Week 6: Can We Show that Christianity is True?

Dearest brothers and sisters,


1. "Can We Show that Christianity is True?" Talk by Dr. Lee Wang Yen
2. JF Formal

-------------------------
1. "Can We Show that Christianity is True?" Talk by Dr. Lee Wang Yen


Christians believe that there is a God and Jesus is God incarnate who resurrected from the dead to save us from our sins. Do we have good reasons to think that these beliefs are true? Or should we accept them as merely articles of faith? Many Christians believe that the only way to maintain their religious faith in a scientific age is to hold radically different attitudes towards the truth-claims of religion and those of science – the latter can be accepted as (probably or approximately) true rationally whereas the former can only be accepted by a leap of faith. Are they right?


Dr Wang-Yen Lee is a PhD student in philosophy of science at the Department of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge, and will be explore this exciting subject with us this Wednesday. The talk will be conducted in English. Feel free to invite any of your friends to come along!

Week 5: Talk on BGR

Dearest brothers and sisters,


1. Talk on BGR

-------------------------
1. Talk on BGR

1 Cor 13:4-7 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.


Happy Chinese New Year! So how did you spend your Chinese New Year and your Valentine's Day last week? For many of us, we celebrated it together in the love of our fellow brothers and sisters - and yet, still, you feel there is something missing in your life? Or perhaps there should be a bit more to what you now already have?

For those who haven't realised by now, every year Joshua Fellowship holds a "talk" on BGR - that is, boy-girl relationships. And trust me, it's not boring, it's not formal, but truly inspiring! Whether you're single or in a relationship, Pastor Leo will tell you all you need to know about relationships and answer all your questions!

Feel free to submit any questions to Leo either in person on Wednesday, or by email to Mimi (mkw104@student.anglia.ac.uk)or Leo (khl36@cam.ac.uk).
(p.s. yes, you can ask for your friends! =P)


*** DINNER ***
Hilda's group will be cooking dinner this week. Anyone who can come to help with cooking and/or washing up, please let Hilda (htht2@cam.ac.uk) know and arrive at Henry Martyn Hall at 5:15pm.

PLEASE email jfdinner@yahoo.co.uk if
- you are NOT on the Lent term default list but would like to have dinner
- you are on the default list but cannot make dinner this week
- you are going to be late for dinner and wish to have dinner reserved for you
- you wish to add your name to the default list


Please kindly do the above so that we can prepare enough food for everybody.
Dinner starts 6:30pm, and those who did NOT email and arrive later than 6:45pm may NOT be guaranteed dinner.



-------------------------
We will be collecting an offering this week, please prepare your hearts accordingly.

2. SEEC 2007 - Applications and Offering

2 Cor 8:14-15 "At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. Then there will be equality, 15as it is written: "He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little." "

This week again we will be receiving applications centrally for SEEC 2007. For those who weren't here last week, SEEC is the South England Easter Conference, a big retreat camp of 5 days 4 nights gathering fellow Brothers and Sisters from various University Fellowships in South England during the Easter Weekend. For more details please visit http://www.seec2007.org .

As mentioned last week, the camp fee in total inclusive of transport both ways is 100GBP per person. However, following the Apostle Paul's principle as stated in the above bible passage in 2 Cor 8:14-15, we operate on a princple of each affording a certain amount, with the rest paid on the basis of offering. Therefore we will be collecting an offering for SEEC this week, appealing to brothers and sisters both intending or not intending to attend SEEC. Also, for those who are attending please hand in your application form and camp fee of 50GBP (with any extra as a form of offering) to Uncle Anthony.

3. About a cookbook - a message from Francisco


Dear my Joshua fellows,

I lost my cookbook and I last saw it on Wednesday so I
believe I might have left it in Harry Martin Hall in Joshua
last Wednesday (31/1).

As I am really stuck with my work right now, I won't be able
to come to Joshua this Wednesday to look for it. If you see
a thin colourful cookbook with both Chinese and English
descriptions, and it is also tailored for 'philipine's cooks'(?) [original message lost] please keep it and return it to me at the next instance.

Many thanks.

Francisco

4. BGR talk on 21/2


Pastor Leo will be giving a talk on BGR (boy-girl relationships) on the Wednesday after next (21/2), and is now keen to collect any questions brothers and sisters may have. Do think of anything you wish to know and feel free to submit any questions to Leo either in person on Wednesday, or by email to Mimi (mkw104@student.anglia.ac.uk)or Leo (khl36@cam.ac.uk). Think now~! ;)
