PASTORAL PAGE LOVING OUR PARENTS by Asst Ps Timothy Lee The “sandwich generation”, a term given to mid-lifers who are around the age range of 35 to 60. They are usually working adults who find themselves taking care of their children while supporting their elderly parents. The sandwich generation faces pressures and challenges in terms of time, financial and mental health. It is a pressurizing situation to be in as the average lifespan in Singapore is well beyond 80 years old. According to an annual report by the National Population and Talent Division, one in four Singaporeans will be aged 65 and above by 2030, a sign of the rapidly aging society. Caring for elderly parents is an experience most of us have or are beginning to experience. The Bible tells us to honor our father and mother (Exod. 20:12). It is to hold respect for them. If we have healthy relationships with our parents, it will be natural to respond with love. But if our connection with our parents is not good, it can be more difficult to care for them. However, we should respect them regardless of how difficult it is to get along with them. It is pleasing to God when we honor our parents (Col. 3:20).

CRUX REASONABLE FAITH SERIES The topics in this year's reasonable faith series seeks to explore the philosophical and theological perspective of the nature of God, and His relationship to the human experience. Each topic tackles a challenging question about God, such as why a good God would allow suffering, how we can know God, and why God isn't more obvious to us. So, if you ever had such questions or if you have friends wondering about the nature of God, do invite them and join us for this 3-week series starting on 28 May! |

YOUNG ADULTS FELLOWSHIP (YAF) RETREAT After 4 years, YAF Retreat 2023 is heading overseas again! The retreat will take place from Friday, 14 Jul 2023 to Sunday, 16 Jul 2023 at Fraser Place Puteri Harbour, Johor. This year, our hope is for young adults to re-connect with the heart of God and his desire for us to relate rightly and genuinely with him, ourselves, and the communities around us. Topics explored during the sessions include "how do I move from knowing about God to knowing God?", "how do I love myself?", "how do I genuinely forgive those who have hurt me?", and "what part can I play in God's kingdom purposes?" Retreatants can also look forward to intimate small-group discussions, as well as fun and bonding with the young adults community! Our speaker is Mr Julian Chin, who was a district judge before he left the courts for his theological studies at Regent College in Vancouver, Canada. Thereafter, he served as the youth and young adults pastor in his church for 5 years, before rejoining the courts as a district judge. He is married to Wo Bin, and they have 2 daughters, Ashley (22) and Lauren (18). Julian and Wo Bin have been attending The Bible Church.
