2023 Ministry Report

1. The goals of the ministry group for the Year 2023

   • Mix young and old in the ushering team.

   • Choose friendly/naturally warm people to greet at the sanctuary entrance.

   • Foster spiritual growth through prayer, devotionals, and bible study within the team. Encourage members to deepen their relationship with God, by spending quality time with him in their personal worship which will in turn enrich the collective worship experience.

   • Create an environment where every member feels connected to the whole team. 

   • Identify potential leaders within the team and invest in their growth through mentorship and leadership training. 

2. The highlights of the activities for achieving the goals

   • Last year, we aimed to unite our entire worship team to foster better connections, and it's been a success. We gather once every two months. We've hosted "With All Our Hearts" worship nights at Pun's house multiple times now, and the feedback from the team has been very positive. These gatherings are opportunities for us to come together, share our favourite songs and Bible verses, and enjoy a meal as a worship team.

   • Include new Worship Team members during Sunday Worship (Ivan Tang, Kara Shen, Jonathan Koh, Joseph Zhuang)
