We had a wonderful time at the monthly SAC@Prayer gathering last Friday. The next one falls on 26th February Friday at 7.14 pm. We continue to pray for revival and a new work of God for SAC and the City. I can think of no better place to do this than the Nave. Do plan ahead to be there. It is a discipline and commitment which I believe will bear fruit in season. Leaders who serve together need to pray together. It is both a mark and catalyst of community. Cells and other gatherings will need to plan ahead so that there is no clash and together, we can give this priority.
We are also excited about the possibilities of new Cell groups forming during this season. We are broadening its definition so that more can participate. As long as the leader is appointed by the Church and the material is approved (for mutual accountability), it is a “Cell.” It can meet over a quick lunch during weekdays. Or in the evenings. Weekday or weekend, it will be great to see the Cathedral community meeting and relating in small groups. As our urban churches grow larger, small groups are the only way for the church to remain small.
If you have not already noticed, the 7.30 pm Sunday Service has dropped it’s previous title “New Life Service.” There is a small and committed community in this Service, pastored by Revd Timothy Chow, which gives a lot of time and space for free worship and prayer ministry. The preachers, whether from SAC or elsewhere can minister in this direction. Do drop in and yes, bring a friend.
The Finance and Property Committee (FPC) is looking to renovating the West House, adding rain and heat shelters outside the Prayer Halls area (amphitheatre) and the patio next to the Welcome Centre by erecting awnings. These steps should enable better use of these spaces.
We are also looking at setting up a Cafe to serve our large SAC community. We have a small group looking into this but we are looking for baristas who are willing to helm it. If good coffee, tea and other drinks can be served at the Welcome Centre, it will make a lot of difference to the way our community interact, apart from meeting needs for a good cuppa. Do contact my PA, Jowenna at jowenna@cathedral.org.sg if you can help in some way.
