Dreaming with God: Pulling Tomorrow into Today
FOVERO is a care group that meets in Island ECC on Thursday evenings. This week, we will be studying Chapter 10 of Dreaming with God by Bill Johnson. This final chapter looks into how we have inherited heaven and how we are to bring heaven to earth.

FOVERO RUB Recruitment (7 August 2016)
Our next serving time as a care group to bless the church will be this coming Sunday. During that time, a few of our members will be out of action and so we need to rally some fresh blood into FOVERO RUB! With that, we are putting out an appeal for anyone interested to sign up. It's only 40 minutes starting from 11am on August 7, so we hope to be able to bless Island ECC during that time.
Gloson and Sheepies Boat Trip (20 August 2016)
Gloria and Wilson alongside Sheepie's CG are planning a boat trip on August 20! It will be a day of fun and sun and maybe some walking on water! Sign up in the FOVERO WhatsApp Group and, as Gloria has requested, we have to beat Sheepie
Spotlight Song: To Live is Christ
Lyric Highlight: If I rise, let me rise on You—not on all of my successes, my esteem, or my pursuits. Reflection: Our salvation is based on Christ's work alone: so it means that our ultimate victory and pride in life is to have Christ as the answer. Do you feel confident about yourself based on Christ's love for you or does your confidence come from your own personal achievements and victories?

To Live is Christ (Sidewalk Prophets)
If I rise, let me rise on You
Not on all of my successes
My esteem or my pursuits
If I lose, let me lose my life
'Cause if I belong to Jesus
The flesh is crucified
For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ, to die is gain
If I grow, let me grow in You
Wilt the seeds of wanting more
Rippin' pride out by the roots
And if I'm still, let me hear You speak
Not the tone of my transgressions
But the song of the Redeemed
For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ, to die is gain
For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ, to die is gain
My great desire is to be with You
But this is the place You chose for me
This is the place You chose for me
To lift my cross and give everything
This is the time You gave to me
This is the time You gave to me
For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ, to die is gain
I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same
For me to live is Christ, to die is gain
