In his recent lectures in HK, Os Guiness, author and social critic, posited that the invention of painkillers in the 1960s has resulted in people's unrealistic view of suffering.

Let's find out in a talk and discussion, "Suffering in the Bible", led by Ting Guevarra-Small on 25 March, Tuesday in the Fellowship Hall, 7:00PM to 8:30PM, light dinner provided.

Poverty X: Fund Raising for Good Rock Foundation This Friday night the youth will be participating in an overnight poverty simulation to raise money for Good Rock Foundation, a NGO that works in North West China helping to improve the quality of life for orphaned and high risked disabled children. The money the youth raise will go to Good Rocks Fig Bakery Project which teaches disabled young adults how to bake, keeping them out of the asylum and in some cases giving them skills to become partially independent. Youth will still be collecting sponsorships this Sunday after church, or you can drop donations off at the Church marked 'Poverty X'. Thank you for your support. |
