I thought it would be good to write a few words so early into the New Year! I don't know what your expectations and hopes are for the New Year. But I think it will be exciting. I have a feeling that we will be going to do some things that we have never done before. Something that will take us out of our comfort zone. Only God knows what it is and time will reveal if we have the 'right stuff'. Whatever it is that is coming, we can be assured that nothing is going to separate us from the love of God! Do I hear an 'Amen' for that? The safest place to be in this world is to abide in Him and remain in His love. Don't lose that love for Him - the first love!
Blessed New Year to all of you!
Ps. Ben
p.s. For the New Year I thought of a 'makeover' for this blog. Let me know what you think of this template. If you don't like it, we can always change!

Christmas Night Entertainers!
Some of our young people became part time entertainers for our recent Christmas Dinner event. Not only can they sing but they have some discovered some new musicians making their public debut! Lookout for this new found talent in the years to come. Is there going to be a GEFC Youth Band in the works? We will all just have to wait and see.
Joy to the World!

The 3D Days
Just like to wish all of you a BIG thank you for making the seminar a success - the planners, executioners & participants! Despite the torturing pace esp. on Day 2, you all survived. At least most of you made it to the final day. Altogether we had 19 participants who showed up on Day 1. I trust and hope you as participants have benefited in some way in your life journey.
Well, we hope to see some of you join us either on a more regular basis in our youth meetings or when we come out with a new event next year. I wonder what alphabet we will use next after 'G' and 'D'! Until then just enjoy some of the pictures below.
See you all soon

3D Day
The 3-D day has come. Tomorrow we will begin! We have confirmed 20 young people. I think it is going to be fun and interesting. Well, we will just have to find out, don't we? Let us know what you think after the event. By next week we should have some pix to see what we had done. So wait patiently.
For those who are not able to attend the Seminar, why not join us for "The Christmas Carol" event on Saturday night. It starts from 6.45 pm for buffet dinner and then by 7.45 pm we will have a time of songs, presentations and a Christmas message. We are going to have a group from PJEFC to do a skit and a soloist to sing a few songs.
See you all then!

On Target!
Dear Friends
Thank you all who have registered for the 3-D seminar. As of today we have met our target of 20 youths! There could be a few more trickling in after last Saturday's deadline. We still have space for the late comers. So if you are still undecided whether you want to come or not, you are given a grace period till the end of the week! But please don't wait till the last minute to register to help our planning of the resources and materials.
Make a decision now to come and you will not regret it! Your time and $$$ investment will be well spent.
Looking forward to seeing you all!

3G Revisited
Hello 3G Alumni & Friends!
It's more than 7 months since our gathering for the seminar. You have grown older by that number of months too! I trust that some of the lessons were helpful to you. Here are some pictures to refresh your memory.
If you do not know (cannot be, right?), we will be having another seminar soon called the 3-D. Those who are not able to make it, we miss you (sniff....sniff!).
But don't worry! If you still like to hang out with us and cannot attend the 3-D Seminar then there is still another chance to meet up. Come for the Christmas night event that we are calling "The Christmas Carol" on Dec 19 @ 6.45 pm. First have dinner with us and then join us for some fun together. We have invited some guest artistes from other churches to perform. At the moment we are finalising with them what they would like to do. So be patient and keep in touch in future blogs!
To those taking your SPM, just relax and be cool! Don't let any mistakes get you down. Get up and get ready to jump the next hurdle. Take it one at a time and you should be all right. All our prayers are also with you.
Peace!

3 more days to go...
2nd December 2009, indicating there is a few more days ( 3 more days!!) before the deadline of our 3D seminar!! Thus, gear up people if you want to participate in this amazing life-changing event!!
FEAR NOT!! We would not BITE like Jacob Black in Twilight Saga: New Moon when he transform into werewolf to hunt down the BAD GUYS. *muahaha*
As one of the youth member of GRACE EFC, and of course a friend and a sister in Christ, I would greatly encourage you to come and experience something different during this hols. To a non-christian, take this chance to know and understand the faith of your Christian friends with an open heart, while to the Christians, this would further encourage your faith in Christ and to develop your true potential in Kingdom of Christ!
Make a change!

Welcome!
Welcome to the Grace EFC Youth Group Blog!
A new day has dawned for the young people at Grace EFC as we make our presence felt in the cyberworld! Thanks Jason for helping us get our feet wet. I hope that this initial step will help create a wider community of friends that we can keep in touch and be a blessing to.
The Christmas season is here and the first activity we are going to host will be the 3D Seminar (see previous blog for details). There are some exciting activities lined up in this Seminar. The night gathering which we are calling "The Christmas Carol" (sounds familiar?) on Dec 19 is going to be fun too! All I can tell you now is that we invited a group from a local church as our guest to perform! More about it in another post.
So come and join us for the 3D Seminar. Register now! Closing date is this weekend. If you cannot make it then just come for "The Christmas Carol" night! Contact us in this blog if you need further details.
Hope to see some of you there and may God bless you!

Grace EFC,
17, Jalan USJ1/4B
Subang Jaya
Time:
9.00am to 5.00pm
About the Seminar:
All of us want to live a healthy life. So we exercise our bodies and eat healthy food. Is there more to it? Can we separate our physical from our moral and ethical thinking? Or separate our mental from the spiritual? Life is supposed to be lived 'holistically' ( body, soul/mind & spirit ) in its original intention and design from God.
Grace EFC with the assistance of Scripture Union ( SU ) is pleased to organise the 3-D Seminar. The seminar is a special teaching program with the aim to provide a biblical perspective and understanding to help the participant seek from a more intergrative lifestytle. The seminar will use lectures, discussions, intergrative games, personality test and other fun activities to:
- Discover that you are wonderfully made.
- Develop your true potential and affirming it.
- Dedicate your life as a gift to God in living life responsibly.
Who Can Attend?
For youths above 12 years old.
Facilitator: Ms. Runa Wan, a Youth worker of 5 years with SU .
Cost:
Only RM25.00 per person ( inclusive of food, drinks and materials)
On the last day of the seminar, participants are invited along with their parents to a special Christmas party at no extra cost!
Closing Date: 5th Dec 2009
For Registration or More Information:
Please register early, as there are limited seats available.
For more information you can contact Ms.Lee at 016-3226150 or email to gefcsj@yahoo.com .
See you there,
God Bless you!
