PRAYER CORNER “I call on you, my God, for you will answer me; turn your ears to me and hear my prayer.” Ps 17:6

In this season of Lent, let us come before God in reflection and contemplation of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Pray for our deepening relationship with God.

Pray for spiritual growth of our Church’s CGs. Pray for greater bonding among the CGs as they come together to be enriched by God’s word and be filled with God’s love.

Pray for our Building committee as they meet w ith several Presbyterian Churches to discuss the relocation of our worship service and ministries. Pray for God’s guidance for the committee in making major decisions in this concern.

MARCH ADULT CHRISTIAN EDUCATION (ACE): ROMANS - A NEW PERSPECTIVE The standard Christian understanding of what Paul is saying in his Letter to the Romans is that all mankind have sinned, and salvation is for all who believe. It is by faith that we are saved, and not by fulfilling the works of the law. This has been the epicentre of Paul's theology, and the Letter to the Romans is said to have changed the course of human history. Augustine was deeply influenced by it. So was Martin Luther, who initiated the Protestant Reformation movement of the 16th century after reading it. Today, it continues to be read and studied by millions of Christians who are profoundly transformed by its message.

However, in recent times, some people have argued that the church has misinterpreted this letter for the last 2,000 years. How and where have we gone wrong? Come explore Romans with Rev (Dr) Leonard Wee:

Dates/Time: 19 and 26 March (Sun), 9:30am Venue: Tong Siu Hall
