Christian Worldview Curriculum

Attention FMC family! Our preschool ministry is marking 60 years of ministry in 2025 and one year since we became a childcare (previously a kindergarten).

There are 2 key milestones in 2025:

5 Apr - Open House for parents of existing and prospective students. Church members are encouraged to come witness the ins and outs of the preschool ministry too.

27 Sep - Carnival in conjunction with the 60th anniversary celebration. Current students can bring a preschool friend.

Specifically for the Open House on April, you can contribute in the following manner:

1. Invite friends and family (with preschool age kids) to join us. Let's show our community what it means to be a part of our preschool and church family!

2. Commit to praying for our preschool and the families we serve

3. Sign up to help with the open house, classroom activities, or administrative tasks. Specifically, we need 2 for registration, 3 for ushers, 2 for refreshments.

4. Consider making a donation to cover the deficit of our preschool ministry.

Open House Details

Date: April 5th

Time: 9am to 12 noon

Location: FMC

For any queries, pls contact May - preschool.enquiry@foochowmc.org.sg Or any of the members of the preschool committee led by John Ang

Receipt Issuance

As part of the efforts to go Green, except for "Sunday offerings", e-receipts would be sent to your email or mobile phone registered with our church unless otherwise advised. No receipt would be issued for offerings indicated as "Sunday offerings" or collections that have no specific indication.

e-Receipts will be sent to you via the Church WhatsApp number. We assure members that such e-receipts are NOT sent as broadcast messages to the whole church.

Discussion Questions

1. Read John 13:1 – 5 and Luke 22:14 – 24. Using the two narratives please develop a step-bystep account of what happened around the table during the last supper. Imagine for a moment you were one of the disciples at the table (excluding Judas Iscariot) what would you have done and why.

2. Read John 13:8b – 10a and 17. What does it mean for us to belong to Christ? In Matthew 20:26a the Lord said, “But among you it will be different”. In what ways are we truly different from the world?

3. Read John 13:14 – 15. What did Jesus have in mind when He said, “you also should wash one another’s feet”? In today’s context what are some obstacles we face when we try to emulate the servanthood of Christ? In your experience, how do you overcome them?
