Posting some highlights from last week’s intergenerational service that I asked the team to put together for me; I didn’t manage to personally capture all the moments that touched my heart. May Trinity continue to raise impactful generations of spiritual and biological families growing, discipled, serving and building lives together!

I echo the same sentiments as the last church camp: I wish every Trinitarian could be at camp, making the journey to behold the glory of the Lord together with the rest of us.

Nonetheless, it was wonderful to see and be among so many Trinitarians (including those from the overseas centers) come together, many serving to make this happen. We managed to take in more Trinitarians than in 2023, thanks to the camp committee’s recce efforts. We even had a children’s corner for parents with their toddlers and babies playing together. From the unique photobooths to the games, prizes and activities arranged, the organizing and bringing everything together - big shoutout to the camp champs working with the committee. Thank you for serving alongside the pastors and admin staff for four long but beautiful days.

We’ve encountered God, experienced life, and now we continue to impact our world with His Glory and manifest power at home, in schools, workplaces, our neighbourhoods, wherever we set foot.

Please pray that we will find a bigger venue to fit more of us in three years’ time! And save your june dates for next year’s life conference in Singapore!

Thanks be to God... 808 @ Macpherson is finally open! Good to see this joint initiative with MacPherson Constituency come to life to impact the community and vicinity of Macpherson. Today’s ceremony was graciously attended by our MP, staff members of MacPherson Constituency Office, donors who have given specifically to the 808 project, CCSS corporate partners who have given and/or done engagement with our CareKids programme and CCSS board members.
I am excited about what 808 can be now that we have officially opened these doors. Looking forward to the many powerful stories of impact made possible by the continued donations, sponsorships and partnerships from generous individuals and organizations. I pray every child and youth who step through these doors will find in 808 a place of belonging, healing and dreams. May they not just have dreams but be empowered to fulfill those dreams!

808 @ Macpherson is home to Care Community Services Society’s children community initiatives, such as the CAREtapult learning support
program, the d’klub mentoring program, as well as home to community youth up to 15 years in age.
Address: 808 Circuit Road, Singapore 379496

Congratulations to our pastoral staff on their graduation! 🎓 I am so proud of them.

This year is special, with 80 theology and counseling graduates since the inception of TCA college, our biggest number yet - the chapel was packed, bursting, a resounding atmosphere of support with cheers all round as the graduates took the stage.

At this year’s graduation ceremony, we acknowledged the retirement of Rev Sam Kuna, our longstanding Dean of the School of Counseling, also a pioneer of the counseling scene in Singapore. He set solid foundations for our School of Counseling to be where we are today. Thank you Sam.

With Sam’s retirement, we are pleased to announce that Lim Poh Cheng has taken over as the Dean of the School of Counseling. First an alumni, then a counselor, Poh Cheng became part of the faculty since 2023. She is also a pastor in Trinity Christian Centre.

When I was preparing for this weekend’s preach, I read abit more about the Mediterranean crimson worm (coccus ilicis), תּוֹלָע (tôlāʿ) in Hebrew, and the worm referenced in Psalm 22:6 “But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by everyone, despised by the people.” These worms were used as dye for the scarlet fabrics used in the tabernacle.

Apparently as the female crimson worm is ready to lay her eggs, she attaches herself to a wooden tree, forming a hard crimson shell that protect the larvae that hatch and feed on the living body of the mother worm for three days. Then the mother worm dies, her body excreting a crimson or scarlet dye that stains the wood and her baby worms, and her body then turns into a snow-white wax just like a patch of wool. The baby worms remain crimson-colored for their entire lives, thus called crimson worms.

Isaiah 1:18 “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.
The metaphor of this crimson worm shows us the beauty and reality of the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ: His blood that was shed as a sacrifice for us, enabling us to stand righteous before God, white as snow.”

I stand amazed and undone as I ponder on this symbolism this Resurrection Sunday. Grateful for God’s love, and still inspired to make my life count by loving souls relentlessly.
