Pastoral Letters are weekly communications from our church pastor to the congregation.

When our good friend’s or loved one’s birthday arrives, we will try our best to celebrate this special day with them. Be it a greeting via phone, a gift or a sumptuous meal, all these are signs of our concern and affection for him. Last Lord’s Day was the church’s...
