We welcomed 2025 with a social in April this year, welcoming Janelle Or onto the ladie’s fellowship committee. Janelle will be helping Hayley with ideas, organisation, and logistics of the fellowship – please pray that we’ll be able to continue fostering a fellowship and safe space for deeper relationships to grow together in our walks with God for the ladies of EM.  

This year’s EQUIP conference was held on Saturday 21 June and we had over 20 ladies attend together in Hall 2 from 10am – 3pm, praise God for such a great turn out and for the men who volunteered to pick up and deliver lunch so that the ladies could focus on the conference. This year’s conference was a continuation of Revelation from last year (chapter 6 – 22), titled “Safely Home”. We were reminded how we are to live in the world now, knowing the victory has been won – to live “alert, but not alarmed” – the world has many distractions nowadays, but we must continue praying and seeking Jesus in all that we do till the very day we are safely home with him. We continued our discussions at EQUIP PLUS on Sunday lunch after service – this is a new activity introduced this year – it was an encouraging time to discuss together deeper on what we learnt or any questions we had from EQUIP the previous day. It was also a chance for those who weren’t able to come to EQUIP to learn from other ladies who went.  

Prayer triplets/groups have also started again in 2025, with many ladies eager to remain in the similar groups as last year to continue developing the relationship and safe space to honestly share life’s ups and downs. Praise God for our second year of prayer groups! Please pray that EM ladies stay disciplined, prioritising meeting up with one another despite busy life and schedules – so that we may share and carry each other’s joys, sorrow, and burdens and continue sharpening one another.  

For the remaining of the year, we have some 2 socials and a workshop planned as we continue our series on “growing together”. 

At the beginning of this year, Men’s Ministry made several changes to its schedule and activities. The leadership team reflected on the activities of last year and identified areas for growth to ensure the men of our congregation are supported and have a place to build Christ-centered brotherhood. 

The key change this year has been a shift from multiple workshops and sessions to a greater focus on prayer triplets. Last year offered a valuable introduction to the ministry, with a variety of sessions and activities that drew many brothers to come, learn, and share their experiences. The leaders are deeply thankful for everyone who participated. 

As the Ministry enters its second year, we recognised that last year’s pace was not sustainable. This was both in terms of leader capacity and the number of other church groups and events. By reducing the number of larger gatherings, the leaders thought to create space for men to invest in smaller yet deeper relationships through prayer triplets. 

Prayer triplets began close to the middle of this year. These small groups of three aim to provide a comfortable and trusted setting for men to share openly, encourage one another, and pray together. We pray that these gatherings will be fruitful, drawing the men closer to each other and to God. 

Thank you for your continued support and prayers for this ministry. 

In Christ, 

Chris and Daniel 

Matt Lo 

At the leadership level, we began the year by orienting our purpose on what God’s word says about the purpose of ministry. In Colossians 1:28, Paul says his ministry is all about proclaiming the riches of Jesus Christ – he teaches everyone the truths of the gospel so that they may grow to maturity in Him. 

Our vision is for growth groups to be built in such a way that people are taught and discipled into maturity in Christ. The strategy is for our communities to be centred around God’s word so that by studying it and applying it to our lives together, members would be grown as disciple-making disciples. To that end, we sought to teach our members the truths of God by studying the riches in the book of Ezra. Rich in symbolism and references to Israel’s history, we were challenged in our understanding of biblical theology, in reading in context and in distilling robust main ideas. God’s word can be challenging but is always good. 

At the end of Ezra, we are posed with a problem – the re-building of the temple does not solve the deeper heart issue of Israel – the peoples’ recurring rebellion against their God, their guilt before his righteousness.  

In the gospels we meet Jesus – God’s promised Messiah who becomes sin for us, so that his righteousness is imputed to us. For the second half of the year, our groups will be studying God’s work in the expansion of this gospel news in the book of Acts. Pray for us as we take seriously our call to be witnesses of the resurrected Christ. 

Thanks
