And the war begins..

Are you ready?!

It's the nerve-wracking time of the year again.. Just wanna encourage national exam-takers to press on for the last lap!

'O's will start from tomorrow (!!!), 26th Oct, all the way to 13th November.

'A' level will commence on the 10th November and ends on 30th November.

Let us all remember them and pray for those in need of God's wisdom and strength to be upon them. Pray that they are able to have a peaceful mind and a calm heart, and fully utilise the time left to revise.

'Is anyone of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sings songs of praise.'
-James 5: 13-

'Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.'
-1 Peter 5: 7-
Cheers!

Holy Matrimony

Praise God for His wonderful matchmaking! In His Holy presence, Bro Yaosheng and Sis Bihui tied the knot on 10 October and are now husband and wife. Held in Chen Li Church on a saturday afternoon, the couple exchanged their vows, and had a great wedding reception! Bro Yaosheng wrote a song and sang it specially for his beloved wife, and Sis Bihui returned the love by singing in her melodious voice that left everyone impressed and inspired.

They have set the standard for many more weddings to come, and the next one we'll be looking forward to is Sis Xiaoying's wedding, which will be held in November!

Held on the 3rd of October (definitely not Oktober Fest), Chen Li celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival in the church premises. Commonly known to some as Moon Cake Festival or Lantern Festival, the festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the chinese calenders. Our brothers and sisters were treated to a delightful variety of delicacies, from korean styled pork and beef to amazing kuehs and desserts.

A meaningful video introduced to me. You Love Me Anyway by Sidewalk Prophets.



Lyrics

The question was raised
As my conscience fell
A silly little lie
It didn't mean much
But it lingers still
In the corners of my mind

Still You call me to walk
On the edge of this world
To spread my dreams and fly
But the future's so far
My heart is so frail
I think I'd rather stay inside

CHORUS
But You love me anyway
It's like nothing in life that I've ever known
Yes You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me

It took more than my strength
To simply be still
To seek but never find
All the reasons we change
The reasons I doubt
Why do loved ones have to die

But You love me anyway
It's like nothing in life that I've ever known
Yes You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me

I am the thorn in Your crown
But You love me anyway
I am the sweat from Your brow
But You love me anyway
I am the nail in Your wrist
But You love me anyway
I am Judas' kiss
But You love me anyway

See now I am the man
Who yelled out from the crowd
For your blood to be spilled
On this earth shaking ground
Yes and I turned away with a smile on my face
With this sin in my heart
Tried to bury Your grace
And then alone in the night
I still called out for You
So ashamed of my life
My life
My life

But You loved me anyway
Oh God how You loved me

But You love me anyway
It's like nothing in life that I've ever known
Yes You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me

You love me
Yes You love me (x3)
How you love me (x3)
