Pecans in the Cemetery
On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big, old pecan tree
just inside the cemetery fence. One day, two boys filled up a
bucketful of nuts and sat down by the tree, out of sight, and began
dividing the nuts. "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for
me," said one boy. Several dropped and rolled down toward the
fence.
Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle. As he
passed, he thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery. He
slowed down to investigate. Sure enough, he heard, "One for you,
one for me. One for you, one for me." He just knew what it was,
so he jumped back on his bike and rode off.
Now just around the bend he met an old man with a cane,
hobbling along. "Come here quick," said the boy, "you won't believe
what I heard! Satan and the Lord are down at the cemetery dividing
up the souls."
The man said, "Beat it kid, can't you see it's hard for me to
walk." When the boy insisted though, the man hobbled to the
cemetery. Standing by the fence they heard, "One for you, one for
me. One for you, one for me..." The old man whispered, "Boy,
you've been tellin' the truth. Let's see if we can see the Lord."
Shaking with fear, they peered through the fence yet were still
unable to see anything.
The old man and the boy gripped the wrought iron bars of the
fence tighter and tighter as they tried to get a glimpse of the
Lord.
At last they heard, "One for you, one for me. That's all. Now let's
go get those nuts by the fence and we'll be done."
They say the old man made it back to town a full 5 minutes
ahead of the boy on the bike!

060608 cell meeting debrief
Dear cell,
This is the debrief for 6june 2008!
anchor verse: Jn 15:16
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
=> We want to bear fruit which lasts.
objectives:
Set 2 goals for cell for the rest of 2008, apart from stated campus segment goals.
Responding to the campus segment goals, our cell will facilitate praying in tongues, prophesy and praying for healing during cell session and have a faith target of 40 salvations.
To reach out, our goal is to meet at least 1 prebelieving friend for a meal/other activity once every 2 weeks.
We keep them in prayer, initiate spiritual conversations/share testimonies and love them sincerely.
To reach in, our goal is to meet at least 1 cell mate for a meal/other activity once every 2 weeks.
We can pray for each other, chill out together, write each other encouragement cards and call up absentees from the previous cell meeting to let them know that they are not forgotten. =)
Let us achieve the goals consistently and then review them to make our efforts more effective, allowing the Holy Spirit to work through us =) Do feel free to comment.
love,

This camp is going to be chock full of power-packed teaching sessions as well as fun and exciting activities. Most importantly, we believe that God has something very important to impart to us at this camp, and we want everyone to be a part of it!
We are going to learn how our lives can be part of God's redemption plan just by following simple principles that Jesus has left us through His teaching and example.
So, we've decided to extend the closing date to 15 June, so you still have one last chance to sign up at this weekend's Youth Service or Sunday services. If you're still considering, don't think anymore, just hurry and sign up!
Details of THE EVERGLOW are:
When? - 16 to 20 June
Where? - NUS, Prince George's Park Residences, 27 Prince George Parl (off South Buona Vista Road)
How much? $80
How do I sign up?
1. Complete the registration form (comment on this post if you need one and we will email it to you).
2. Have a copy of my student ID if you are currently a student. If you do not have an ID, you will still pay $80.
3. Bring your registration form, student ID and camp fees to the admin counter.
What if I cannot make it to church on Saturday or Sunday?
If you are unable to make it down to church this weekend, submit your registration through your respective Cell Leader, Supervisor or Pastor.
