English Service Weekly Bulletin 11th January 2026
Welcome to ECF Holy Word Church! As 2025 draws to a close, we pause to reflect on God’s grace and faithfulness throughout the year. God has come near, breaking down the barriers between Himself and humanity, and between one another, bringing restoration and renewal to broken relationships. Our theme this next year will still be “Break Walls, Build Bridges,” as we celebrate Christ’s love that reconnects hearts and builds unity. Whether you are visiting for the first time or have been part of our church family for many years, we warmly welcome you to gather with us as the year ends and to receive the joy and hope found in Him.
