Dear Carmelites,
Thank God for His sovereign grace and mercy in protecting Singapore & the provision of vaccines, test kits, and the safety measures in many places.

In view of the rising number of COVID cases in the community, let us do our part to protect family, friends & our faith community.

1. If you receive notification from MOH about contact with COVID cases, get necessary medical attention immediately or rest at home and join us for online worship instead.
2. For the Eventbrite registration, please register the names of each person coming for the service/event to facilitate contact tracing should the need arise.
3. A gentle reminder to avoid mingling across zones and to leave Clementi Bible Centre quickly after the service.

Let’s daily look to God for His goodness, grace and mercies and give thanks!

Prayer Watch: Blessing Our Children

The next half of this year is critical and crucial for the well-being of our children who will be sitting for their Year end and National Exams. The goal of this prayer watch is to pray for our children to receive God’s abundant life and for His divine protection over their lives that they be kept safe from harm and mental distress. The natural routine and rhyme of school, home, church and extra activities, which COVID-19 disrupted, had yielded a deep unsettling, uncertain feeling to many of us. In the news, mental health concerns and suicide has been on a rise. Suicide is the leading cause of death for those aged 10-29* With increasing concern amongst our young, there is a need to be on our knees.

*There are 3 times more deaths from suicide than transport accidents in 2019; 400 lives were lost to suicide in 2019; Males account for more than 66% of all suicides in 2019. Source: www.sos.org.sg

This is a DAILY Whatsapp group praying digitally only. To be included in this prayer watch, register here!
