Curling: A Winter Olympic Game The sporting event called “Curling” is one of the reasons for the staging of

GigAlive-Celebrating our Children. Eleanor Adviento, daughter of TawagAwit

servant leaders Bro Bert-Sis Rosana Adviento, is one of the select athletes in

New Zealand to participate in the Youth Winter Olympics in Austria on

January 2012, and the Ministry is helping in raising funds to finance her airfare

as this will not be shouldered by the government or the games’ sporting body.

What is “Curling”? Wikipedia gives the answer: “Curling is a sport in which players slide stones across a sheet of ice towards a target area.

It is related to bowls, boule and shuffleboard. Two teams, each of four players, take turns sliding heavy, polished granite stones, also called

"rocks", across the ice curling sheet towards the house, a circular target marked on the ice.[1] Each team has eight stones. The purpose is to

accumulate the highest score for a game; points are scored for the stones resting closest to the centre of the house at the conclusion of each

end, which is completed when both teams have thrown all of their stones. A game may consist of ten or eight ends. The curler can induce a

curved path by causing the stone to slowly turn as it slides, and the path of the rock may be further influenced by two sweepers with brooms

who accompany it as it slides down the sheet, using the brooms to alter the state of the ice in front of the stone. A great deal of strategy and

teamwork goes into choosing the ideal path and placement of a stone for each situation, and the skills of the curlers determine how close to

the desired result the stone will achieve. This gives curling its nickname of "Chess On Ice"

TawagAwit prays for the victory of Eleanor in the Olympics as well as in the World Curling Championship in South Korea. Go Eleanor!

GigAlive: Concert of Inspirational and Spiritual Songs with a

dash of Pop Music

“And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.

But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid

them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a

little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.” (Mark 10:13-16)

The image of Jesus Christ welcoming the children leads us, parents and adults, to understand the

importance of children in our lives and to God. The special relationship of Jesus with the children is

because of their innocence and their unquestioning faith.

And it is that same kind of relationship that God wants us, parents and adults, to develop with God,

for truly we are His children and He is our Father.

With music we shall celebrate this special relationship with our Father, and with more meaning

through the songs of our children. They shall render inspirational and spiritual songs with a dash of

pop music in praise of God.

Our Presentor: TawagAwit-St Mary’s Northcote

TawagAwit-St Mary’s Northcote is the mother chapter of

the TawagAwit ministry. It was organized in 2007 and sings

every 2nd

Sunday 10:30am in the parish.

The chapter is currently led by Bro Cyril/Sis Rose Bas supported by Bro

Bert/Sis Rosana Adviento. The chapter initiated the following projects:

FEAST.

The group’s pianist Jenny Fox said that through the years the group has

improved in their singing and the members’ commitment to the parish has

been consistent.

The chapter invites parishioners and other interested individuals to join the

group.
