Bulletin Announcements – 23 October 2016

Announcements from the Diaconate:

–   At the first meeting of the new Diaconate term on 14 October, the office bearers were elected. There was difficulty finding a suitable deacon to be Treasurer of the church. In view of this, Dr Joseph Chan willingly vacated his position as deacon in order to coopt a suitable person to be Treasurer. In accordance with the church’s constitution, the Diaconate resolved to coopt William Sit as a deacon, and was elected to the role of Treasurer. We are thankful to God for Dr Chan’s 21 years of faithful service as deacon. The office-bearers elected for this Diaconate term are: Desmond Chu (Chairman), Richard Chiu (Vice-Chairman), Kris Tan (Secretary), Anthony Choong (Assistant Secretary), William Sit (Treasurer), and Harry Law (Assistant Treasurer). We commend the entire Diaconate of deacons and ministers to the Lord in their oversight of the church.

–   Following review and appraisal, the Diaconate has also renewed the contracts of Rev Chadd Hafer (3/2/17-2/2/20) and Pastor Andrew Bardsley (27/1/17-26/1/20) for three years respectively. We thank God for their ministries, and also commend them and their ministries to the Lord.
