Dear family in Christ
A grateful word of thanks to many of you who had responded generously to the following Covid-19 appeals for help:
(1) Food delivery team to foreign worker dormitories, in partnership with Crisis Relief Alliance
(2) Contribution of 110 used phone chargers for infected foreign workers at Ng Teng Fong hospital
(3) Fund-raising collection for three groups of people:
a. Welfare and needy cases amongst our church members
b. Help for church members who lost their jobs or had their work income substantially reduced
c. Financial help and encouragement support for foreign workers
As at 23 April, we have raised a total of $10,000. Quite a number of us have given away the $600 Solidarity payment from the government and also members who gave out of your savings. This amount will be used for the three purposes listed in point 3. A small team of four PCC members, together with the Vicar, will be involved in the process to disburse the funds.
At PCC meeting on 21 April , the PCC made the decision to give $5,000 towards our Anglican diocese outreach project to foreign workers in three specific areas:
- Providing 2 months’ supply of multi-vitamins
- Providing 2 meals daily for 14 days for 1,000 workers
- Developing media content in 3 languages (Tamil, Mandarin, Bengali) for 6 months
Thank you for your generous and compassionate heart. You may continue your giving through our church internet-banking digital giving (pls indicate “Covid-19 help fund”).
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16
Love in Christ
