We begin our first Life Group Sharing of 2010 on Friday, 22 January 2010,  8pm, at Rosemary’s house. For directions, contact Rosemary or Evelyn. To get there, car-pool is strongly encouraged.

Some events to look forward to for the year…

1. “How To Start Your Own Business” – Saturday, 6 March 2010.
2. Pulse Camp! – 24th to 25th April 2010. Venue to be confirmed.

Further details will follow closer to the dates. Mark them in your calendar and stay tuned!

If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born by His purpose and for His purpose. – Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life.

See you this Friday, 16 October 2009 to discuss this further!

8pm, Shalom House. Be there!

Or maybe two more months blocks away but you get the idea.

First, an update. We had a good brainstorming session at The Christmas Countdown, and our Christmas Celebration is now set on 28th November 2009. Further details on venue and entrance tickets will follow in the coming days. Stay tuned and mark the date in your calendar!

In the meantime, we are excited to start 40 Days of Purpose reading Rick Warren’s book ‘The Purpose Driven Life’, beginning with Chapter 1 on Sunday, 11th October 2009. We will then meet as a Group on Friday, 16th October 2009, 8pm at Shalom House for more sharing. We are arranging for everyone to get a hold of their own copy, so do contact Evelyn or Tom & Didi if you have yet to get yours.

Looking forward to a time of learning and discovery with you in that 40 Days of reading.

Let’s find out what on earth are we here for together!

We do plan to have a great time of fun, food and fellowship for Christmas this year though. And for that we need some good creative juices going.

Join us for a time of throwing in your good ideas at Evelyn’s place, Saturday, 26 September 2009, 8pm. Light refreshments will be served.

Some ideas already in the pipeline are themed-costumes and a dance floor…

See you at the Countdown!

May you have enough happiness to keep you sweet. Enough trials to keep you strong. Enough hope to keep you happy. Enough friends to give you comfort. Enough determination to make, each day a better day, then yesterday. – From ‘The Wedding Planner’, the movie.

So.. are you wondering what’s in store for us this month? Well, Easter’s coming up and we figured it’s a wonderful opportunity to reach out to our community and share God’s love, so we’ve decided to pay a visit to the old folks at the Sri Pritchard Old Folks Home in Kinarut on Sunday, the 19th of April, 2:30 PM. Unlike our previous outings, this time we’re delighted to have our “juniors” in Powerhouse join us. Activities planned so far include a dance and musical presentation and handing out gifts to the old folks. If you have any other suggestions that would help put a smile on their faces, do feel free to share them with us.

If you’re interested in joining this outing, please give your names to either Evelyn (016-8031230) / Elsa (012-8685742).

For more info contact Evelyn – 0168031230, or Elsa – 0128685742.

Pulse will close for the rest of 2008. (We may call each other up for drinks or bowling in the meantime…) We have planned for a Thanksgiving Dinner sometime in December, but that is yet to be confirmed. We’ll keep you posted.

In the meantime, have a Blessed Christmas Everyone!

A Christmas Prayer

Jesus, the Light of the
World, as we celebrate your birth . . . . may we begin to see the world in the light of the understanding you give us.  As you chose the lowly, the outcasts, and the poor to receive the greatest news the world had ever known, so may we worship you in meekness of heart.  May we also remember our brothers and sisters less fortunate than ourselves in this season of giving.  Amen.
