ESSENTIALINFORMATION

SCRIPTURE MEDITATIONHEBREWS 13:1-5Let brotherly love continue. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels. Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also. Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

PRAYER FOCUSThat we are a people who abide in Lord and rest under His covering.

PSALM 91:1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

CELEBRATING THE FAMILY AT BBTCAs a family church, BBTC recognises the importance of the family as an essential basic unit of our society. In celebration of the family, BBTC has lined up a series of sermon messages for the upcoming month of May and June on family relations. The celebration also extends to an array of events to strengthen family bonds and to equip BBTCians with a biblical understanding of the various roles within the family. Here are some of the exciting highlights in May.

May 10 Mandarin Worship MiB Family Outing The Mandarin Worship had an enjoyable time of family bonding at Coney island.

May 13 Elijah7000 - Fan the Fire (Kum Yan Methodist Church)

Hear what local research is telling us about the state of the Christian family and fatherhood in Singapore and learn what families can do, individually and collectively as a community to restore the family foundation.

May 13 & 14 Mothers’ Day Celebration We honour mums through a special prayer dedication in our Worship Services as we celebrate Mother’s Day. Mums will each receive a special tea bag. Ps Andrew will preach over the pulpit on the topic “Authentic Relationship”

May 20 Family Appreciation Night 2017 (By Hokkien Service)

Invite your pre believing family members to the Family Appreciation Night 2017. Highlights include dinner, games, songs, children’s programme and the gospel message in Hokkien by Rev Oh Beng Khee.

May 25 to 27 The World Needs a Father / The Brilliant Mother (Emmanuel House)

The World Needs A Father is about training communities of men to understand the value of their role as fathers, and giving them the tools to train other men around them. The Brilliant Mother is about forming a strong and united husband and wife team that builds a firm foundation from which authority, discipline and love is exercised toward the children.

Watch out for more exciting highlights in June as BBTC continues to celebrate the Family !

June 3 No Youth Church Service as the whole of Youth Church will be deployed for “Generation GO!” a nation-wide youth outreach event as part of the Empowered21 Congress.
