Gather round everyone! We have a new prayer request tagboard! This is where you'll write out all your prayer requests that you want us to pray for, which we will, probably during our PCG conference calls or something.
The normal tagboard will be used to ask questions about the youth meetings and tell us whether you're not coming for a particular youth meeting or not.
We'll also be having a new type of post which JoyAnn will be doing, which is a prayer requests posts that will list out all the prayer requests that week.
See you for the next youth meeting! ^^

Youth Meeting 23 Jun - Solving Mysteries?!~
We had an exciting and enriching youth meeting today. Hope all those present enjoyed it as much as I did. Here's what happened.
Meeting time was supposed to be 2.30pm, but we only managed to meet everyone past 3.30pm. A total of 8 people turned up. We started simply by asking if anyone wanted to dig in to the 'marvelous' spread of snacks (Chicken wings, nuggets, fishballs, Lay's, etc.) before us, but everyone declined.
So we started off with games hosted by Abner. Splitting into 2 teams of 4 and 3, we began the mystery solving. We went over a few word riddles, discussing with our teammates and deciding on answers of all varieties. For some, we struggled and tried to squeeze answers or hints out of Abner, with varying results. We finally managed to get all the answers.
3 really intriguing maths/probability questions followed. Each of the participants went on scibbling on their rough papers, working on the different possible scenarios and combinations.
After cracking our brains (almost literally) for more than an hour on riddles and puzzles of varying degrees of difficulties, we called an end to the games. The team with 4 people won, obviously. (33% more total brain power)
Snacks were offered again, with some takers this time. The next on the programme indicated was a special item. This resulted in a soulful rendition of the song 'Along the road' by Aaron, accompanied by Abner as the guitarist. (I hope it was nice because the person typing this post also happens to be the singer)
After that, Aunty Catherine gave us snapshots of her life story, beginning many years back (From her school days!!). It was a captivating story, getting everyone's attention, even those lacking a bit of sleep from the previous day.
The meeting drew to a close soon after, allowing a time of chit chat over the snacks that were still available. Announcements of the next to meetings were given to those present, including the scavenger hunt on the 14 July, which led to some excitement among the 'crowd'.
The meeting overall was an enjoyable one. Surpirisingly, some of the 'delicious' snacks was left over, a rare occurance for a youth meeting (Perhaps that was due to Jayne not being present, perhaps).
I'll like to thank God for the enjoyable time we had and the excellent atmosphere throughout the meeting. I'll also like to thank those who put in their time and effort into the planning and execution of the meeting. Finally, I would like to thank all who made an effort to come and make the meeting memorable and worthwhile to organise.
Hope to see you all soon. God bless.

Outdoor Youth Meeting - Rollerblading
On the 9th of June, 12 people set out to reach Kembagan MRT Station at 9.30 a.m. 10 people made it on time. Two people were late.
Once everyone was gathered, we set off towards East Coast Park via the long and tedious road. Everyone was in high spirits and after a long walk, we finally made it to East Coast Park.
Meeting Aaron at the nearby Burger King, we gathered for a breather, making the people count 13. Then we scooted to the rental shop and rented skates. Joyann's two friends decided to rent bikes instead and went off on their own. They later left during lunch.
Meanwhile, the rest of us went and had a fun time skating. Some had a few problems at first, but after we ended, everyone had at least managed to skate properly without falling too much.
By then, we were all superbly hungry and made for Burger King and had a yummy meal. Rumbling stomachs taken care of, we rested them by going to the arcade and had lots of fun playing the games there like dance revolution and daytona. Well, it wasn't really a rest for the stomachs, but anyway, after an hour or so there, we made way to play some ball games.
But, before that, Aaron briefed everyone about the upcoming youth meeting with will happen next week Saturday, 23 June.
First, we played around with the ball just for the fun of it. Then, after some deliberation, we decided to play captains ball, without the chairs, instead with moving captains. After a few long games, all of us were tired out and none of us could remember the score.
Sitting down to rest, we drank water and on the spur of the moment, decided to play 'Duck, Duck, Goose'. The funniest moment was when Joyann chased Jayne far away from the circle and we were all hooting with rancous laughter. In all, we had lots of fun with it.
Then, because some people needed to leave, we all decided to leave together. It was the long way back again, made even more tiring by all the exercise we had. But, still, everyone had an enjoyable time and I'm sure their baths were made even more relieving and enjoyable because of it.
We'd like to thank God that it didn't rain on that day and that nobody was injured badly as well.
