Thank God for gathering us for worship on both Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Our youth choir sang for the first time on Good Friday to the praise and glory of His blessed Name. The hymn was “Jesus Paid It All” with Mrs. Siow conducting and Miss Lois Lek on the keyboard. It was a memorable Good Friday service with Mrs. Ivy Ng–Jamieson joining us for worship after a two-week treatment at the National University Hospital. Thank God for sustaining and keeping her. Praise God also for new visitors including my aunt who came to church for the first time. May the gospel seed sown, take root and bear fruit. All praise and glory to our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

Jesus Christ rose from the dead on the third day after His death on the cross to live forever more. This is our blessed hope. Because Jesus rose from the dead He will also raise all who have died in Christ at His coming. This is the comfort for the bereaved. The separation from our loved ones who have gone before us in the Lord is but temporal. We shall see them again.

Remembering Good Friday
The church remembers the sufferings, crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ on Good Friday. What is the significance? Isaiah 53:6 tell us, “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” On the cross, Jesus paid the debt for our sins. As the old saying teaches, “He came to pay a debt He didn’t owe because we owed a debt we couldn’t pay.”

Thank God for 38 including 5 children below the age of 12, who have signed up for our first church camp. We have sufficient number of campers to cover the minimum 15 rooms required by the hotel. Traders Hotel in Puteri Habour, Johor Bahru is located just a 15 minutes drive from the Tuas checkpoint. We pray for a time of praise, rejoicing and spiritual feeding on the Word of God. The theme of our camp is, Jesus is the Joy of Living.

If you are minded to attend the camp but have yet to sign up, you are welcome to do so. Closing date for the camp registration is 13 April 2014.
