Weekly Announcements

Below are our weekly announcements. Our hope is that announcements are not just for your information, but also for your participation.

Post-Sermon Sharing and Prayer

As a faith community, we have a responsibility to care for one another. While social distancing may hinder our ability to meet physically, God has equipped us with the technology to meet online so that we can continue to fellowship together.
Please join us after our live-stream at 10:45am for a time of congregation-wide prayer & sharing.

December Family Worship Services

For our December worship services, we want to emphasize that though we are apart, we are celebrating Christmas and remembering Christ as one faith family. And so, we are asking our members to participate in our service. And we aren’t just asking families with children, but all members to participate). How can you participate?

By video recording yourselves doing one of the following:

  • singing a carol (or 2)
  • reading a Scripture
  • answering a question regarding Christmas

Our hope is to compile all of your video files together so that when we gather for worship on those Sundays, we will be able to see our whole church community worshiping together.

Our goal is to get at least 10 families to sing each carol. Please feel free to sign up for more than 1 carol/role. You can encourage members to sign up here. 

English Ministry Town Hall – January 10

We will be hosting our ministry town hall via Zoom on January 10 from 10:45-11:45 AM.

Church Incorporation Announcement

  1. Since our last distribution of the incorporation documents back in March, the pandemic has put the church incorporation timeline on hold.  We have also learnt in the past few months that meetings and voting of members in person are not always feasible. Therefore, we are distributing a slightly revised version of the By-Law to allow meetings of members and voting to be conducted in electronic format.  The changes are in Section IV only together with a handful of terminologies cleaned up throughout the By-Law.
  2. The revised By-Law will be distributed to members in the week of Nov 09. Members with email addresses registered with the church will receive email notification to access the final incorporation documents on-line. Anyone not getting the notification can contact [email protected]. Members can also call and arrange with the Church Office to pick up a hard copy if needed.
  3. We would like to get membership approval of the incorporation documents before the legal process. The 1st reading for passing the documents will be conducted during the membership meeting on Dec 27. We highly encourage members to join the meeting for this critical step. The 2nd and 3rd readings will be carried out in early 2021 with the target to get the church incorporated by Jul 01, 2021.
