Food for Thought...

Since the blog is at the verge of dying soon (weird people even started to post weird comments at the cbox...) I might as well post some thought provoking posts... This is a paragraph send to me by Pastor Mike, and I thought it's a good one to share with you guys, though I don't know how many people are still visiting this site. I think it actually made me reflect about my own life and how sometimes I brush off people whom I regarded as 'not worth it'... And it made me thought hard.

Not Breaking the Bruised Reeds

Some of us tend to do away with things that are slightly damaged. Instead of repairing them we say: "Well, I don't have time to fix it, I might as well throw it in the garbage can and buy a new one." Often we also treat people this way. We say: "Well, he has a problem with drinking; well, she is quite depressed; well, they have mismanaged their business...we'd better not take the risk of working with them." When we dismiss people out of hand because of their apparent woundedness, we stunt their lives by ignoring their gifts, which are often buried in their wounds.

We all are bruised reeds, whether our bruises are visible or not. The compassionate life is the life in which we believe that strength is hidden in weakness and that true community is a fellowship of the weak.

Discipleship Conference (20th to 22nd Feb)

I'm sure those of you who're around in KL and attended celebration these few weeks who have heard about this conference. Pastor Mike and allthe leaders are really pushing for all cg members to sign up for this.

There will be no cg on the 20th (friday night) and the during the conference there will some sort of follow up activity for the coming journalling sermon from Senior Pastor Daniel (He will share about journalling this weekend). Hence it's a very important conference to attend.

Please please sign up for this conference. The speaker is Rev Edmund Chan from Covenant Evangelical Free Church in Singapore. He will be sharing alot with us regarding scriptures, understanding the big picture behind the scriptures and also importance of theology. It is very useful for us so we can learn to read the Bible better. It's only RM20 to sign up (before 15th Feb), when conferences like this tend to be priced at hundreds. WHERE ELSE CAN YOU GET A DEAL LIKE THIS??!!!

Sign up by this week k... Or else expect me to chase behind you to sign up ;)

Ps : Oh yeah, one more thing... Those of you who haven't answer me about the medical camp, please get back to me asap. I need to hand in the list of volunteers' names soon.

Volunteers for Medical Camp?

Hi peeps. There will be a medical camp (not camping type of camp, but an event organised to provide free medical service to the poor residents... I also dunno why called a camp...) organised by Rotary Club and DUMC's Jumble Station and PJS2 cg.

Details :

Date - 1st March 2009 (Sunday)

Time - 9am to 4pm

Venue - Angsana Flats, Subang Mewah, USJ 1.

They need volunteers from all medical professions (doctors, pharmacists, nurses, dentist etc). I know we're not qualified but we can do alot of basic things like taking BP, blood glucose, oral examinations and so on. Even if we're not doing all those we can do other admin/logistic work. I'm now at the process of communicating with someone from the PJS2 cg. I will put up more info once I know better.

I'm signing up as volunteer. I encourage all of you to take the sunday time off to help out. It's such a good opportunity for us to learn and also help people at the same time. No one would be a better volunteer than us who are in healthcare profession.

Please please let me know if you want to volunteer. I don't know the dateline but try to decide soon.
