WELCOME THE NEW YEAR... WELCOME BACK TO YDM

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2010 has gone by and we now usher in 2011. It will be an exciting year with many new improvements and changes to YDM. I want to welcome back all of you regular YDMers and also those are new to us. I pray that this year would be a fantastic adventure for everyone in Christ Jesus.

YDM commence this Saturday, 4-6pm at the Parish Hall. See you all on Saturday! "ARE YOU READY?!!"

Lastly, "...since we also have such a large cloud of witness surrounding us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily ensnares us, and run with endurance the race that lies before us, keeping our eyes on Jesus, the source and perfecter of our faith..." (Hebrews 12:1-2, Holman CSB)

YDM CELEBRATES CHRISTMAS!

Hello hello!


Christmas is about 10 days away (from when this is posted), and because this Saturday (18th December) is the last YDM for the year 2010, YDM would be celebrating Christmas by having a little makan makan. It's a bring and share, so as the practice suggests, please do bring and share your cooking/baking (or your parents' signature dishes) with the rest of YDM. Yet although it's a bring and share, please also contribute $2 (to Sherly), for the drinks and for the BBQ that we would be having.


And Christmas, being the season of giving, we would have a gift exchange as well. Bring along a gift worth a maximum of $5 (Meaning, you must bring a gift that costs you $5 or less), so that you would be able to exchange your gift with someone else.


It would be from 3-6pm at the Parish Hall.


Do invite your friends! See you there!


Red and green just for the Christmas season!

13 November 2010

YDM would be opening three booths: PS2 games, water splash & tchoukball.
Come and join us!
50% of the proceeds go to SMARTER. The other 50% goes to LaVida.

KidsGames Postponed!

We were supposed to be in JPS at 1pm today (Friday, 12th November 2010). HOWEVER! The KidsGames we only had 7 days to prepare for has been POSTPONED!

I'm not sure when, and there is talk that the venue might change. Meaning, we may be doing it in another school.

Nevertheless, keep your dates free so that you would be able to help out when we've confirmed when KidsGames has been postponed to. =)

YDM would resume as normal tomorrow (13th November 2010). See you!

4 November 2010

This Just In!

Hello everyone! It's November and in less than two months, we'll be entering the new year. Nevertheless, we've still got those two months and so let's make the most out of it.

YDM will NOT be on break this year, and would still continue through December 2010!
This gives you the opportunity to invite your friends during the holidays, when you're all free from exams, etc. Remember that one of the reasons YDM exists is to reach (out) to other youths. So yes, invite your friends to YDM!

Tired of being locked up in your room studying? Feeling disappointed because your tummy's starting to bulge? Then join us and the rest of the church at the Walk For Health this Sunday, 7th November 2010 at Tasek. Registration fee is $1, but if you'd like a shirt, you'll have to pay $12 and you'll have to wait a while for the shirts. Meet at church at 3pm.

KidsGames would be held in Jigsaw Primary School, Berakas on 12 and 13 November 2010; 2-5pm on both days. Please do come and help out if you can! A training session would be held TOMORROW, 5th November 2010, in the Parish Hall from 2-4pm.

To those concerned, you are REQUIRED to attend the confirmation class & rehearsal on Saturday, 13th November 2010, 6-8pm. Following that, confirmation would be held at the 7:45am English Service (In other terms, 1st service) on the 21st of November.

The annual Nativity Play would be held on Monday, 22nd November, 7-10pm at St. Andrew's School. Come and join us as we gear into the Christmas season.

Parents Appreciation & Awards Night is at iLotus this year, on Friday, 26th November from 7-10pm. Bring your parents along, because what is a parents appreciation night if there are no parents to appreciate? ;) Tickets would be sold soon; it's free for your parents, but you've got to pay $15 for your own ticket. Basically, you'll be paying for your parents' and your own dinner. So yes, use some of the allowance you get (If you do get allowances) and buy your parents dinner for once. =D To those interested to perform something for your parents, please contact Sheiela or Blessy via facebook, email or SMS. Just so you know, there won't be any YDM on Saturday, 27th November. =)

YDM would also be carolling this year together with KOOL; more details would be coming soon.

Music classes
Apart from that, please do be advised that guitar classes have ended for the year. Bass, drum and piano classes would soon be closing for the year. HOWEVER, sign ups are open for 2011. Those who would like to continue can do so as well; or you may want to learn and try out a new instrument. If you'd like to, please do sign up with the following:
Guitar class: Michelle, Blessy
Bass class: Sheng, Daniel
Drum class: Shasha
Piano class: Caroline

Whoa, that's a whole load of announcements. Nevertheless, I hope you'd pinned them down in your calendar. =)

God bless and we'll see y'all this Saturday! Come expecting, come ready!

Let Go, Let God



God forgave us our sins though we did not deserve. He died on the cross, the ultimate sacrifice, for all our transgressions; and He has each of us in mind.

God forgave (and still does forgive) us.

Who have we to forgive?

Forgive our sins, as we forgive our debtors...
