Weekly Bulletin 每周报告 31st May 2020
Dear brothers and sisters,
By the grace of God, Singapore will be ending our Circuit Breaker this coming week. It is indeed something we must be thankful for and it’s a small milestone in our long fight against this virus. Continue to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding, acknowledge him in every part of your life. As we enter the reopening phase on the 2nd of June, let us continue to be thankful for the progress and continue to practice caution to prevent the resurgence of COVID-19 in our community.
亲爱的弟兄姐妹,
靠着神的恩典,新加坡将在这个星期结束我们的阻断期。虽然这个里程碑只是我们对抗病毒的一小步,但这的确值得我们感恩。一心仰赖我们的神,不靠自己的聪明,在你生命的每一个部分都承认祂。新加坡进入解封期时,让我们带着感恩的心,继续保持卫生警惕,以免病毒在我们社区中重复。愿主祝福大家!
