Self Denial Altar Service at Central Corps

My wife and I had the privilege of ministering at Central Corps. We were there on Sunday 1st November to conduct the Self Denial Altar Service.

The attendance was very good and the congregation very responsive. The whole Sunday School joined us in worship, so it was a Family Service. The YPSM Richard Chai and the teachers sat with the children who behaved very well. There was no running around or fidgeting, in fact they sat and participated in the whole service. Quite a number of parents of the children joined us in worship. Most of the children come from the neighbourhood, the rest were children of our own members. Central has a good Sunday School.

It was good to have the Youth participating in the worship team and the band and they all did well. You can tell they were very well prepared. And of course we were proud to see our own two grandchildren - David and Rachel taking such an active part in worship. In fact David read the Scriptures and Rachel played the piano for the song during the Self Denial offering. Both are undergraduates at the National University of Singapore. We thank God for their active involvement in The Salvation Army.

After the meeting Corps Sergeant Major Peter Tan and family hosted us to lunch at a Peranakan Restaurant. We had a great time of fellowship. We came home feeling good and thank God for another wonderful and blessed day at the Army.

It's always a joy to visit this Corps and we look forward to our next visit on 21st February 2010. Central Corps has a special place in our hearts.
