随着新加坡政府慢慢放松教会聚会的限制。我们也将会逐步且谨慎的恢复更多的实体聚会，让已经完成两挤疫苗的弟兄姐妹参与。从今天开始儿童主日学将回到实体聚会，他们将会使用74号二楼。为了孩子的安全，我们将禁止弟兄姐妹上到二楼，与孩子接触。老师们也必需每周做ART检验。另外，我们也将从下周起，让年长者回到教会参与实体崇拜。若你身体有不舒服，就请留在家中，并自行检验或到诊所检查。
With our government’s approach on the gradual easing of restriction on gathering, our church will progressively resume more physical gathering activities for vaccinated brothers and sisters. Children Sunday School will resume physical classes starting from today onwards and they will be using level 2 of unit 74. For the safety of our children who cannot be vaccinated yet, level 2 will be out of bound for all brothers and sisters, this is to avoid close contact with children. Teachers will be conducting ART test on weekly basis. Next Sunday(26 Dec) onwards, our elderlies will be back in Church for physical worship service. If you are unwell, please stay at home and carry out ART test either on your own or at the clinic.

This coming Sunday(26 Dec) is our Church Retreat (9.30am-12pm). The theme is “The Blessed Church”. We will follow the government’s measures on gathering and will make home gathering arrangements accordingly. Brothers and sisters who do not have access to internet can come to church and participate in the event.
