Canvas: What is CUBS? CUBS: CUBS is the ministry of Come Alive Youth Group that is responsible for organizing and conducting social events keeping Christ as the focal point.
STRAIGHT FROM THE “CUBS” MOUTH
CUBS is one of the right ministries by which one can come closer to God by organizing social events for members non members of CAYG. Wherein everyone can interact with each other in a different way, not like a prayer gathering but social gathering that keeps the spirit of come alive youth group alive and the motive behind the gathering is one union with Christ and thanking Him for all the good times that He has blessed us with in our life that is filled with sorrow n pain. - A silver lining on a dark cloud.- Anthony Fernandes, Ministry Member
After being betrayed by my best friend I was very depressed and lonely. Got a phone call from Aquin telling me about a CUBS event - AGAPE. Didn't really want to do anything but I knew that a picnic albeit with strangers, would take my mind off my current situation. So I went, and it was like being reunited with old friends who were just waiting for me to return. Jesus tickled me, making be smile the whole day through and for days after that too! The love was over whelming and I just knew that Jesus had invited me there, to heal my wounds, to tell me I was still precious, to make me feel loved. When I got to know about CUBS I immediately knew that I had to be a part of it, because without it I would have drifted very far away from Jesus and I wanted to be a part of these special life changing events so I can share what I freely received the Lords love. Picnics, movies, dinners...simple stuff...but when Jesus becomes the host...it's spectacular! - Conchita, Ministry Member.
Simona & Natasha, Ministry Leaders on what's more to CUBS than just organizing social events? Simona: One of the many reasons why Come Alive attracted me was the fun of going out and meeting new people, joining CUBS was fantastic for me! What I realised more than anything in this ministry is that we can really just be ourselves. "BE A LIGHT TO OTHERS" this is a ministry where we can reach out to as many people as we can, not only within CAYG but also during our events.
Natasha: Somehow I've found that the life in Dubai leaves us with more spare time and avenues to lose ourselves. CUBS offers the best place for that much needed recreation all centered around Jesus. Each of us is entrusted with the call of "reaching out" to others. And if you're the fun-loving types, then CUBS is waiting to have you on board. Come, share the love of Christ. CUBS invites everybody to come and join them. The more the merrier!! Want to know more? Contact…. Natasha 050-2482411 & Simona 050-7254150 |

APRIL
"The more I am crucified, the more I rejoice.” - St. Bernadette
Here was a person who humbly accepted her suffering. A simple miller's daughter, who possessed no other wealth than the candour of her exquisite soul. In spite of being plagued by sickness at a very young age St. Bernadette never once complained about her health but went around spreading cheer and joy to others around her. She was ill-treated when she became a nun. Humiliations continued to be piled heavily upon her yet her response was that the more she was lowered, the more she grew in the heart of Jesus. She remained hidden from the public eye never seeking fame for herself and YET TODAY SHE IS KNOWN FAR AND WIDE. She is the perfect example of humility for us in this harsh modern world. God exalts none but the humble - Avertan Fernandes |

JUNE
"Dear God, please don't let me be too hungry or too thirsty. Help me to please my mother. And help me to please You." - Prayer of Saint Germaine Natasha Pereira
|
|||||||||
JULY
The life of St. benedict saw the story of a man who was on a constant search - search of a place and life where he could be nearer to God. He even sacrificed three precious years of his life in a cave, isolated from the world just so that he could spend his time alone in prayer and conversation with the Creator. He performed great miracles like raising people from the dead, driving out demons from possessed people and was blessed with amny gifts but despite all that, St.Benedict was a simple, humble, peace-loving, hardworking man who along with his fellow monks dedicated his life to the service of God and His children. Our current Pope Benedict XVI derived his name from him. - Charmaine Coutinho

Saints are radical disciples of Christ who overcame tremendous odds to be holy and Christ-like. As part of Canvas' effort to bring you the values of Come Alive, we present the Saint of the Month. May their heroic lives inspire us - so they dont remain statues in the church or pictures in holy cards - but living people to imitate and befriend. And if you thought rock stars and celebrities did the zaniest things in the world, click on the link on each saint's picture.
