CERC Anniversary

Last year CERC celebrated its 25th anniversary.  My husband and I joined in via Skype for a few minutes, as he had already accepted the call here.  This year we were able to be here to be a part of the 26th anniversary celebration, which was held between church services on Sunday, September 22.  (Thanks again to Daniel Tang for the pictures.  Maybe some of you will get a chance to meet him, as he and family are in Michigan for a visit right now!)

At this time one year ago, our family was singing Psalter #345 with many of you, in different churches and among friends, as a farewell song before moving here.  This year, our family sang Psalter #345 at CERC's anniversary--but we sang it in Chinese!  We also sang "Jesus Loves Me," or "ye su ai wo."

The other special number was an instrumental group that was put together for the anniversary celebration, playing "Be Thou My Vision."

Finally, in keeping with Singapore customs, there was a cake-cutting.  All the Session members participated in this.

This would be as good a time as any to introduce to you our Session (council) members.  

They are, from left to right, Deacons Lim Seow Thong and Tang Yoon Chuan, Elder 

Wee Gim Theng, Rev. Lanning, and Elders Leong Fai Chong, Felix Chan Chee Seng, 

Wong Chee Choong, and Lee Kong Wee.

We are thankful for God's guiding hand on CERC through the first 26 years of its existence, and pray that He will continue to gather and bless His Church here.
