Announcements

  1. A warm welcome to everyone who joined us this morning. We are delighted to see you all.

  2. Children's Sunday School: There will be a Children's Sunday School gathering and lunch after today's Cantonese worship service. All Sunday school children and parents are welcome to attend and interact with the teachers.

    The Children's Sunday School will be on winter break starting December 8 and will resume on March 2 next year.

    During this period, childcare services will be available in the new hall classrooms, and parents can drop off and pick up their children as usual.



Mission News

  1. This year, a total of $17,040.00 has been received for the Overseas Mission (M4) Faith Pledge, while the budget is set at $30,700.00. Faith Pledge is an exercise in recognising that even though we may not have enough at the moment, we practise our faith and rely on God to provide in His time. It is also a response to God's abundant blessings. We pray that the Lord helps us to give faithfully, remembering the needs of the missionaries, and we hope they may receive this gift of encouragement before the celebration of Christ's birth.

  2. Please pray for the Mission Department as they plan and budget for the coming year. May the Lord use these efforts!

  3. Remember S & C and H & Y, as the weather in their region has entered the cold winter season. Pray for God's protection over their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, and that He blesses the work of their hands.

  4. Remember H & P, Pastor Janet Tam, James Che, and Nicholas Yao in their ministries. May those they serve be nurtured and blessed, and may more unreached people be led to the Lord. We ask for God’s guidance and use of their service!


Prayer Items

  1. Guidance from Jesus: Pray that we follow Jesus, our Wonderful Counsellor, allowing His wisdom and Spirit to guide our lives.

  2. Hope in Christ’s light: Ask for hope and comfort as we live in the light of God’s purpose through Jesus.

  3. Preparation in Advent: Pray for hearts ready to reflect on Christ’s first coming and anticipate His return with joy.
