Have you ever felt awkward when someone says we are one family in Christ? Does it feel like a cliché, something we say but don't really feel or experience? It's easy to rush in and out of church each week, barely interacting with one another, and call that a family. But if we're honest, this "family" can sometimes feel dysfunctional.

So, how do we change this? How do we become a community that truly embodies the love and unity of Christ? Perhaps it starts with something as simple as staying a bit longer after each service. Instead of rushing off, why not stay back for a cup of coffee or at least until the end of the announcements?

My dear missional family,

Over the past weeks, I have had the privilege of conducting two funerals for individuals who were not part of our church community and had not been baptized. They were closely connected to our church members. While these moments have allowed us to extend care and support to grieving families, I have been careful not to make promises that are not supported by the teachings of the Bible.

It’s quite a distance from our church to Katong Square. According to Google Maps, it takes at least an hour by MRT, bus, and foot. I chose not to Grab so I could take some time to think through the chaos of rushing from one point to another each day.

EMBRACING INTERGENERATIONAL LOVE: LUNAR NEW YEAR’S REFLECTION

In my journey of faith, I often encounter the beauty and richness of different generations and cultures within the church community. It's a tapestry woven with threads of wisdom, experience, and diversity. As we celebrate Lunar New Year, it's a poignant moment to reflect on the significance of intercultural and intergenerational relationships in our lives.

BAPTISM IS A LIFELONG COMMITMENT AND CONSECRATION

A JOYFUL AND BLESSED NEW YEAR TO ALL GLORIANS!

As we move into 2024, I want to share some updates with you. Firstly, in our last bulletin of 2023, we announced that we will no longer be publishing our regular columns, "FROM THE PASTORAL DESK" and "PRAYERS MATTER TO GOD." Instead, we are shifting our focus to church-wide devotion. We hope you have received a copy of ONE THING and are already engaging with God’s Word through it.
