3 Service Attachment
For 2 months from 11 July to the
weekend of 20 September, various
Confirmation 3 teens were attached
to 7 youth ministries: Youth
Mentors, Genesis Ministry, Youth
Music Ministry, Youth Arise Ministry,
Revelation Generation, MOE (Ministry
of Expression) and the Chinese Legion
of Mary. It was a time
where the teens were able to learn
things outside of Catechism and
also a time to get to know other
youths in the Parish.
We really appreciate everything
they have done and their very presence
in our youth ministries. Thank you
all for the wonderful 2 months together!
We look forward to see you all again!

A Photo Exhibition
By Genesis on "God's Creation"
"Thank you for
taking part in the genesis photo exhibition
and making it a success. It meant
a lot to me because I'd never really given
much thought to the phrase "a picture
speaks a thousand words". It was
really beautiful because this exhibition
was a way to get people to appreciate
things that other people feel are important
to them. Thank you Genesis for organising
the event too!"
~ Gericho Ferrer
The photo exhibition was opened to parishioners
of all ages to bring up an awareness and
appreciation of God's creation around
us. Organised by Genesis
Ministry and their Con 3 Attachees!

Youth Ministry Prayer meet! We
have changed our prayer meet time to 2:00pm
- 3:00pm on the last saturday of the month
so that more of you can come join us!
At this prayer meet, we discussed about
the question of what our shepherd
has done for us during our dark times,
and also what are the signs that
we are walking in the Will of the Lord?
As in Romans 12:1, it is when we do not
conform to the ways of the world but to
be renewed by the transformation of our
minds, and when we see the fruit of the
spirit in our lives, that we know we are
walking according to God's will!

Thank You Message from David!! Brief
summary:
We painted the homes of 6 elderly residents.
The amount of painting to be done varied
from home to home. We had to move furniture,
clean walls, windows and floors. Of course,
at the end of it all, we also had to wash
the brushes and trays! Check out the pictures on facebook

FEBRUARY 2009 "An
Encounter with God"
Presenting our FIRST Youth Prayer Meeting
of the year!
JOIN US on...
21 FEBRUARY 2009, 7:30pm - 8:45pm WHERE? OLPS, Level 2 classroom
(St. Peter & Paul)
Our focus for the year in our 2009 youth
prayer meets will be on "Conversion"
in the light of St. Paul's life, as this
is also the year of ST. PAUL! So for this
month of February, we begin by learning
more about St. Paul himself, and his conversion
in Acts 22:6-16.
This will be our very first youth prayer
meeting this year. Led by our faithful brothers
in Christ, Neil & David, do join us
for a short time of reflection, prayer and
genuine time for christian community and
spiritual growth!

FEB 2009
The
first ever OLPS Youth Commissioning
Mass was held on 8 February 2009
at the 12:15pm Mass, celebrated by Fr.
Greg. We were decked in white, and seated
in the front pews of the church. During
the commissioning prayer we were asked
to step out around the altar in view of
the whole church. This was done as we
said prayers and Fr. gave his blessings
to the whole group.
It was a meaningful event, which brought
about greater awareness in our parish
that "WE ARE HERE"
not elsewhere. We are
the youths of the parish! We also acknowledged
the hard work of our current youths in
ministry for all they've been doing so
far over the last year and for this year
to come, through certificates distributed
to regular youth members in our ministries.
The event proceeded with a lovely lunch
at the canteen and an educational talk
on "Youth Ministry" by Bro.
Jovita Ho. We thank God that everything
went smoothly!
