Today’s theme is Remembering our blessing and God’s faithfulness:

What is the significance of celebrating Singapore’s 60th year of Independence as well as Novena Church’s 75th anniversary?

Those early days marked times of uncertainty and anxiety, and milestone anniversaries are days to remember and acknowledge that what we have received as a church and nation are blessings from God and how God has been faithful to us. When we remember that, we are able to share these blessings with others.

Secondly, we are called to remind society that the blessings that we have received are blessings to be shared, with our society and with the world that is vulnerable and the least. It is our mission to share God’s plentiful redemption with others- our mission as church and nation.
