The New Batch of NETters – NET20 have already started its
formation on 6th Oct. 2011 under the NET School at the Church of St. Bernadette,
Mt. Tabor Room, Zion Road on every Thursday from 8.00pm to 9.30pm.
The following courses were conducted from Oct. 2011 to Dec. 2011:
1) The Call (by Sr. Theresa Seow, NET Spiritual Director)
2) The Response (by Fr. Paul Staes) and
3) The Relationship/Prayer/Recollection (by The Cenacle Sisters)
 After 2 months of courses, NET20 started its first outreach on 17th December 2011,Saturday from 2.00pm till 5.00pm. The purpose of the outreach was to visit thepoor and needy elderly folks residing at North Bridge Road. There were about
33 people comprising of NETters and members from the Church of Sts. Peter & Paul, St. Vincent de Paul Ministry to do this outreach. Prior to the aforesaid visit, preparations were done like practicing the ‘carols’ in class on 15th Dec. Thurs, making the “Greeting Cards” for the elderly folks which were done by Sidney Kwok/NET20. etc. |
Some gems from three great lay persons on evangelization.
Mr Terry Barber has over 30 years of evangelization experience said: “If we don’t evangelize, we will fossilize. We must remember to share our faith or we will lose it.”
He is convinced that once you let God fill you with FIRE and DESIRE, you will be “evangelizing without even trying.”
“There are two sides to the Church’s entire mission: evangelization and the establishment of the Church to lead people to Christ .” (more…)
The current batch of NET 20 had three sessions conducted by the Cenacle sisters in Dec. 2011 on the following topics: 1) Prayer 2) Relationship with God 3) Day of Recollection The Day of Recollection with the Cenacle sisters was held at The Choice Retreat House at 47 Jurong West St. 42 on 11th Dec. 2011, Sunday. We are reminded again that prayer is not just one-way communication with God as we need to listen attentively to His Words from our hearts. At all times, we should try to set up a private space for God physically (Ideally during our prayer time, have a small cross, bible and a lit candle in your room.) and spiritually. The day of recollection allows to reflect who is Christ in our life.
VATICAN CITY (CNS) — The Vatican and other Christian representatives have
issued a series of recommendations for evangelization in multifaith
societies, rejecting aggressive or coercive methods but defending the right
to profess, propagate or change one’s religion.
It was indeed a very memorable, wonderful and loving experience for me to run the N20 EE at the Church of the Blessed Sacrament last week end, 23rd and 24th July 2011. It reminded me of the beautiful story “The Footprints” whereby our loving and gracious Lord was carrying me very closely in his arms throughout my ups and downs….

Just want to say a big THANK YOU for all your support, help & presence over the weekend’s Enrollment Exercise for NET20 Open House, especially for those who have also signed up for the Open House on 3rd September. We have a total number of 27 signed up, praise & all glory be to God!
After the festivities of the 25th anniversary of NET, its time to get back to work and start to “fish” for participants of the upcoming 20th school which will begin in October and last for approx. 1.5 years.
As usual we will begin enrollment with roadshows at 10 churches this year over the next two months to spread the word. As we are low on manpower, we are seeking volunteers to help out at the roadshow at the following locations / times:
The New Evangelization Team (NET) celebrated its 25th year with a special Mass celebrated by His Grace, Archbishop Nicholas Chia.
At his homily, His Grace reminded all that every baptized person is to be an evangelizer – this is our response as daughters and sons of God.
Evangelization is drawing people to the truth, communicating God’s Word and values.
The world is communicating wrong values. Christians have the mission to speak and live true values and in this way, become inspirations and an uplift to society.
