Advent Devotion + Dec birthdays

Today at CG we spent more time for worship, and did a short devotion on the Christmas Advent.

IT WAS NOT suddenly and unannounced that Jesus came into the world. He came into a world that had been prepared for him. The whole Old Testament is the story of a special preparation … . Only when all was ready, only in the fullness of his time, did Jesus come.

We also celebrated our December babies, namely Nat, Meifong, Lynnett and Wenxing (Tiff and Joel too). Heather also generously provided a Christmas logcake, which the CG heartily enjoyed. :)

Baptism Sunday

This Sunday, 2 of our CG members, Sharon and Joy, transferred their church membership to Bartley. Praise God for their decision to be identified with and committed to our church.

Prayer & Praise (Dec)

It was truly a blessed time this last P&P of 2005, to hear from the many testimonies of God's working in people's life, especially salvations of family members. For those who missed it, here are the prayer points on our Core Values for your prayers.
