Ekletos Chapel Week: Theme Song

HOLD ON TO CHRIST 
Verse 1 
We toil all day in the sun 
Seeking acceptance and praise 
But all that we do will soon end 
So Lets learn to let go my friend (x2)

Chorus
Hold on to Christ, the everlasting one 
for He is our firm foundation 
Hold on to Christ, our anchor of hope
He offers peace and life eternal.

Verse 2
Each day has its own wave,
The untold mystery is death
Be bold, Embrace what's at hand 
In this transient land (x2)

Verse 3
Excel in work and let's thrive 
Yes, learn to celebrate life
For in Christ our lives are secure
So live with joy and in hope (2x)

Freshers' Night Song (M.Th 1/PG Dip.)

Main Verse
Life in the hostel, it is very fun.
If you cherish each day, it will go well with you. 
It's true, it's true, *it's true, it's true.* 
We wish that this never ends;
Rejoice and spend your time, these days will never come. 
Oh SAIACS, oh SAIACS.

Verse 1
Gents and ladies hostel, it is very fun.
To use washing machine, you need 10 kilos
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no.
I wonder how this will work;
Sisters can wash themselves; brothers, don't you worry, You have the smaller one.

Verse 2
Students' life in SAIACS, it is not easy.
For there is no exam, yet don't take it easy.
You know, you know, you know, you know. 
I don't want this student's life;
Assignments can overwhelm, but AI says don't worry.
So relax and chill out.

Verse 3
SAIACS community, it is lively.
We can't wait for Fridays to have fellowship.
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, oh yes.
Class, get over quickly;
Fridays are the best night, you can be who you are, 
But Monday, why Monday?

Verse 4
Fish in the commons, it is very rare.
Your coming is a surprise, for you are expensive.
Oh ho, oh ho, oh ho, oh ho.
How we wish you were cheaper;
But still we can adjust, commons is still the best.
So just eat, you'll survive.

Verse 5
Sports in SAIACS, it is very fun.
We only have one ground, yet we play every sport.
Haha, haha, haha, haha.
Oh! how playful SAIACS are
Playing, giving your life, like international,
Smashing and striking.

End Verse
Life in SAIACS, it is very fun.
If you cherish each day, it will go well with you. 
It's true, it's true, it's true it's true.

Mafia

The game Mafia was bombarded through Sinai's lead 💪🏻. As the game begins having settled who the mafias, villagers and the doctor were, Dr. Varghese , an innocent villager took the lead to speak up. He spoke like a modern villager that a doctor (Vizo) suspected him to be a mafia and killed him with the help of other villagers 😜. Yet, he died as a martyr having killed the first mafia (Shim) under his powerful speech. There are conspiracy rumours that this mafia who died was killed by her own member (Blesson) 😝.

Intriguing to know, yet intricate in its essence was a mafia who defended herself with a simple hearing problem (Zakie) in her most innocent and soothing voice. She fooled and convicted the villagers yet her mistake in closing her eyes when the villagers were told to open, led to her death 😆.

Interestingly, another mafia (Apang), who was suspected from the first instance, survived till the end. There are rumours that he has been fooling his vibrant neighbour who was one of the villagers (Evila) to collaborate with him in carrying out his mischievous act. She learnt that a friend/neighbour can be a foe, which she may not forget nor forgive him 😂.

 Moral: The loudest speeches can end in martyrdom and the sweetest voice can fool the sharpest ears 🤣.

JOC Farewell

FAREWELL
Manu George
Like the hair that misses your head,
JOC will miss your presence.
The skillful play of the strings on the guitar,
And the soothing voice that echoes during the cell group,
Will be missed.
Yet, we believe that though time takes us apart, 
The bonds and memories created will grow stronger.
Even as you soar high with your family,
May God lift you higher for His glory.

Ashish Varghese
As sharp as the keys on the piano, 
So is your personality. 
Like the sweet, calm melodies a piano produces,  
Your character and behavior are equally harmonious.  
Though we've only known you for a short while,
Your presence has indeed made a difference.
Though young at heart, you are wise beyond your years.
As you pursue your music career,  
May God smooth your journey,  
Turning your life into a sweet melody—  
A harmony that inspires those around you.

 *_JOC, We are the light! We will always fight!_*
