ANNOUNCEMENTS

We have some upcoming events and I would like to highlight a couple of them.

SEASONAL LIFEGROUP — SEPTEMBER TO NOVEMBER

  • If you are not plugged into a LifeGroup or are visiting and wanting to connect more with the church, we are running a seasonal group hosted by Jon & Mike’s LG from September to November.

  • The group meets on Saturday afternoons and is open to any demographic and life-stages.

  • It is an invitation to get to know the church and grow together for the next 3 months. So, do consider joining this seasonal LG as we close out the last few months of the year.

GIVING

  • We will now transition to a time of giving.

  • To give, you can open your banking app to scan the QR Code on the screen.

  • Please stand as we pray this liturgy together as a way to posture our hearts in giving and to renew our dependence on God.

         (Read liturgy below).

Father, we come before You with grateful hearts. You have welcomed us in through Your Son and given us every good gift.

All that we have belongs to You, and out of Your abundance we freely give today. Free us from the burden of endless accumulation, and teach us to unclench our fists from what we cannot keep.

Help us to be faithful stewards who give cheerfully — not from obligation, but with open hearts that love You and serve others.

Father, receive these gifts and use them for Your Kingdom and Your name’s sake. AMEN.

  • Please be seated. The QR Code will be on the screen for a while more.

PASSING THE PEACE

  • At this time, we want to welcome one another as members of God’s family.

  • Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you."

  • When we pass the peace, we are not merely exchanging pleasantries. We are declaring that we belong to Christ and that, in Him, we belong to one another.

  • Let us read these words together:

  • Chair: "The peace of the Lord be with you always."

  • Congregation: "And also with you."

  • Now, let us take a moment to greet someone — perhaps someone new, or someone you have not spoken with in a while — and pass the peace of Christ to one another.

SCRIPTURE READER & SPEAKER

  • (Invite people to take their seats.)

  • We are continuing our sermon series on The Model Church: A Journey Through First Thessalonians.

  • Ps. Andre is speaking today but before he comes up, let us welcome the Scripture Reader for the day: Gabriel Tan
