A Community United In Prayer and Fun

          Being in a community is one gift that we can always treasured in life. Absolutely no one could ever survive on earth just by his lonesome.

That's exactly why we are called as social individuals since we are expected to interact with others. 

         And true to its word, our Couples for Christ household community is one support group which is constantly essential for all members. We are called to prayer and to offer thanksgiving for everything that we unceasingly receive from Him Above. 

           Our household community through our ever active leaders, couple Bro Sam and Sis Bong, is always active in all its commitments as a group. And all members believe that it is the commitment of each one to devote time for prayer in the group and to interact with each other that binds all members together. 

         The summit of every gathering is the worship  and it is coupled with other worthwhile activities such as camping and fun run plus the regular household gathering. Through these enumerated activities, we further develop our closeness with one another as well as to strengthen our relationship with God. 

more fun......more actions.........

United as One Family

          Last August 19, 2017 Saturday, Couples For Christ (CFC) Melbourne,  Australia celebrated its 26th anniversary at Saint Brigid Catholic Church. The day's celebration was filled with laughters and screams as each one witnessed the various presentations from the CFC units: West, North, South etc. 

          The YFC group was very generous to share their talents through their various presentations like the band playing and dances.

There was also the much applauded lip sync battle of the different CFC Units. Our unit, CFC North Unit, was successful in sharing our God given talents through our Grease dance presentation- thanks to the support of our Unit Leaders, Bro. Walter and Bro. Gary as well as to our household leader- Bro. Sam and Sis Bong.

          Prayers and worship were also shared thus making this event centered on our belief that everything which happened within those 26 years of existence were guided by the graces of our Most Loving Father. Hence all these manifestations are but just right to be returned to Him through this get together of CFC brothers and sisters all throughout Melbourne. 

          Much gratefulness also to the elders of CFC Melbourne who unceasingly devoted their extra mile, time and resources so that CFC will continue to flourish and grow in this part of the globe.

The Need to Belong

          One of man's basic needs is the need to belong to a community whether it is a social group, an athletic group, a religious community, a spiritual group and others. No one could ever live and survive on this world just by his lonesome. In one way or the other, the need for companionship and belongingness is but a very essential one among man's hierarchy of needs.

          Thus, it is weighs a lot that at an early stage, a child is nurtured and guided on how to interact with his peers. So many resources like books, video materials, recordings are available everywhere to augment man's understanding about this task. However, in reality, this is easily said than done. There has to be a consistent accompaniment on the child so that his needs can be realised and attended. 

        No one can substitute physical presence with mere possessions like money, treasures, gadgets etc. Somehow this is the challenge that is being thrown to all adults whether one is a parent or non parent. In spite of all life's busy routines, there has to be  a place for proper guidance to sufficiently answer the needs of those young people in the community.  

Real Friends are Worth Keeping

          How many friends whom you can really consider as real ones? If we will think about it, some of those friends are not really "real". Real friends are those whom you can rely in whatever situation one is in. He is there in times of joy and times of tears. 

          Thus you should be thankful if you can find one. Having them in our life adds flavour to it and let us find ways to keep them inside our hearts. Life's journey could be very tricky at times and in those trying times,

we need people who can share their time and energy with us. This is always a gift --to have somebody who can listen to you no matter what it takes. 

          Journeying in life is exciting and easy when we have real friends around us. Hence we also allow others to enjoy and treasure our friendships. After all, we are made to help each other in all times.
