ANNIVERSARY WISHES
Salt & Light As we celebrate our 52nd birthday as a Church, we reflect on the countless blessings that God has showered on Faith in these past years. From our humble beginnings in a shed, to our current building where we can worship in air-conditioned comfort, with great audio-visual systems, comfortable seats and meeting facilities, and have a weekly worship attendance of approximately 2,300 – we do have lots to give thanks to God for His blessings and providence. I grew up in the Tanglin Halt area and used to hear the rumbling of trains passing by a few times a day. Now the railway has gone silent and some 10-storey flats have also been demolished. In their place, new 40-storey flats have been built. In yet another few years, more 10-storey flats will be gone, only to be replaced by more new 40-storey flats. Unlike the railway track that has gone silent, these new 40-storey flats will bring a bustling new community of people to the Tanglin Halt-Commonwealth area. God has again provided for Faith by “restocking our pool with new fishes”. It is our prayer as pastors and leaders, that as we pursue holiness, we remember to stay relevant and be effective in our efforts to be the salt and light to this new community. It is exciting! We, as a community of God’s people, must press on and be ready to embark on this adventure. So are you ready to go fishing? Lee Gee Aik Chairperson (Local Conference Executive Committee)
