FAMILY COMMUNION
OVERFLOWING FROM ON-SITE TO ONLINE B Y E D M U ND T A N G H IM MEN G
UTILIZING EVERY NOOK AND CORNER OF TRINITY@PAYA LEBAR, FAMILY COMMUNION DREW HUNDREDS OF INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES SEEKING TO PARTAKE OF HOLY COMMUNION AND REMEMBER CHRIST'S FAITHFULNESS.
The year-end Family Communion is a much-cherished tradition in our church. It’s a reflective time where families – both biological and spiritual – gather to thank God for His goodness over the year and prepare ourselves to cross over into the new year. On-site partaking of communion was not permitted in 2020 due to the pandemic; thus we are even more thankful for the green light to resume in 2021, albeit with safe distancing measures. Held on December 26 and 31, I found the on-site atmosphere nostalgically familiar. Yet there were distinct differences brought about by the safe-distancing measures – adherence to time slots booked, minimized waiting, many decentralized sites within the church compound for communion proper, and less groups (and people) at each site. Words can never adequately describe the on-site vibe; hence we will visually present the highlights of those two days.
