Things that happened in the past day

The Catholic Church, and the rest of the world, lost a great leader today. I think the Pope did the best he could in a world of turmoil, as a faithful servant of Christ. Now we have to wait and see who the new Pope will be.
My Vicar announced he is stepping down from our church. Came as a slight surprise to me. We too are waiting to see who the new Vicar will be.
And I’ve officially left my Bible Study group. I think I’ll take a break from any sort of bible study gatherings for a while. Anyway I’m busy three days a week with Alpha. I had great memories of my first Alpha and I hope this time will be as good – no judgments made, everybody welcome, no pressure, we’ll try our best to answer your questions but ultimately, it’s entirely up to you.

    I have come to a realisation. Through God’s grace over the years, my work has been featured in the press. That has in turn made it easier to gain support for subsequent new media projects. In a very small way, I hope that will lead to a ripple effect as we all endeavour to open…

  • Baptism anniversary

    ByVanessa Tan

    I just realised today’s 6 April. I was [baptised](http://vantan.org/archives/2003/04/my_baptism.php) 5 years ago, to this day. And it’s also a Sunday today! Baptism is the outward sign by which I show my commitment to Christ. However it is what’s inside that is more important – not how many ceremonies you’ve gone through. My journey so far…
