Happy Anniversary!
Happy anniversary, St Thomas Aquinas Choir, and a very happy feast day to our patron saint as well! As we look back on 38 years of ministry, we recall with fondness the members who have come before us. We wouldn't be here without them. So let's take this occassion to thank the pioneers who first formed the family that is STAC, and the new members who will continue to mould and shape the choir for, hopefully, many more anniversaries to come.
God bless STAC!
God bless STAC!

CNY Resolutions
Happy Lunar New Year, dearest choir! Hope everyone's having a great time visiting relatives, playing cards, munching on goodies and enjoying themselves. Amidst our celebrations, let's not forget that the New Year is also a time for us to reflect on all that has happened in the past year. Of course, one thing that comes with such reflections is the making of resolutions, so to help you start out, here are a few friendly suggestions on resolutions you might consider making this year:
1. Count Your Blessings
Before you sleep each night, make an effort to list out some of the blessings God has given you during the day. Try to name at least five incidents in which God made His presence known to you. Thank Him for even the smallest of miracles: that you crossed the road safely, got to school on time, met up with close friends etc. You'll be surprised at how wonderful life can be with a simple shift of perspective.
2. Offer Up Your Day to God
Before you begin each day, lift up a prayer to the Father, offering your entire day to Him. Teach yourself to have no expectations--do not ask anything of Him, except for the peace and courage necessary to accept all that He has prepared for you, even if His plans may seem to go against your intentions at first sight. Offer up your day, have no expectations, and see what God can do for you when you place your life in His gentle hands.
3. Say a Prayer Before Every Task
Even when performing the simplest of tasks--such as going to school or starting on your homework--make an effort to whisper a short prayer to God, asking Him to guide you in all you do. Who knows what wondrous results one tiny action might produce when God is the one prompting it?
4. Praise the Lord Before Others
One simple way to evangelise is to show others how much you appreciate God and how wonderful it is to be loved by Him. When you feel a desire to praise the Lord, do so confidently, even in front of your non-Christian friends. You might just pique someone's curiosity that way, and inspire him to learn more about this God that you are so joyously giving praise to.
5. Read the Word of God
Take some time every day to read the Bible. You could read it from cover to cover, or say a little prayer ('Speak Lord, your servant is listening.') before flipping to a random page and start reading from there (I personally do the latter and often find myself surprised by what God has to say to me). Listen to all He has to say to you and equip yourself with the Word and wisdom of God. Only then can you be prepared to go out and spread the Good News.
Happy holidays everyone! May you find joy, prosperity, love and success in the Lord in the year ahead!

A Trip Back to 2011...
As the new year begins to unfold before us, let us take a moment to pause and reflect on the year that has just passed. 2011 has been an awesome journey for STAC indeed; we have gained new and wonderful members and shared many unforgettable experiences together. Let us never forget that every passing moment is a gift from God, even the times of pain or sorrow. Praise the Lord, and may all of you have a blessed 2012!
