Recounting 2007!
The last four 2007 happening events for FIBC Youthies! (bear with the long entry!)
Decked in black, the carollers were the stars for the night as many of the audience took pix and videos of their singing! But most importantly, we were glad to be part of an evangelistic programme for the night! Thank God for the good response as the PRCs sung & hum along with us...Kudos to Derrick & Michelle who co-ordinated the pieces & Spencer & Irving for their lovely guitaring and to all the youths who participated in this event!
We thank God for the good turnout and for the opportunity to catch up with old friends & also the chance to bring our loved ones and friends to church.. here are some photos to savour the moments!
(Edit: I realised i don't have any photos now...Ha...just imagine k?)
SYFC PRC Christmas Party
Though it was not the first time that FI was carolling, we were glad to bring cheer to a group of Chinese nationals (polytechnic students) at this warm (*pun intended) & cosy Christmas party. Amidst the rain, the lack of a good stage, we bravely put up a repertoire of 7-10 Christmas items, including "We Were The Reason", "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" in parts (Woohoo!), "Siyahamba", Derrick aka Huaxing's solo "O Holy Night" and 2 Chinese carols!

Christmas Service 2007
This year, we were back with the lovely Christmas lunch at Ferntree Cafe. Thank God for Brother Choon Yee's hard work as we tuck into our favourite Christmas foods! It was a great time of encouragement as we listened to Pastor's sermon and reminded by the carols of God's great love for us... Yes, the youths performed again!We thank God for the good turnout and for the opportunity to catch up with old friends & also the chance to bring our loved ones and friends to church.. here are some photos to savour the moments!

Youth Camp 2007: Waiting For The Best!
Yup, this is probably the highlight of the year for the FIBC Youth Ministry! A total of 27 campers (full-time & part-time) turned up for this exciting camp themed: Waiting For The Best! Through Pastor's preaching, we learned the importance of abstinence from sex before marriage, pros & cons of dating and also personally set standards for our dating relationships.
Check out what happened over the three days of camp...
Then time to make our group identity! You will be surprised at the creativity of the FIBC Youths!
We had a romantic lunch at the boardwalk shelter cos' it rained while we were eating! Ha ha.. After lunch, we proceeded to check-in at the chalet...
Amanda painting the small flowers for Faithfulness. William & Johanna drawing their 3-D sheep!
@ Aloha Changi Chalet M, we had...icebreaker games for you & me!
Demonstration by our models Seth & Glen :)
On the first round, Pastor brought us through fast facts of Sex in Sin City. It was alarming to know that more and more youths were involved in pre-marital sex. There was also an increase of youth seeking help for sex-related diseases. We also presented the kind of qualities we looked for our life partners. It was quite fun seeing traits such as beautiful, > 1.74m tall being presented.
Pastor reminded us that it's alright to have certain kind of preferences when it comes to attraction of the opposite gender. However, we need to remember not to yoke with unbelievers as that will be totally against God's agenda for us.
Two verses that Pastor reminded us were in Psalm 119:9 "How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word." and 1 Thessalonians 4:3-4 "It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable"
Group Faithfulness' hero Jeriel saved the day by running fast & swift! With little covering, he still managed to keep his "little girl" picture intact! So the winning group was...
(Note: prophecy? cos' this was the only group that took photo before the actual games started.....scary!!haa)
our unsung heroes!
we watched a video titled Choices after the sumptuous zichar dinner & roasted chicken (thanks to deacon edwin & auntie lucilla's treat!) A humble local production, it reminded the youths about choices that we all have to make in life, especially about relationships. The abortion images captured our attention greatly. It never occurred to us that the processes of abortion could be so graphic. Never listen to the myths that it's just flushing out of some cells. As long as the foetus is formed, it's a new life in one's body.
We rounded off the night with signing of the abstinence pledge, a covenant between us & God to abstain from sex before marriage.
During watchnight, we presented the Best Camper award to Ian! Most of us were encouraged by his great attitude during this camp. Faithfulness was the winning group! Pastor also presented our lovely souvenirs to each camper!
we took turns to share our thanksgivings for 2007. the youths were well-prepared with their RBC sheep cards. We also were blessed by Pastor's sharing, watching Bro Wilson's video & also the touching testimony of a nose cancer patient. And as usual, we started the first few moments of 2008 with sparklers!
It was a great 4D3N spent with the lovely FIBC Youths. May we continue to cherish the lessons learnt, reminisce the great moments of 2007. Let's stay united for Christ in 2008!
Check out what happened over the three days of camp...
