We ended January with our first Training Day of 2026. Over 200 adults and children gathered on a Saturday morning to learn and be equipped together. 

We recently held a parents’ engagement for those with children under the age of 18. Pastor Jeremy reminded parents of the special responsibility God has given them and exhorted parents to prioritize the discipleship of their children.

Lois Yong shares how this book has been useful to apply the gospel to a particular lesson and situation that parents and children will encounter — the sin of lying. She shares how it does not just talk about the pitfalls of lying, but also models how the gospel can be applied to this situation and obeyed.

Fidelia Kuek reviews this series that she has found useful to counsel and help children process their emotions and responses in different situations.

At our Members’ Meeting in May, Pastor Jeremy shared about the new Children’s Ministry curriculum. Here, he shares more about what our children will be learning.

Some of us may be familiar with Pilgirm’s Progress, the classic by John Bunyan. Cecilia Kang reviews and shares with us about an adapted and illustrated version, Little Pilgrim’s Progress, that is suitable for children.

What does it look like for men and women to work together? What does it look like? Our Children’s Ministry has intentionally designed their ministry to live this out. Pastor Jeremy and various volunteers in the ministry share how men and women work together.

Here are two books for our parents to consider using to teach and start conversations about the topic of gender with children.

As we seek to help our children to understand the storyline of Scripture, some members share which children’s Bibles they have found helpful.

Tiang Siew Ting is no stranger to many in GBC, especially our families and children who are in Sunday School. Here, she shares a bit more about her work and how she has seen God at work over the years.

Pastor Jeremy shared some staffing updates for our Children, Youth, Young Adults and Christian Education ministries.

Our Children’s Ministry team organised a parenting panel on 6 October 2024 to help encourage and build up the many parents in our midst. Rachael, one of our young parents, attended this session, and shares with us some of her reflections.

Christmas is approaching! In this beautiful account, Cecilia shares her hope that by speaking of Jesus to her children throughout the year, even if it is in bits and pieces, they will be able to appreciate the true significance of Christmas and know who to turn to when the world fails them. 

As we end the year, some of our ministries are planning for the next year and are looking for volunteers. If you are available and keen, we encourage you to contact the ministry, and see how you can build up the church in these practical ways!

Do we struggle to see all that God has provided us with, or circumstances that we are in as His gifts to us? Pastor Mark acknowledges this struggle, and also encourages us to move from seeing God's provisions as liabilities to gifts. 

Pastor Mark will be conducting an EQUIP series on The Art of Parenting over six Sundays from September to November 2023.

At our recent Prayer Meetings, different members have been sharing about ministry opportunities as well as needs that have arisen.

One of the growing ministries in GBC is the Children's Ministry and its nursery service for children below the age of 3 has been burgeoning, both with children and helpers. In this post, we share about this ministry and some of their needs.

Our children begin a new curriculum from the end of August. We asked the ministry team to share more about this new curriculum, why they picked it and how they hope this will benefit our children.

On 31 July, we held our second family dedication of the year, committing with God and one another to come alongside the parents to raise these new children that God has so generously blessed us with.
