We warmly welcome Gerald Boon, our new Church Administrator, with effect from 1 January 2025. Gerald is new to many of us, we interviewed him to help us get to know him.

In the Christmas and New Year period, many will be busy with gatherings and meet-ups. As a church, we hope to equip and provide opportunities for members to share the gospel with those around them.

We held our Members’ Meeting on 10 November 2024, the agenda was rather full. We voted on the re-election of our elders and various members’ matters. Our elders also presented on our church’s priorities that were reflected in the Budget for 2025 and took questions. We also heard of various updates about our life together as a church.

We shared some updates about Yanadi, our Ministry Worker for Christian Education, at our services.

For 4 weeks in November to December, we will be reading the book of 2 Thessalonians together. This letter by Paul encourages the original hearers, and also us, to continue standing firm in the face of opposition.

Our elders have been teaching and reminding us from Scripture that God intends for His people to live together in community as a church, and the way they organise themselves has also been revealed. What does Scripture say about how the church is to be organised, specifically, the leadership of the church?
