Pastoral Letters are weekly communications from our church pastor to the congregation. They are mostly original reflections on the Word of God in response to church events or current affairs, local or beyond, with the primary intent to exhort Christians to live rightly before God in the real world. Short bibliographies are sometimes featured towards the same end.
We pray that these writings will be a great blessing to you!

Just when we decide to return to church premises for worship on a long term basis, the government issues a last minute directive (on Tue, 20 Jul) that basically U-turned the nation and our plans. This is understandable in view of the sudden big increase in Covid-19 infection. As a...
Read below to learn about prayer from some great men and women of God. Prayer lays hold of God’s plan and becomes the link between his will and its accomplishment on earth. Amazing things happen, and we are given the privilege of being the channels of the Holy Spirit’s prayer....
