News & Announcements

1. We welcome Elder (Dr) Chin Hoong Chor to our pulpit again today, as he continues with the second part of his message from last Sunday.

2. This is the Holy Week beginning with Palm Sunday today and leading to Good Friday and culminating in Easter (Resurrection) Sunday. We encourage members who desire to observe a time of deeper reverence, meditation and personal worship (wherever they may be) to join in a day fast on Wednesday (19 March), and to break fast together in Church at 7:15pm with a light supper. That will be followed at 8.00 pm by the special Central Prayer Meeting where Rev Robert Chew will also explain Covenantal Theology, the doctrine of God’s provision for mankind’s salvation. Others who do not fast that day are also welcome to join the supper and/or the Central Prayer Meeting separately, and we encourage everyone to come.

3. For those who are new to fasting but desire to make a start, they may try out a partial fast first - e.g. by eating a much reduced portion (one-quarter, one-third, or half) of the usual amount for the meals, or eating breakfast but skipping lunch. A full fast entails abstaining from all food. In both cases, one may drink plain water from time to time when needed. Through all this, up to the breaking of the fast, meditate on the Cross and what the Lord has done for you, giving thanks and praying for cleansing and grace to walk worthily of Him, and any other matters as the Spirit lays on your heart.

4. Worship the Lord on solemn Good Friday at the Vesper Service at 7.30pm as we meditate on the Lord’s atonement for sin on the Cross. The Lord’s Supper will be observed.

5. Worship the Lord and celebrate the Resurrection at our combined English-Mandarin Sunrise Service at 6.30 am on Easter Sunday, and join in the church breakfast after that. This will be the only service next Sunday and there will be no other meeting or activity of any group, fellowship, Sunday School or Bible classes (all levels/depts.), etc. There will be a group photo-taking of the entire church family immediately after the Service - please make sure you are “in the picture’!

6. Parents of the Children’s Choir: Please note that your children will be singing during the Easter Sunrise Service. They will need to be in the Music Room (level 3) by 5:30am to put on their robes and do their warm-ups.
