“Every life can be a testament to God’s faithfulness, and repurposed service can be a powerful blessing to others, showing them that a life with Christ is a journey of purpose from beginning to end.” This November, Bishop Philip Lim reminds us that every life can be a testament to God’s faithfulness, and that our purpose extends into every season of life. How can the Church continue to help seniors stay connected and growing in faith? Read more: https://www.methodist.org.sg/methodist-message/rest-renewal-and-repurposed-lives/

The November issue of Methodist Message is out! • Becoming a dementia-friendly church With an ageing society, it's timely that our churches start looking into helping those with dementia, and their caregivers. This article by Rev Leow Yoon Pin, Founder and Board Chairman of KIN, is an introduction to what churches can do to becoming a dementia-friendly church. • Partnering with World Vision to create better futures for children This World Children's Day, we feature two Methodists from Telok Ayer Chinese Methodist Church, Kah Seng and John, who share their personal journeys as World Vision donors. • Holy silence and the state of the soul The virtue of silence seems to have been cast aside by the contemporary Church.

Sometimes, walking with someone who is grieving isn’t about fixing their pain, but simply choosing to be present. Perhaps we just need to offer quiet companionship, hope, and comfort when their world feels dark. A gentle reminder shared by Renee Yeo, Sengkang Methodist Church.

The late Earnest Lau was an Associate Editor of Methodist Message and also the Archivist of The Methodist Church in Singapore. In the August 2009 issue of MM, he shared the account of Rev William Shellabear that was first published in July 1907 of Methodist Message. We highlight it here again for the third time! Rev W G Shellabear here recounts his amusing experiences on a visit to China more than a hundred years ago. It is a useful reminder that missionaries must be prepared, like those of old, to face all manner of inconveniences in the course of their duty. ~ Earnest Lau #MethodistMonday

This week on Methodist Monday, we draw from the words of Charles Wesley’s hymn, a prayer for true Christian fellowship. May we learn to carry one another’s burdens, strengthen each other in faith, and grow together in love that reflects Christ. #MethodistMonday

For some, the grief is immediate and intense. Others may grieve for weeks or months. It is also common for grief to return unexpectedly especially around anniversaries, holidays or significant milestones. There is no “right way” to grieve. Each person’s journey of grief is as unique as their relationship with whom or what they lost. Amidst it all, we have a God who understands. https://www.methodist.org.sg/methodist-message/dealing-with-grief-as-a-believer/

Psalm 34:18 says "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Remember, you're not alone. In our darkest hour, He comforts us with His presence and His promise.

Remembering Mrs Gnanamany Philip, a true exemplar of faith in action. Her life was service, her legacy is love. May her dedication to God inspire us to serve others with humility and love. 🕊 https://www.methodist.org.sg/methodist-message/a-life-of-service-a-tribute-ot-mrs-gnanamany-philip/

It’s not about how much we do for God, but how deeply we love Him. Let’s be reminded this week to give Him not just our actions — but our whole hearts. #MethodistMonday

A little goes a long way. Let’s be reminded to pray for our pastors, encourage them, and show them love in the little ways that matter most. Blessed Clergy Appreciation Day!
