Preparing for the 5th September Dinner
Do note that the Service will start at 6 pm sharp. You will need to remind yourself and your friends to factor in the time to park your car, find the ballroom, table etc. It will be good to plan to reach Safra by latest 5.30 pm. As for attire, think about what you normally wear for Services on Sunday and then, bring it a notch up. There is no best dressed award for the evening but you won't want to look sloppy either. As always with dinner events like this, tabling can be a c

SG61
It is National Day today! What I am writing here will supplement my sermon, where I will lay out why it is important to pray for our government, regardless of what our political stance is. Recent concerns raised includes: Bridging the wealth inequality gap and cost of living concerns: This could be made worst by developments in Al.

50th Anniversary Dinner
Allow me to share more details about the coming Anniversary Dinner. All past Vicars and Priests in-Charge (Chinese) have been invited as “VIPs”. Not all can make it. Some will be feature in our history video and we will also be asking them to join the cake-cutting ceremony. We want to honour those who have served in MPCC in past seasons. Some other leaders and clergy who are friends of MPCC will be invited as well. Some parts of the event will be bi-lingual (English-Mandarin)

What’s in a Name?
Our name, Marine Parade Christian Centre, or MPCC for short, carries with it an important history. When HDB estates began to develop across Singapore, Canon James Wong initiated a church-planting vision to bring churches closer to the heartlands, where many future generations of Singaporeans would live. “Extension Centres” were established in various HDB estates as outreach arms of existing parishes, such as the Church of the Good Shepherd and the Chapel of the Resurrection

Fund Raising 2026
We are launching a special fund-raising project today in tandem with our 50th Anniversary Celebration. We want to be able to pay off our quota debt to the Diocese and to raise funds to ensure that we have a healthy 3 months surplus to support the regular operations and ministry in MPCC. What is this Diocesan Quota about? Every parish is expected to give about 10% of their income to support the work of our Diocese. The Diocesan ministry include support for our parish ministr

More UK Reflections
How can one understand centuries of Christian influence and culture in an old Christian country like England—in just one week? You can't. At best, one can tiptoe through history, stopping occasionally for a deeper dive.

At one end of the spectrum stands the simple parish church of St Mary's, Lutterworth. I
