Dear church,


Greetings in the blessed name of Jesus!

On behalf of the Board Members and the entire leadership team, I would like to wish everyone a happy and blessed Christmas!

Christmas! WOW! What a wonderful season it is – a time that remind us that life is all about love and giving. Truly, what is the point of living if we cannot love and we don’t give! Life would be miserable if we cannot share our joy and achievement in life with people we love. And it would be even worse if we do not know how to give and who to give to. God proved that importance to us in that more than 2000 years ago, God showed His love to us by giving us His one and only Son, Jesus Christ. That one act of giving by God has transformed the face of this earth upside down! And the effect of it has lasted for more than 2000 years!

It is often said that love is not love till it is given away and we may be able to give without loving but we can never love without giving! The personification of love is expressed in our ability to share. So church, I want to take this opportunity to invite all of you to share your life, your love, your time and your energy by being a part of City Care! City Care is our church’s new initiative to encourage all our members to be involved in humanitarian work. The Bible makes it very clear that true religion is when one cares for widows and orphans and is not contaminated by the world. City Harvest, when we extend our arm to look after someone, when we take the time to care for somebody, even a task as simple as giving someone a drink, Jesus said we are doing it for Him. Church, doing humanitarian work is practically extending God’s love to the world we live in. We may not have much experience in doing this, but let us give of our best and shine for Jesus!

There will be booths outside the lobby this weekend so make sure you sign up!

Let’s build a city that cares!
