U Matters

The earthquake in Nepal, Christian persecution in the Mid-East, and the rioting in Baltimore remind us that life is a constant stream of natural and human-made disasters. Meanwhile, we pray and remember Psalm 46:1, 2: "God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the sea."

Pastor Greg

Courses / Workshop

Faith in the Workplace Workshop  **THIS SUNDAY** 
Our deacon, Andrew Chua is starting a series of four workshops this Sunday, 3 May after 5PM service, 6:15PM-7:15PM. These four workshops (3, 10, 17, 24 May) are based on more than twenty years of grappling with and living out what it means to be a disciple of Jesus in the workplace. You will find these workshops helpful if:

  • your work life and your spiritual life seem to be disconnected or compartmentalized
  • you feel oppressed and stressed out at work or 
  • you just want a better understanding of what the Bible teaches about the workplace and your role as follower of Jesus in it.

The workshops will be interactive in nature and will enable you to take practical steps in living out your faith at work. You are welcome to attend all or some of the workshops. For more information, please click here or see the brochure at Table on the Green.
