Jesse Tree
During the Advent Season we welcome children to join the Jesse Tree adventure. The Jesse Tree is named from Isaiah 11:1-2
“A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. The Spirit of the Lord will rest upon Him.”
The Jesse Tree represents Jesus’ family tree, starting from Jesse, the father of King David. Creating a Jesse Tree for your family is a fun, hands-on way to walk through the story of Jesus. As you read through the daily devotions, you can add an ornament to your tree. Each one represents the ancestors of Jesus and the events leading to Jesus’ birth. We like to invite all the children to bring one or two ornaments to hang on our Church Christmas Tree in the sanctuary. During offering, the children are invited to come up to hang their ornament on the tree.
Parents, you may access the guide to this Jesse Tree Adventure by clicking here! Have a fun time with the children during their holidays.
Lift Upgrading
The church lift is undergoing upgrading from 18 November to 20 December 2024, and will be out of service during this period.
To support congregants with mobility challenges in accessing Sunday worship services, MPR 1-4/5 will be available for live streaming of Sunday Services and Holy Communion.
A compiled list of affected events and their newly assigned rooms are also on level 1 notice board for your reference.
We appreciate your patience as we make this important upgrade. Please keep the church, staff, and contractors in prayer for a smooth process.
For assistance or clarification, contact the Church Office or Raymond Khoo (Chair of the Property Management Committee).
