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!

Thank God for the Dedication Service last Sunday. It is heartwarming to see practically the whole church being involved in one or more ministries. God has given each of us different gifts and talents for the purpose of building the church, which is the body of Christ. God requires our...
