Children's Ministry

Children's Sunday school teaching is available (for non-Awana kids from Preschool to grade 8) during the 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. period. The biblical content for this timeslot is different from the English Children Church teaching. There will be three classes available (please follow the signage posted (2nd floor) for the grade level and classroom).

Preschool to Grade 8 children can join us for in-person worship every Sunday at 9:30 a.m. There will be no need for pre-registration. Parents can proceed to the second floor reception area to check-in and pick-up their children before (9:30 a.m.) and after (11:00 a.m.) the English Service.


The nursery is available during our English service for new parents and infants to use on a self-serve basis, but are more than welcome to join us in the sanctuary as well.  

 

If you have children (2 to 3 years old), they are welcome to join the Children’s Ministry pre-school class. If you are interested in being a part of the preschool teaching staff, please contact Pastor Wesley Lim.

1. Field Visitation Trips in May

Please pray for the field visitation teams leaving to Southeast Asia, Brazil, and Germany in May. May the Lord of the Harvest protect them and fill them with joy by bringing good news to all nations. Pray that the seed of the kingdom will fall on good soil and produce a plentiful crop.


2. Rev. Henry Lu (COCM)

Rev. Lu praises the Lord for His teaching on humility and the unity of the team. He is busy planning the upcoming Cantonese and Mandarin summer camps for Chinese immigrant families in the UK and Europe. The purpose of these camps is to enrich their understanding of the biblical truths, encourage and equip them to experience the power of the gospel, inspire them to live out the hope of the gospel and enable them to share the beauty of the gospel in all aspects of their daily life. Please pray for Rev. Lu and his team, may they be filled with strength and wisdom, and pray that their ministry bears more fruits.
