OTHER HIGHLIGHTS

CHARISIANS PRAYING

If you are interested in praying for one another through email, please sign up with Sin Lee at slyou@singtel.com.

CHARIS DIASPORA

Rev Tan-Yeo has started a yahoo-group for Charisians working or studying overseas through which she updates them on the events that have taken place in Charis MC. This is to enable Charisians to continue to stay in touch with the church and ease their re-entry into Charis when their stints overseas come to an end. We want to see them fitting in back into church without too much difficulty. Please let them know that they can write in to be a part of this yahoo-group by writing to the owner of CharisDiaspora@yahoogroups.com.

DIALECT MINISTRY AT BETHANY NURSING HOME

On the 3rd Sunday (from 1.30pm) and the last Tuesday (from 2pm) of every month, Rev Tan-Yeo visits the Bethany Nursing Home and run a simple dialect service. If you speak Hokkien or Cantonese and would like to join Rev Tan-Yeo in this ministry, do sign up with her at tanyeo@charismc.org.sg. The service is about 45 minutes in total. But on the last Tuesday, Rev Tan-Yeo goes around to the bed-ridden to serve Holy Communion and will end about 4pm.

REGISTRATION FOR PRE-MARITAL COUPLES

Couples intending to be married in 2010 and the first half of 2011 are encouraged to register for pre-marital counseling with Rev Tan-Yeo (tanyeo@charismc.org.sg) or Pastor Andy Goh (andy@charismc.org.sg). We hope to prepare you way ahead for a journey of a life-time.

SUNDAY FLORAL OFFERING

We wish to acknowledge the frequent donations of Charis members for our Sunday Floral Offerings. These members often use this means of floral offering as an expression of thanksgiving to God in their lives. It has also been used in memory of loved ones, anniversary date etc. Their support and generosity have also greatly added to the ambience of our weekly Sunday Services.

We have put up a weekly schedule for floral offerings on the [Church Office] notice board for your convenience. Dates for floral offerings may be chosen in advance. Do also remember to include your name, purpose and contact number on this schedule.

Please contact the church office for enquiries.

Kindly forward your cheque/cash to Thor Bee. This is a purely voluntary offering and refreshment will continue to be provided every Sunday even if no donation is forthcoming. However your contribution is always much appreciated!

WS2 COMMUNION LUNCH

This monthly communion lunch is another avenue for Charisians to bless each other. You can do so by donating towards the cost of the lunch.

Indicate your donation on the WS2 Communion Lunch Offering form posted on the [WS2] notice board and state the reason that you wish to be printed in the Sunday bulletin as acknowledgement. Examples are: anniversary/ birthday celebration; thanksgiving; remembrance & etc.

For your donation, please use the church’s tithing envelope (placed at the pews), indicate “WS2 Communion Lunch Offering” and drop it into the offering bag or give it directly to the church office. Thank you for your blessings!
