CHURCH ELECTION
6 December 2009
Praise the Lord for the church
election last Sunday. Thank God for the unity of heart and mind
as brethren elected the new Session for term of office, 2010-12.
We are also grateful to Elder Vincent Lee of Shalom BPC who was
the Election Commissioner.
The following persons have been elected in the new Session:
- Rev Tan Eng Boo-Pastor of Eng/Mand
Service
- Elder Seah Soon Huat
- Deacon Chea Oei Kiang
- Deacon Hor Siew Weng
- Deacon John Tang
- Deacon
Victor Goh
Praise the Lord for these
people who have given their service to the Lord in the Session
for the next three years. Brethren, pray for the new Session.
We need much wisdom to do the work of the Lord. We need the Lord's
protection too, as we serve the Lord. The Devil will not be happy
and he will certainly not leave us alone. He will discourage the
Session members and will also cause trouble and disunity amongst
us. Pray for our family too, because he will go after them as
we serve the Lord.
The new Session will be dedicated on Christmas Day, 25 December
as we have a combined Eng/Mand Service.
The brethren who have been elected as deacons should be addressed
as "Deacon". They can be your personal friend and you
may be used to addressing them by their personal names, but on
official business please address them accordingly.
The Church Session is also the Session of both Eng/Mand Services.
We have Elder Soon Huat who has been appointed to chair the Mandarin
Service committee, which he has been doing for the last 10 years.
Thank God for the return of Dn John Tang and Dn Victor Goh to
the Session. They were in the Session some years ago. We certainly
hope to see new faces in the Session in three years time.
May you, as a congregation give your fullest support to Grace
Church and the leadership as we enter 2010.
