Full house church

ByVanessa Tan

St George's Easter Sunday 2007
In over a decade of worshipping at St George’s, I’ve never seen it so packed before. Some people were standing in the aisles and doorways until the children moved off to attend Sunday School.
Of course, the church tends to get more crowded during special occasions such as Christmas and Easter, but I was moved nonetheless. I’m actually sniffling as I type this.
I believe God has heard our prayers over the years and has blessed us gradually with all the things we need to run the church and draw newcomers and old members alike.
It has been a while, but you can feel things are moving in the right direction.
Happy Easter to all Christian readers!

    We’ve been waiting for over a year for a new, full-time Vicar. The day was today. I was glad to see Rev Philip Sinden in person, because he wasn’t the big burly Australian I imagined him to be, but tall but slender with a most humble demeanor. Even without knowing him, a strong feeling welled…

    Got back from Kevin’s talk, had dinner and started working on the new church website while listening/watching some “TV” on Joost. A few weeks ago, and up to a couple days ago, I was quietly freaking out about configuring Joomla 1.5’s default template designs. Yes, the default templates are standards compliant, which is good. However,…

  • The Passion reviewed

    ByVanessa Tan

    I just watched The Passion. I felt detached from most of the movie, probably because people had been prepping me to expect much blood and violence. Also, the knowledge that there was a Resurrection at the end, filled me with hope, not desolation. I did not cry or run out of the theatre, nor get…

  1. You know, your post has inspired me to blog about a recent visit to Faith Community Baptist Church which my brother brought me to. Other than the spiritual lessons, I was totally awed by the experience of being close to God. Of course, everything was also very well choreographed and put together.
