It’s been a blessed year for the Central Christian Church in 2007! As we reviewed the year gone by at our New Year’s Eve bash, it was amazing to see how God has blessed the church and given us great victories, both personally and as a congregation.
We are especially grateful to God for the 10% growth that the church has been experiencing in the past two years. As disciples, we are striving to live out our mission statement — We Gather Here To Know God and Make God Known — through our focus on God, Each Other and Mission.
It will be even more exciting in another two years’ time when we open our 5-year time capsule which we planted when our new church building was completed. For many of us, having these 5 year dreams has been a motivation to keep focused and to remember to praise God when our prayers are answered.
One exciting encouragement from God was given to us recently in the national newspaper, The Straits Times, as they ran a large article on HOPE worldwide (Singapore) and the strong volunteer support that HOPE ww (S) receives from the Central Christian Church. (see photo) Many years ago this same newspaper ran an article that was quite negative towards the church so it was especially gratifying to see them now run an article that was so positive to the church and its spirit of giving.
As Gal 6:9 states, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
