“But all of us are called to care for the vulnerable. You can volunteer on an ad-hoc basis or help with short-term respite care. As we know our adopted identity in Christ, it should spur us to adoption, fostering and other acts of mercy.” Click to read the full article: https://www.methodist.org.sg/methodist-message/foster-respite-care/

Journeying with the sick, the frail, and the abandoned has also taught Peter to count God’s blessings. “When I see the condition of the people I visit, I realise that not being able to see is actually a very small problem,” he said. “It has helped me become more grateful and to live a life of gratitude.” Click here for the full article: https://www.methodist.org.sg/methodist-message/being-blind-is-a-blessing/ By the Methodist Welfare Services Communications Team. / Photos courtesy of Methodist Welfare Services

Chloe Toh from Hakka Methodist Church shares here views this month, "Humans are sinful creatures, and bullies will always exist. Nevertheless, we can look to the Lord. It is better to leave justice to him than retaliate, and better to forgive than hold a grudge. Though the situation may not make sense now, we hold on to the promise that God uses all things for the good of those who love him, conforming us to the image of his Son (Romans 8:28–29)."

In a multiracial nation, religious harmony is not something we can take for granted. This February, Bishop Philip Lim reminds us, “As Methodists, we are uniquely positioned to contribute meaningfully to this shared national commitment. Our love for God must translate into active love for others and society. This is seen in 1 John 4:20a (NIV), ‘Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar.’” He further rallies us this month: “As we live out our calling, may our words and actions testify that loving our neighbours is not simply a Christian duty—it is a gift we offer to the nation we call home.” Read Bishop's full message here: https://www.methodist.org.sg/methodist-message/methodist-call-to-neighbourly-love/
