Yea bad game right?


"OW!!"

Well, we had good results today where no less than 2 of the committee got "punished".
Chicken dance, anybody?



After that was done, we had our speaker, Pastor Gideon, to come and share with us about BGR.

Heloo, Pastor!


"There was a girl named AMY"

His message was simple. There are for kinds of love in Greek, which are: Eros, Philia, Storge and Agape and that we should love one another just as how Jesus and God have loved us.

Thats all we have for this week! We invite everyone to come again next Friday for another fun-filled CF!! Till then!

MAC-Ministry And calling

Hey again everyone! Yesterday we had "MAC" week. NO, we are not endorsing Apple products......It's "Ministry And Calling" week!!

Well, first of all, we once again began with a time of worship. Christine (Sr.) started off with a body-shaking "Trading My Sorrows" that really roused the crowed. We will like to take this opportunity to welcome and congratulate Desmond(guitarist) and Nathaniel(vocalist) for serving in the worship team this week. We DO admire your work.



Bust a move people!

Later, we had a little ice breaker referred to as the "Blanket Game". The main objective is for a team's representative to speak out the opponent team's representative's name before he/she does likewise. The veil of mystery of who that representative will be is provided by a blanket between them. It was a game that really suited the purpose of ice breaker as it encouraged everyone to know each other's name (at the least).



"Oh my gosh! What do I do!!!"

Finally, we had a very special guest that day in Grace Klang's Youth Pastor, Pastor Gurmit. His message was simple... We are all leaders and are called by God, and thus, we should use our blessings from God in service of his ministry. Simple, clear-cut and effective.


In any case, if anyone is interested in serving in any ministry, you can contact these people in respective to their ministry:
Sarah Low (ushering)- 012-3980153
Swee Vien (worship)- 012-3363972
Nicholas Wong (LCD)- 017-2008284
Kylie Cheong (publicity)- 012-2756715

Well, thats all for now! We hope to see you all next week for our Boy-Girl relationship themed "XXY" next week!! Until then!

Friendship Day

Welcome back everyone!

Today we had our very own friendship day to commemorate the Friday before we leave for the Chinese New Year break. We had a slightly different meeting compared to normal today, as everyone who went can tell you.

We started off with a soulful worship session lead by Raymond Ow. Songs such as "Friend of God" and "Light of the World" were sung.



After that, we had an unusual game that was planned by Brian Chow called "Banana Futsal".

The Infamous bananas


The rules are similar to a normal futsal game. 2 5-man teams square off on a small court, and try to kick a football with our feet into each other team's goal. The only difference between that and what we played is that instead a "football", we used a tennis ball; instead of a "goal", we used table legs; instead of "kick", we had "use-banana-tied-to-string-in-between-legs-to-hit-ball".

Teams set!


The way it should be


Oops, missing banana


Reina's replacement


Game ON!!


Later, we had a very special guest today. For the first time in ICF history, we had a MAGICIAN to perform/share with us.

Everyone, say hello to Zlwin Chew!




Here's a rough introduction. Zlwin Chew our magician for that day, who is only 20 years old and have invested an estimated amount of RM4000 on his magic.

How did he DO THAT!




Today, Zlwin had shown a number of magic *bleep*(i cant say tricks....Zlwin made a very clear point on that). With a couple of volunteers, he literally made the audience's mouth stay wide open. *gasp! and "What the h***" were quite audible, thank you.

Volunteer work



Rope irregularities




At the end, Zlwin shared a final magic *bleep* that literally showered us, coupling that with a life testimony, he really gave us something to remember.

Zlwin's final act


He later ended on a dissolving note with the song "Amazing Grace", and that was the end of that.

As next week is the Chinese New Year holidays, there will be no CF next Friday. We look forward to see all of on the Friday after that!!
