THE SPIRIT IN THE GOSPEL: JESUS AND THE SPIRIT, ORALLY SPEAKING (Closing Date: 13 Mar)
The story of Jesus Christ has enormous impact upon the earliest Christians. It had become a narrative of self-identity among many other storytelling. It is important to understand how this story has been retold by the earliest Christians with unity and vibrant variations, even as the Spirit as a topic has been through versions of telling.
Join us to understand how the story of the Holy Spirit in the oral telling of the earliest church could help us to live in this changing world, the crucible of our current world journey. Come and learn about the Holy Spirit with Dr Yee Tet-Lim as we continue to grow deeper in the Spirit.
Topics include:
1. Spirit-and-Fire Baptism and its aftermath in the Gospel of Mark
2. Churchianity, the Spirit and the Kingdom of God
3. Herbs/Drugs, (De)toxication, and "Exorcism" in Contemporary Christian Practice of Everyday Life.
Date: 19 March 2022
Time: 10am – 12noon
Venue: ZOOM
Speaker: Dr Yee tet-Lim

THE CHRISTIAN CALENDAR - EPIPHANY
Have you ever wondered why the pulpit cloth changes colours and has different symbols on it each time it is changed? Do the words “Advent”, “Epiphany” and “Kingdomtime” mean anything to you?
The Liturgical or Church Year is broken into seasons, starting from Advent and ending with Kingdomtide. It is a traditional way to remember and observe the various aspects of the life of Christ and His Church that has been used since the early days of Christianity. Each season has its own colour and symbols that serve as visual mnemonics.
The season of Epiphany in the Church Calendar follows after Christmastide. Epiphany, meaning “revelation” or “manifested”, refers to the revelation of the Christ to the Gentiles as symbolised by the Magi, and, therefore, to all the peoples of the Earth. Epiphany focuses on Jesus’ early life, His baptism, and the wedding feast at Cana. The themes are on renewal and missions. The season’s colour is green, the symbol of growth, spring and new life. Epiphany is from 6 January to Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of Lent.
