Please pray for the preparations of our 70th Anniversary Celebrations happening in two months’ time. As planning moves into full gear, pray for wisdom and strength for all who are involved. May we not lose sight of the heart of this celebration, to remember God’s faithfulness and to envision the legacy we are called to carry forward.
Congregation prayer concerns：
Sister Toh Ah Eng’s surgery last Monday was very successful. We thank God that her recovery has been very smooth, and she was transferred to the community hospital on Thursday to receive physiotherapy. Please continue to remember her in your prayers!
Let us continue to keep Brother Tan Keng Khim, Sister Chen Yik Ying and Sister Chiu Fong Har in prayer.
