Easter

Christ the Lord is risen today! Hallelujah! We were about to begin our sunrise service in the open air space facing the main road, but it started to drizzle and for the first time since the Corps opened, we had to change the venue for our service. We moved to the front porch which is under cover. Anyway we had a very good crowd who attended this service. The band accompanied the singing of Easter songs. the rain could not dampen the enthusiasm of our people who had gathered to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We moved to the social hall for our breakfast and fellowship. We were spoilt for choice - Chinese food, salmon porridge and meat dumplings; Indian food of chapati; local Singapore nasi lemak with ikan bilis and peanuts, friend egg etc and western food of bread, butter,corn flakes, sausages, bacon and ham. Thank God for the cooks who must have spent the whole Saturday night preparing such delicacies.

At 10.00 a.m. we had our Easter Celebration of Worship. The hall was full. Immediately after the last song "Thine is the glory" was sung and the benediction pronounced, we got into the hired bus and the whole congregation moved to Bukit Panjang Family Centre at Fajar Road for the dedication of the centre. This centre has been in existence for 20 years and from 1st April, it will come unto the supervision of the Corps. This gives the corps the opportunity to reach out to the community.

After the dedication of the centre, we returned to our corps for lunch and more fellowship. It was a glorious Easter day and we thank and praise God for His manifold blessings. To God be the glory!
