Lenten & Easter Pastoral Letter
Read the letter in Mandarin | Read the letter in Tamil
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Jesus said, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?
– Mark 8 : 34 – 36
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour.
In line with our church’s theme for this year, “Build Up, Together!”, the seasons of Lent and Easter remind us to together, build up on Christ our cornerstone (Ephesians 2 : 19 – 22).
Lent and Easter in the Christian calendar is a time in the year when we especially remember the death and resurrection of Jesus and his call to us and all in the world to trust and follow him. We remember the extent of God’s great love and grace toward us for which he sent his Son, Jesus the Christ, to be the atonement for our sins. But Jesus’ death and resurrection saves us from our sins not only in atoning for our sins, but also in revealing and empowering us to the way of life that is truly freed from sin. It is the way of absolute faith in God, of unwavering obedience to God, and of perfect love for God. It calls us to die to ourselves that we may live as true selves made in the image of God loved by God. The season of Lent is a season of fasting and prayer – a way of life, following Jesus in denying ourselves for the sake of God and taking up our crosses to walk in his way of sacrificial love for others. Fasting and prayer are means of grace that God has given to us to build us up spiritually in his likeness.
Lenten Fast & Pray
This Lent (5 March to 17 April 2025), let us fast and pray together as a church. In this season, let us fast from food, or a non-essential that we regularly spend our time and money.
And let’s spend the time that would have been used for that meal, or making the purchase, to pray. As a church, let us gather to pray together at these times.
Wednesday Church Prayer Time, 8pm to 9.30pm
We encourage you to come earlier for a time of personal reflection starting from 7.30pm onwards.

And with the money saved from the meal or item fasted from, let us give together towards our church’s work of missions. You may give through your preferred way of giving, and indicate on the envelope (if giving in cash) or in the Reference field (if giving by electronic transfer), “Lent 2025”. All such proceeds collected from now till 30 April 2025 will be directed to our missions work including, but not limited to, financial support for our missionaries (presently 24 of them serving in seven different countries in Asia), and sponsorship of theological students preparing themselves for specialised ministries for the church universal. Such costs amount to about $700,000 a year, and the additional proceeds from your giving over Lent 2025 will help to supplement its funding.
Holy Week
In the last week of Lent leading to Easter, also called Holy Week, let us also gather to worship and follow our Lord together in these worship services and events, culminating in the celebration of Christ’s resurrection on Easter Sunday.

As we follow our Lord Jesus to the cross, may God strengthen us with power through his Spirit in our inner being, so that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith—that we, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that we may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. (Ephesians 3 : 16 – 21)
Building Up, Together in Christ,
