Happy Birthday all!

Even as we thank Jesus for the gift of you, we pray you know, you were created unique and with loving wonder!


With every issue, the Come Alive wants to keep you in touch with Jesus and His work. For those of you who cannot make it for the meetings, this column attempts to bring the meeting straight to where you are.

Saturdays @ Come Alive
Jan'09 - Mar'09

January

3rd- As we always do, the first meeting of the year began with our Blessed Lord visiting us in the Blessed Sacrament for an hour of Adoration. This would began Come Alive's new year.

10th - The joyful mystery of the Holy Rosary was prayed at the second meeting of the year. Seeing Jesus through the eyes of Mary.

17th - Gustave led praise and worship and Fr. Freddy, the Spiritual director of the group gave an input session on how to be Christ-centered.

 

24th - The praise and worship was led by Caroline and was followed by an evening of scripture sharing on the passage from the Gospel of John 15:1~10

31st - The group was treated to a movie of the life of Don Bosco. The first part of Don Bosco’s video was on how he made his mission to make sure he took off young boys from the streets and gave them a new life and gave them love. For He said “everyone needs love”, We then had a small sharing on what touched us the most about Don Bosco. We eagerly waited the next part the following Saturday.

February

7th - We watched the second part of the movie on the life and works of Don Bosco. What a life he led, humble yet courageous, out to do the Lord's will alone. The fruits can be seen today in the Salesian order. Clues for the saint of the month was given by Anthony Fernandes from the Hospitality Ministry.

14th - Gustave led praise and worship and reminded us of how important our relationship with the Lord is and how we must always have Him at the root of all our relationships. This was followed by an input session by Basil D'Cunha on relationships and their meaning in our lives.

21st - Allan M led P&W focusing on the love of the Father and Basil D’Cunha did a teaching on God’s love by using the parable of the prodigal son. He also brought into light about how the older son just misunderstood his father’s love for him versus the prodigal son. A very enlightening evening where we learnt that heaven is a gift from our Father and we do not have to earn it, but just prepare ourselves for it by praying and asking God for the graces to sustain ourselves.

28th - The core team led the Stations of the Cross with reflections on the life of St.Paul. Anthony also revealed the saint of the month after 3 weeks of clues. The saint was none other that St.Valentine.

March

7th - The evening began with the Praise and Worship led by Edwin in preparation for Lent. After the introduction of newcomers and Speak for Jesus, we had an input session by Tena on How to prepare ourselves for Lent. He spoke about the armour of God (The breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, the belt of truth, the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God). Sushma did the 'Saint of the Month' on behalf of the Adoration Ministry.

14th - Allan led praise and worship and Sr. Magdalen gave us a talk on self-knowledge and how the way we react and behave affects our relationship with others and the way we deal with them.

21st- We watched the Passion of Christ to prepare us for the Holy Week.

28th - We prayed the sorrowful mysteries of the rosary at the meeting led by the Rosary Ministry. Sushma revealed St. John of God as the saint of the month.

 
     
 
 
 
   
 
  Do you have a talent to tickle the Funny Bone?
 

If you have a Christian Culture / Faith / Scripture / related funny anecdote that can be illustrated as a cartoon like the one above (even multi-frame), or better still, if you can put that down on paper as a cartoon, write to editor@canvasletter.com or give-in your cartoons to Caroline or Tena at Come Alive. When you create, be as original as possible, remember the Spirit of the Group... no negative humour, no mocking the Faith!
