W279 consists of an ordinary yet unique bunch of people who are learning to be simple, true worshippers. We are a diverse mix of people... as young as 10, till as YOUNG as 25 (and above). We are all about Simplicity as we believe that simplicity is life, at best.

The purpose of this blog is to serve as a virtual place where the members of W279 can connect efficiently with one another, and even, inspire the world out there. Join us, you will love us. WE ARE FAMILY.

W279 HIGHLIGHTS: Weekend Service with Rev. Dr. Cesar Castellanos & Rev. Tan Ye Peng!

Dear ALL:

Lets get ready for service this weekend because Dr. Cesar Castellanos will be coming to preach!

Dr. Cesar Castellanos is the pastor of one of the biggest churches with over 150 thousand members just in Bogota, Columbia. Heard of the G12 Vision? He's the key person who started it and is influencing the WHOLE world!

As Dr. Cesar will ONLY be preaching at SERVICE ONE (Sat 3.30pm), there will be 'gatecrashers' from other services! So lets meet earlier than usual and be prepared for it!

Last but not least, our VERY OWN favourite PST. TAN will be preaching at the remaining services! If you are a lover of his sermons (like me), do make time to go for multiple service (on Sunday)!


It's gonna be an exciting week ahead!

P.S. To the STUDENTS, ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAYS THIS WEEK! :)


counting down!

7 hours more to Youth Meeting ...
I'm sure all 20 over of you are excited!
Let's believe for a move of God!

COUNTING DOWN TO D YOUTH DAY WITH D MAN, PASTOR KONG!!!!

Counting Down ...

Hi Family!

It's exactly a week from our Youth Meeting with Pastor Kong!

This weekend, Pastor Kong is not preaching at church (we have Margaret Court with us!) ... But Pastor is coming back on Monday (Mar 15) from a mission trip, JUST FOR this meeting, and then he flies off again the next day.

If we were you, we will be smart and not miss out on this ...

Especially cause everyone of us qualifies to attend (25 years or under!).

Pastor will not only share a heart-stirring word, it is gonna change your life. He may even lay hands to pray, who knows? So let's be very ready, very hungry, very expectant ...

For a mighty move of God!

We are excited,
Kel & Cyn

remember ...

Remember always ...
What doesn't break us will make us stronger.

Let's never allow anything to break us. But let's grow stronger together, and as a CG!

SPECIALLY FROM YOUR IMPERFECT LEADERS TO YOU.

Dear Members, Ex-members, Friends and Foes,

I have been very disturbed (of late) by what some of the people are commenting (actually, gossiping, backstabbing & murmuring!) ... They have such flawed ideas of a "perfect cell group" (they think we already are in a perfect heaven, perhaps?), and about "our CG" in particular. Now, it has spurred me on to write this post. Time for me to clarify and to speak my mind!

-------------------------------
WHAT IS A CELL GROUP?

Acts 2:46 "So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart."

Heb. 10:35 "Let us not give up the habit of meeting together, as some are doing, instead let us encourage one another all the more since you see the day of the LORD is coming near."

SO, what is a CG?

In its simplest form, it is a group made up of different people with diverse backgrounds, personalities, upbringing, character traits, and habits (the list goes on ...). The CG allows us to bond and form friendships in a setting that's smaller and more comfortable than a church-service context (especially in a megachurch like ours!). The Cell Group is a platform for ongoing discipleship (for us to learn to better our lives and become more and more like Christ), for fellowship (friendship, companionship, encouragement, support, fun, tough times, and the list goes on ...). IT gives us a sense of belonging. And we create that sense of belonging. Most importantly, like in our family, a CG is made of imperfect people who are learning (and struggling) to become better and to become more Christlike.

----------------------------------
WHAT A CELL GROUP IS NOT ...

It is not your main source. Outside of your CG, you still must maintain your family life, social life, education/work life. As much as CG seeks to be your source of support, it is NOT MEANT TO BE (AND NEVER WILL BE) like "GOD"---perfect, always your source of dependence, always unfailing. Dr. Ed Cole said "Balance is the key to life." Thus, as much as CG is meant to be a blessing and joy, it will never fulfill you completely. Thus, do not be disillusioned, and set yourself up for disappointment.

As mentioned above, CG is made up of imperfect people, starting with the CGLs (Kel & Cyn) to the CGCS, down to the newest and youngest member. CG is a place we allow each other to fail and fall, learn and grow. We don't condemn each other nor do we despise each other ...

Prov. 27:17 "People learn from one another. Just as iron sharpens iron."

The CG is never meant to be a vending machine. You put in a coin (you join the CG) and expect to get a can of drink (fulfill your "thirst" and desire). It is not a country club (you join as an exclusive member), and expect exclusive treatment and rights. Rather, a CG is a family, where everyone must play a part to make that family work. It starts with the parents (who provide, nurture, and seek to do what the best can) ... and goes down to the youngest child (who seeks to be easy, and to live in harmony and bond with his siblings).

--------------------------
DO NOTE ...

You can have the most fun-loving CG, yet not enjoy and feel that it doesn't suit you.

You can have a CG that's not so outgoing, always quiet, and you feel it is too boring.

There's no one-size-fits-all. You learn to grow and "fit" into it.

It is your attitude towards CG ... it is your attitude towards life ... it is your attitude about everything ... that makes CG wonderful to you.

WITH REGARDS TO HELPERS, CGCS, BIRTHDAY COORDINATORS & OTHER MEMBERS WHO SERVE IN CG ...

These are your fellow brothers and sisters (friends) who are in a sense "volunteers". They don't get paid to do their job. They do it out of love for you. ON your Birthdays (for instance), they coordinate, they take precious time off to buy the present, they spend hours doing your card ... whether you like it or not. They bothered. Learn to appreciate each other. And stop putting each other down. Most of all, don't form your own opinions based on others' or your own past experiences.

---------------------------
CONCLUSION ...

Whichever CG you are in (say if you are unhappy with this CG and want to transfer), I guarantee that even in that new environment, you will never find one that fits you totally. Like in a relationship, it's never about finding the right partner, but being the right partner. You got to stop finding a perfect CG, but be that perfect CG member. And if you've decided that this church is where your future lies, then CG is part of the process. So why don't you make this process an enjoyable and LASTING one by first, being right at heart, and being the CG member everyone will be blessed by?

-------------------------
LAST VERSE FOR THIS POST ...

"He who wants friends must first be friendly himself." Whatever you sow, that you will also reap. Sow discord, reap discord. Sow disunity, reap disunity. Sow a smile, reap a smile. Sow encouragement, reap encouragement. Sow friendship, reap friendship.

And let me ask you: Didn't you once feel very happy and felt like CG was everything to you? What has changed from then? Could it be ... You?

-----------------------------------------
Your MOST IMPERFECT LEADERS,
Kelvin & Cynthia

Lesson Time!

Lesson #1: If you have an issue in your own life, deal with it first.

Many times, it's so easy for us to become victims of our own circumstances. And then we develop a victim's mentality ("So-and-so caused me to be like that. Cell Group is not good enough for me ..." And the likes). Who likes to be a victim? When you are like that, you feel miserable. Isn't it true?

Guys, let's always do a heart check. If there is something wrong in our hearts, deal with it first. START THERE.

Have you realised, in every situation that you are in, every Cell Group you go to ... if you always have a problem with it .... Well, the COMMON DENOMINATOR is you? Maybe it's ourselves that we need to sort out first.

No one is responsible for YOUR HAPPINESS. You are responsible for your own happiness.

Self-Evaluation Time:

1) Have you found yourself often feeling bitter about people & things?
2) Have you found yourself easily trying to sow discord?
3) Are all your friends around you (whom you consider friends) having same thoughts as you?

Well if your answer is "YES" to all the above, then you know what, time to do a self-check and realise that you do have an issue.

"Guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it springs the issues of life."

Guys, where you are a year from now will largely be due to:

1) Thoughts you allow in your mind every day;
2) Friends you have in your life.

So ... what kind of thoughts are you having? AND: Who are you mixing with?

Let's grow together!

session with our senior pastor!

Dear members,

If you're 25 years old or under ... This is for you!

On Mar 15, Pastor Kong is going to conduct a special youth meeting just for you! It's at 7:30 p.m. @Expo. As it's school day, I know it may be quite late. But I hope you will make every arrangement, get your parents' approval before hand, just for this! Because PK is having this one-time session JUST FOR YOU!

It will be a time you will encounter God personally, get a dream and vision, get passionate, and live life to the max thereafter!

Please start getting permission and making arrangement. Hope to see 100% of you attending this!

I can't wait ... Although I'm no longer a youth :(
