[14.03.2009] Social - Picnic

Hello all once again!

Because Mavarick wonderfully poked us for not doing a good job (dunno what to updateee), I decided to write about the picnic we had on Saturday.

So let me tell it from my point of view. Anyone else is welcome to blog from their point too. :)

I woke up that Saturday morning and was very delighted to see that it was bright and sunny. But the moment I stepped out of the bathroom after brushing up, it was gloomy and raining. -.-

So like Nastasha so aptly put it on her blog, we ended up having a "Pick-Nick" instead. We spread out the picnic mat on Nick's living room floor as though we were still picnic-ing. And as usual, the food was awesome! Not to mention a certain potato salad hmm? *wink*

Pammie's yummy muffins
- peanutbutter & jelly and er chocolate I think?

24 people turned up, which made me worry that we wouldn't have enough food. But somehow it was enough, and I remembered the story of Jesus feeding the multitude. No joke! Hahah.

Had two rounds of introduction. Went around talking and eating, listening to stories of NS and guns and bombs (so fun!), trying to ignore Mavarick who kept saying I put on weight (the evil guy), and eating again. Hehe.

All in all, it was a fun indoor picnic, which we should try doing again, preferably outdoors this time. :p

I have only one picture! Sorry, I was busy eating, sob sob. But if you guys have any pictures, please let me know or edit my post and add them k.

Also, those who went for the International Student lunch, this is your chance to blog about it! :)


Signing off,

Hi all! :)

I've very itchy-handedly updated the Itinerary and About Us on the side according to the flyer they gave out during the first Ignite. Hope the infos are correct and hope that you all don't mind. I was too free. >.<

Haha. Also, Jillian has sent out an email to all of us to vote on what we want to do for our social event. So if you haven't already, go vote here! Vote only once k. :)

Other than that, looking forward to a great sem with you guys!

New Year, New Vision!

I took the liberty of putting something up here so that when everyone (finally) returns, it won't be last year's posts that greet you^^

So, very quickly...A FEW UPDATES!=D


1. CHURCH NAME CHANGE
Richmond AOG is changing its name! One of the reasons being that branches outside the Richmond area might be established=) I believe they were open to name suggestions, but the deadline's apparently over now!


2. READING THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Two chapters a day, from both the old and new testaments, beginning Feb 1 should see us completing reading the entire Bible, this time, next year!=)


3. WEATHER
The weather here has been rather erratic. There was this massive heat wave last week, which I am thankful to have missed. It caused some electricity cuts and botched up the transport systems too. Yesterday was 46 degrees and insanely hot. Following week looks more forgiving though=)


4. CHURCH VISION
A NEW YEAR, so there's a NEW VISION!

This is The Year Of INCREASE.

As you come back, pray for God to open MORE opportunities and for MORE breakthroughs. Come back refreshed to start the year with a BIGGER fire and passion for God and people=)
