💪 Strengthened in Christ This year, we’ve been exploring what it means to be Strengthened in Christ. At camp, we’re zooming in on being Strengthened in Christ’s Community — because from the very beginning, God designed us to grow together, not alone. Our camp speaker is walking us through Paul’s emphasis on community — four core movements that show how the body of Christ grows stronger together. 📡 Join Us Live! If you’re not at camp, you can still be part of the moment. Tune in tomorrow to our Sunday service via livestream at 9:30 am and worship with us from wherever you are. Dr Lim Kar Yong will be speaking on how our behaviour and responses can reflect Christ’s love to others.
