4th SUNDAY IN EASTERTIDE

The 2nd offerings taken by the local churches in May will go towards designated projects of the Local WSCS, Conference WSCS and General Conference WSCS to bless the poor and the 2020 PROJECTS 

• MWS Donate to Bless – 1,000 families impacted by COVID-19
  The COVID-19 situation that we are currently in has resulted in extreme anxiety in the community. For the disadvantaged and vulnerable, the anxiety they feel is even greater. Distressed and low-income families may be facing more hardship when they earn less during this time or when they lose their livelihoods. Having little to no savings will likely cause them to experience more stress and go into debt. Methodist Welfare Services aims to raise S$1.35m to provide financial assistance to 1,000 low-income families for one year. These funds will support them in meeting their basic needs, and having the resources to better prepare for and handle the direct impact brought about by COVID-19 on their lives.

•  EAGLES MEDIATION & COUNSELLING CENTRE (EMCC)
  Since their establishment in 1997, EMCC has endeavored to bring hope to broken relationships. They believe that the Singaporean society at large benefits from the development of strong marriages and healthy families. As a Christian faith-motivated social service that serves the community and churches equally, they are the face and hands of the church to a world of hurting individuals and families. EMCC is a full member of the National Council of Social Service (NCSS) and an approved Institution of Public Character (IPC).  Our funding will be designated towards the counselling or mediation fees for those who cannot afford.

  PFS is an inter-denominational para-church organization that reaches out to prisoners, ex-offenders and their families.

PFS’ vision is to see a Christian community that embraces these prisoners, ex-offender and their families with the love of God and His power to transform. Supported by a team of full-time staff, it provides pre-sentence care, in-care, after care and family care. The programmes are supported by volunteers and donors. Internationally, PFS is one of over 125 affiliated members of Prison Fellowship International (PFI). Our funding will be designated for the Aftercare Programme for one woman ex-offender.
