PASTORAL PAGE GOING WITH THE SPIRIT’S FLOW by Ps Lee Kok Wah I spent the first week of my undergraduate life not by attending lectures but by swimming and floating. No, I was not playing truant. I was representing NUS as a member of the university’s swim team that was in Jakarta for the Intervarsity Games. After the swim meet was over, the team from The University of Indonesia invited us to spend a day with them at a waterpark. Our Indonesian hosts invited us to join them in a swim against the current in a flow-pool that meandered around the park. It took what felt like forever for us to complete the approximately 400m.

CHILDREN DEDICATION SERVICES Date: 12 & 13 August 2023 (Saturday & Sunday) Closing Date For Application: 25 June 2023 (Sunday) “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.” (Psalm 127:3) Children dedication is for parents to make a commitment in the presence of God and the church to raise up the child in the way of God. It is in obedience to God’s commandments (Deut. 6:6-7), through His grace and love, to undertake this responsibility as godly parents to model what it means to have a loving and growing relationship with our Lord Jesus in the hope that faith will be produced in the child as he/she grows up and confesses Jesus Christ as his/her Lord and Saviour. The Children Dedication Service will be held on Saturday & Sunday, 12 & 13 August 2023 during the worship services. Both parents must be Christians and children to be dedicated must be aged 5 years and below. Parents are encouraged to dedicate their children and apply to do so as soon as possible. Please note the closing date and that the completion of the 5-week Parenting Children Course in July this year (Details of this course is under 'Upcoming Events' of this bulletin) or in the previous years is a requirement. Please click here for the application form. For enquiries, please email Asst Ps Timothy Lee at timothy@biblechurch.sg. |

LADIES MINISTRY RETREAT “AN UNHURRIED SPIRITUALITY” Today’s society wants everything quick and easy including a shortcut religion to be zapped by the Holy Spirit, with quick answers to prayer, short worship services and sermons, and instant healing and empowering. However, there is no such express spirituality - “Mac-faith”. Our driven and hurried lifestyle has left us no room, space, or time for the painstaking and intentional process of spiritual formation. Transformation can only come about when we slow down and spend time in prayer, specifically listening prayer. There is a need for personal spiritual formation where the Deep can speak to the deep. Our speaker is Ms Lye Mui Fong. She graduated from Regent College with a MA in Spiritual Theology in 2004 and served in the Family Life Ministry. In 2022, she left Pastoral Ministry and now works in a Medical Concierge as Patient Experience Manager, bringing hope and comfort to patients in hospitals. God has placed her to minister to a captivated audience one at a time. She is married to Rev Keith Lai and homeschooled her two sons. Come and join us at the Ladies Retreat for a time to rest in Him and connect with one another! To sign up, please click this: https://forms.gle/r5AmS4yPmDwp5VE27 Registration closes on Sunday, 23 July 2023. For more information, please contact Angela Ong at angela@biblechurch.sg. |
