A Blast from the Past
We are expecting over a hundred participants at this Tuesday’s Pioneers Dinner Event. Roughly a third are currently worshipping at MPCC. Gark Teck has brought his roaster to church, and we will be roasting chicken and char siew the traditional way. I thought it would be fun to cook food from the 70s or 80s—and I suppose these roast meats qualify nicely. We can also expect a faith-inspiring programme in the Sanctuary: worship, testimonies, sharing, and prayer. As with all reun

Lead me to the Rock
“Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”— Psalms 61:2 This line from the Psalm spoke to me at a critical moment in my ministry, when I was in my forties. I was younger then—full of energy, ideas, and optimism. The parish I was pastoring felt alive with possibility. I was also deeply involved in the early, exciting work of Alpha, which was beginning to make a real impact in Singapore and the surrounding region. I felt, perhaps without realising it, that I was at the centre

Stability and the Past
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses…” Heb 12:1 I trust that many of you have been following the Praydos weekday devotions and have been blessed by them. Do feel free to go back to relisten or reread any devotion that has been meaningful to you, or to catch up on days you may have missed. These devotions may also be helpful resources for sharing in smaller group settings. There are some who already use other devotional materials for their daily

In and Around
We are barely into a new year and adjusting to one new Service at 10 am. As new habits are still being formed, it is good to renew again our approach to our Sunday Services and the many ministry opportunities it brings. Do note that our “café” is open by 9 am and there are light breakfast options if you want to come earlier or inviting a friend to the Service. Do also note the shuttle bus Services timings as it can facilitate guest visitors. Post Service brunch refreshments c

Reunions
Reunions can be a mixed experience. When your “Class of 92” gathers, those with stable careers and families usually feel confident about meeting up. However, if you are out of a job, or have just suffered a stroke (and offer a limping hand for a handshake), a class reunion may feel far less enjoyable. And if your spouse has changed, there can be awkward moments when old classmates ask about your former sweetheart. So you may decide not to turn up at all. This describes quite

Thanksgiving for the MPCC family
“We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you in our prayers.” ~ 1 Thessalonians 1:2 As I reflect on MPCC in 2025, I realise there is a long list of people we should be thanking. As always, doing so runs the risk of leaving someone out. So if your name is not mentioned specifically, please know that you are deeply appreciated. First, we give thanks for every member of our staff for their wholehearted service. Eliza and Emily keep our communications a

Transition To A New Sunday Rhythm
Here we are at our final 9.00 am Service, which has been part of our church life for nearly 50 years. We also bid farewell to our 11.30 am Service. These are significant moments, and we give thanks for all that God has done through these services over the decades. From here on, the shape of our Sundays will change. Some will come earlier and spend time in the Community Hall over coffee. This is a good way to welcome and orientate guests, offering them a gentle pre-Service exp

The Season Of Advent
The Bible is about the love of God the Father for His people. It is a story filled with expectation, longing and fulfilment. From the beginning, God has lovingly walked with us, called to us, searched for us even when we turned from Him over and over again. Throughout the Old Testament, God repeatedly calls his people back to himself. He sends the prophets to call His people back and with the call to return comes a promise, a promise of hope, a promise of redemption, a promis
