Christ Will Come Again Pastoral Teaching in November 2024

Date: 5 November
Time: 11:00 am
to 12:30 pm
Venue: MR 4-2

How do you feel when you proclaim the mystery of faith, “Christ will come again,” again and again during Holy Communion? Apathy? Anticipation? Anxiety?

Let’s learn and decide together to let the hope of Jesus’ Second Coming enable us to have minds that are alert, lives that are self-controlled, and hearts that long for the day when Jesus will return.
