Bulletin Announcements – 30 June 2013
We welcome you to our service today. It is Missions month. It is also the last day of the financial year. What better day to stop and think about our financial planning for the year ahead and how we can glorify God with what He has given us? Our speaker today is Dr Desmond Chu, the Vice Chair of our Diaconate.
Today, we kick off the Faith Promise Giving for 2013/14 to financially provide for our missionaries. Please refer to the insert in the bulletin and prayerfully consider how you will partner with our missionaries serving in Australia and other parts of the world. The return slip of the Faith Promise Giving forms will be collected during the first 3 weeks of July. The Mission Booklets given out last Sun contains information about the Faith Promise Giving.
We must thank God for his abundant blessings to our church over the years. In view of the operating surpluses over the past few years, the Diaconate had made the decision on 14 June to pay off the outstanding mortgage loan on the property at 49A Boyle Street. The payment was transacted on 20 June and by paying off the loan, it will definitely help to reduce the pressure on the expenditure side of the upcoming budget. Let us offer our praises to God together for his marvellous deeds in our church and continue to encourage one another knowing how to support our church.
