St James’ Church Singapore

Our vision for SJC is to be a Crossroads Church of Spirit-empowered disciples; may the Gospel be sounded out as we bring all things under the rule and Lordship of Jesus.

Let us go beyond the prayers we have offered to God over the weeks and remember these our brethren who are suffering and bring them hope to know they are not forgotten as disaster after disaster strikes this nation.

Whether you are considering presenting your child for baptism or were baptized as a child and not yet confirmed, may God lead you to make a decision to be baptised / confirmed as you receive His grace given freely.

This is the sole reason why we jumped on the opportunity to host this course in SJC as a way of celebrating our 40th anniversary

Get hold of your LoveSingapore’s 40 Day fast & prayer guide today if you have not done so. Let us join Singapore to pray for our beloved nation even as we see a thickening darkness swirling and enveloping the world.

To prepare ourselves to receive all that God wants to bless us with, may I encourage you to do some advance reading in preparation, personal study and listening to God’s Holy Spirit.

Thank God for a very joyous culmination to REJOICE as we REMEMBER God’s faithfulness at the SJC40 celebration service cum dinner at the Singapore EXPO on 30th Apr 2017.

2017 marks 40 years of the life of SJC; it is indeed an exciting year as we end one generation and move into another.

May God help us celebrate with all our might in His grace and goodness; until we and the whole world are found in Christ and transformed be like Jesus, to the glory of God! We will end 2017 with thanksgiving as a parish that by grace we have grown and continue to do so till Jesus comes back again.

Finally, let us thank God for a wonderful opportunity to grow in love for the brethren.

“The time is now’ for us to remember, rejoice and respond to God as we are changed from one degree of glory to another daily.”
That was the ending sentence to my last Vicar’s write in May 2016, looking forward to SJC40!

“The time is now” for us to remember, rejoice and respond to God as we are changed from one degree of glory to another daily.

LOVE is the defining mark of a disciple and there are many practical opportunities to practice this even as God blesses St James’ Church.

It has been just over a month into 2016 and we have gotten off to a busy start with the solar and lunar years so close to each other. In God’s grace,

The ONE thing is clear for us; all we do in church is focused on discipleship and I thank God that He is ever patient with us as we continue to map this out for St James’.

As we closed the retreat, we recognized that each of us was called by God at different times and in different ways. But one thing remains – we are all called to be part of the SJC Staff Team to minister, glorifying God in the different areas where He has placed us.

2016 may be very challenging; but let us cling to God and His revealed word. The Bible is eternal and every word of the sovereign God will come to pass. We read the newspapers to pray but let us read the Word of God to shape and transform our mind.

Attending seminars like this is not about trying to copy yet another programme. It is about us pastors seeking God for His will and obeying Him in our own vineyard.
