Announcement from the Elders

The Oversight wishes to inform that after listening to the various opinions regarding the changes mooted, and after prayerful consideration, the following decisions have been made:
 

 

The Lord's Supper 

 

 

Original time 9:00am

New time 9:30am 

When October 2011 onwards

 

WHY?

• To accommodate the Young Adults who will be having their twice-a-month prayer and Bible study small group meeting on Saturday evening. 
• It is hoped that the later start will be more amicable to the University students who will be part of the Young Adults ministry.

Cell Groups 

 

For those who are not currently attending any of the two existing house groups (see here) or will not be attending the Young Adults group, we wish to strongly encourage you to do so and for that reason we will assign every one to one or the other house group.

The two existing house groups will continue to meet at 8:15 pm on Fridays and the Young Adults Fellowship will meet on the first and third Saturday of each month.

 

On the 5th Saturday of the month, all the three groups will meet in MGC for a fellowship dinner and prayer.

 

Youth Meeting

 

 

 

Original time 12:00pm, Sunday

New time 4:00 - 6:00pm, Saturday (same as the Children's Hour)

 

The Oversight notes with satisfaction and with thanksgiving to our LORD, the active role played by the Young Adults in the teens and children work.

 

Extension

 

 

 

Cost RM95,000 (extension) + RM50,000 (air-con + furniture)

Available Funds Approximately RM60,000 

Pledge yet to be received RM15,000

 

WHY? 

To meet the space requirements of the various ministries. 

 

The Oversight has, with the encouragement of the shared vision of the Saints, decided to proceed in faith with the building of the extension.

 

Prayer

 

 

 

Originally 8:15pm, Wednesday

Change 8:15pm, Wednesday + Formal prayer session @ Cell Groups

Need Prayer Coordinators to draw up prayer items in the weekly bulletin

 

Sunday Brunch

 

 

 

It was clear from the feedback received that the brunch fellowship had greatly facilitated the building of close ties amongst the assembly and it will be unwise to abandon it or reduce the time available for the fellowship.
