CentralA CG on Good Friday! :DA big hello from the JC ministry! We had our unit prayermeet in America Room after service on Saturday.
The unit playing some games before prayermeet actually began. (: You see, JC people know how to have fun!
The testimony by Jiexun and Kenneth. It was really heartwarming to hear their story and how God is truly in the centre of their friendship!
Some of the audience during the testimony. (It was really funny to listen to them, actually.)
Then the worship and praying began.
Maybe we all took a long time to warm up and focus on God at first, but it didn't matter. That's because the moment our hearts became still and we listened, God moved.
What a turnaround.God's word for the evening was definitely about faith and having peace in Him. We gave all our burdens in exchange for rest in His arms.
It's been a while since you've heard from CE on this blog. (: So allow the CE blogger to enlighten you on what's been happening in our unit.
There's been some restructuring lately, and the changes will take place with effect from next week. So pray for us and with us that God will grow us in both quality and quantity. And that we will remain united in vision as well.
And I heard Central D had their prayermeet too? (:

HELLO! :)BELATED EASTER WEEK!
this is supposed to be up one week ago but i had some delays, so am really sorry about that!!
and there are quite a lot of missing photos which i was unable to get, so i will edit this when i finally received them.
the reason why i decided to post this first cause it is really overdued.
look at the title: Good Friday.
REALLY SORRY !! :(
anyway, now update you about our happening group! :D
unfortunately we didn't take any photos during Central Steamboat Gathering.
but we only had 5 people present cause Central A is a a group of very busy as well as very obedient people.
busy- long hours of CCA, SYF practise(or is it practice? HAHAH)...
obedient- parents don't allow to go cause too late..
however, although we had only 5 people, we had loads of funn eating don't we? :D
and Central A loves eating, especially fruits!
we went crazy, chionging to get watermelon when we saw some other random people eating watermelon, HAHA.
and when we reach the fruit place, no more watermelons left..
WAH, BIG DISAPPOINTMENT PLEASE.
BUT we got a second helping of (honeydew?) melons. :D
anyway, back to my focus on blogging today and that is,
our FUN-FILLED combined care group on Good Friday! :D
we met at Harbourfront MRT at 11am, but some of us are rather late..
so we only started games at around 12+, HAHAH.
it was an "Amazing Race" type of race, but much more relaxed cause the time limit was very long, haha.
we were split into 2 groups.
the first group consisting of Nicole, Szemin and Hannah,
and the second being Angelina, Jing Er, Sharlene and myself.
we had several stations, first station being where we were supposed to eat our lunch/brunch.
we were given clues to find out where we are supposed to eat.
let's see if you can guess them, HAHA. :P
first group's clue: Democratic Eating Place
second group's clue: Meet Zhang Ziyi and Daniel Wu at...?
guess! :D
i will not tell you the answers till the end of the post. AHAHA.
and there were other several stations where we were given clues to the place where we had to complete a certain task.
sorry for being really biased, but since i was from the second group, i shall go by the order of the stations which we went to(the stations are in different order for the two groups), as well as how the game went by in our group.
second station: the chinese characters of "ai sheng shi di".
we were rather stumped. haha.
so we chiong-ed to the directory to look, and hey, it wasn't that bad, we figured it out!
let's see if you can get it right. ;D
our task was to take a picture of something bearing the date of "7th April".
-supposedly the photo of the something which i was not able to get-
and ON to our third station!
it was an anagram of "ovvi tram".
and we figured it out after a few minutes, and rushed over the the place and did our task of buying some cereals, and for the other group, milk. :)
continue guessing the clues!
over to fourth station.
WAH, this is the killer station which we were really really stumped.
"Richest Place On Earth"
even after rushing over to the directory once again, we didn't get the clue right till some time later.
and we went over to the "Richest Place On Earth" and did our task of..
-supposed to be photos of whatever we had taken-
then we received the next clue, which is "Peaceful Water Is Land".
and our dear Sharlene was really smart to join "Is" and "Land" together to form the word Island! :) that's a really Big clue, you should know where was the place is, haha.
and so we rushed over, and ohmygoodness, saw group one coming out. afraid that we were lagging behind, we quickly fulfilled our task:
-supposed to be a group two's photo of whatever we were supposed to do-
and,
-supposed to be group one's photo of whatever we had to do-
our next clue was "Two Yen", yen being the Japanese currency. we managed to figure it out after a few minutes of panick, haha!
we completed our task of:
-yes, another supposed to be photo of us doing the task-
our final clue was, very easy, i think you'll know it once you hear it just like us, HAHAH. :P
the chinese characters, "Wo Men Shi Wan Ju".
by now, we were so afraid that we're lagging behind that we ran to the final station,
only to see the other group walking out of the place.
our faces because like this: O_O
and we rushed to complete our task of picking out something symbolising us and take a photo with it.
at that time, angelina had left our group already, to help the CG planners with something.
so here are the photos:
-which again, i did not manage to get :(-
after completing the final task, we sprinted, and yes, i really mean sprint, towards the ending point of the game:
Harbourfront Mrt Station's UOB ATM machine, haha.
AND WE WON!
HURRAY, GROUP TWO WON! :D
(haha, sorry i am really biased..)
our prize was a few Kinder Bueno. :)
then we waited for the game masters and the other group to come back.
then together we went up to the roof top where we had something like a picnic! :D
cereals + milk (which explains why we had to buy cereals and the other group, milk) and whatever snacks we had brought from home. :)
and the view was so beautiful!
After our "picnic", we decided to go with our plans of going to Sentosa despite the limited time left.
Off we went!
and when we reach there, we took the Sentosa buses to our destination of Tanjong Beach as it is usually the one with least people cause it's too far in, HAHA.
Hey, it's true!
Central Outing was held there last year as well!
On the bus!
and another photo!
after reaching the stop, we walked and walked and walked and we reached our destination!
and here comes our slogan since CG Madness-
HURRAY FOR CENTRAL A; GEEKY HEROES(in this photo, it's Ultraman) FOR JESUS!
okay,a proper Central A photo. :)
then we had a good time of worship by the sea. :)
it was good, going into a spirit of worship on a peaceful place like a beach.
and looked what szemin drew on the sand!
and on the sandy beach, we can't help it, we all miss Sandy,
as well as Claire and of course, Kelly.
But we all know that God have a better plan for them in their new group! :)
besides, we're are still serving the same God and all of us are in the same family of God! :)
after worship, we were split into pairs, where we were given the challenge of going into a new level of spirituality, to prophesize for each other, as well as pray for each other and just going into deeper sharing of our lives to each other. :)
that's Central A's Good Friday for you!
nothing better than spending quality FUN&GOD-FILLED day with your people on Good Friday! :)
Easter may be over but let us continue to do our best for God's Kingdom!
don't stop to invite friends and share the Gospel just because there is no special service,
we should have evangelising in our lifestyle! :)
& PRAISE GOD!
Central A sees not one, not two, but THREE new sisters who crossed the line of faith and into God's Kingdom! :D
OH, and here are the answers. :P
but actually since you know of the tasks in each station, it should be really easy for you to guess the place right.
first station:
first group- Food Republic
second group- Banquet (the movie starred Daniel Wu & Zhang Ziyi)
second station: Action City
third station: Vivo Mart
fourth station: Golden Village
fifth station: River Island
sixth station: Daiso (HAHA! you get it?)
seventh station: Toys R' Us
okay, remember ah,
don't stop inviting friends as well as sharing the Gospel! :D

Central C had an outing on the 16th of March at East Coast Park!
Our lovely game masters! (Clara and Hazel!)
Ordered to fill up water bombs
And that's only a tenth (tithe) of the bombs we got
Then ACTION!
Fengy being exploded by water bomb (Sorry Fengy, but you don't really look that bad!)
Panic! At the beach!
Yeah, Central C may be made up of all girls, but that's not what you see here
Both teams ended up in a tie! And both had to do forfeits!
Singing with weird mixture in their mouths. (I believe it was chrysantemum(sp?!) mixed with orange squash, and some food? But interesting that some said it tasted ok!)
Doing jumping jacks in the sea, worse than training (They look like they're worshipping Jesus)
Then it was time to eat. (I believe Central C is made up of pigs too! Esp Huiwei :X)
Evidence (Look at her happy face at the sight of hotdog with cheese!)
Fengy and Clarice the BBQ experts
We cook well, just look at the chicken
Daniel, our saviour, appeared when the fire failed to ignite!
Then we had a night out at sea!
We love JC! (NOT Junior College!)
