[Weekly Newsletter] Joan of Arcadia: Learning to channel creative energy for good

This Week's Agenda: Joan of Arcadia (Learning to channel creative energy for good)

Hi everyone! Yet another semester is coming to an end, and the closer it is to ending, the sadder I am becoming :) Excluding this week there would only be two more weeks left for me here with all of you.

Never mind, the au revoirs will come later.

Now let's concentrate on what I can still do together with you.

Last week, Josephine from Lifeline gave us (or me, rather) a surprise visit, and it was pleasant to have her :)

We did the Examination of Conscience as part of Worship, and Jo kindly affirmed us on that. Thanks Jo :)

This week, we'd be watching another series from Joan of Arcadia with the running theme of 'Learning to channel creative energy for good'. Since we all like to think ourselves as 'creative' people, what do we do with our brimming talent? :)

Noticing that someone/a group needs the energy is the first step.

If you find this interesting, have questions in relation to this topic, or simply to learn/share more about your faith with others, do drop by:

6) 2008 World Youth Day Registration/Briefing

We are gearing up for the biggest Catholic youth event next year, and we want to invite YOU to be a part of this historic milestone. If traveling and meeting people of other cultures (including the Pope) excites you, if faith-stretching experiences get your adrenalin pumping, if you get a kick out of attending Mass with the rest of the Catholic (ie universal) Church – then sign up for World Youth Day 2008. Forms are available from the SFX church racks or your CG leaders. To avoid disappointment, get your forms in to the SFX Parish Office or your CG leaders by 11th November 2007, and keep the evening of Tue, 13th November (8pm) free for a Very Important Briefing at the GYM.
