Thanksgiving, Events, and Announcements
BoYM- Finding your place 2026
“Calling all young adults from 18 to 35 – this announcement is for you! Registration for FYP 2026 is now open! If you’re waiting for Uni to start, in between jobs or have a block of time from January to March next year, sign up for FYP now!
FYP, or the Finding Your Place, is a 3-month holistic discipleship programme brought to you by the Board of Youth ministry and Sterling Campus.
At FYP 2026, you’ll get to wrestle with your hard questions about faith and see how faith connects to ALL of life – including math and art! You’ll learn how to be still and hear God. You’ll get to go overseas to see God’s kingdom in action. And you’ll be part of a loving community that will support you, challenge you and help you grow deeper in God!
Here’s what one of this year’s participants said about his experience: “I went into FYP having many doubts about God & Christianity, and I was unsure of my own faith. My 3 months in FYP have truly transformed my understanding of the faith, getting to learn more about Him & appreciating what He has done for us so much more. I have also found a community filled with people I’ve grown to love and treasure 🙂 If you want to explore the faith with a community to grow together in Christ alongside you, FYP is the place for you!”

Christmas Service (Combined)

As we have entered the Advent season, we step into a time of waiting, watching, and preparing our hearts for the coming of Christ. Advent reminds us that God meets us in the waiting, with hope, peace, joy, and love, and invites us to look again at who Jesus truly is.
Throughout this season, we’ll reflect on the richness of Christ’s character:
• Jesus, the Prince of Peace
• Jesus, the Lamb of God
• Jesus, the Light of the World
• Jesus, the Living Water
On 21 December, we also celebrate a key moment in our church with our Baptismal, Confirmation and Membership Reception Service, welcoming new believers and members into our community.
On Christmas Day, we rejoice in the birth of the One who is the Way, the Truth and the Life, and the Good Shepherd who knows us and leads us with love on the last Sunday of the year.
All are welcome to join us this season as we worship, celebrate, and encounter the One who brings peace, light, and life.
