Agape lunch fellowship
Feasting with Gospel Love & Truths
A monthly lunch gathering started by the Mona Chia’s Homemakers DG to reach out to those who were stuck at home or recovering from illness.
There is no age limit for anyone to attend. Just be free on the third Thursday of each month.
Our history dates back to 2002 when our ministry began with a simple meetup for meals and prayers for a small group of seniors who were ill and had mobility issues and unable to attend church services or recovering patients or those who were waiting for job opportunities.
Fast forward to today, about 15 years later, the ministry has grown to become an oasis for anyone who wants to stop by to enjoy an afternoon of a meal, bible devotion or bible activity, shared testimony, prayers for one another and devotional songs. Outings have been organised to help keep up the sense of belonging and Christian camaraderie and will continue.
We follow a number of interesting themes each year, such as local festivals and customs and how they impact us as Christians. This year’s theme will be local flavours. We enjoy two excursions a year.
The leaders of this ministry are Mona Chia, Chin Siew Lay, Katherine Yip, Chow Kit Chin and Helen Ho.
Please join us if you are in a season of life where you desire fellowship and wish to encourage others.
St-Luke Eldercare (SLEC)-Adam Road Presbyterian Church partnership
This started in 2020 when Mona Chia was invited to be part of the Missional Committee of St-Luke Eldercare to oversee the pastoral direction of the organisation and build up church partnerships. We started by helping with activities for the active aging centre, then we worked with SLEC Bishan Day Centre, Block 136 for the past two years. Pastor Yak Cheow and Pastor Chuen give devotional talks, while ARPC members engage the elderly under the leadership of Dennis Tan. We have built up a pool of regular volunteers: Veronica Quek, Olivia Looi, Xiao Xiang, Nancy Tan, Janice Wong, Jenny Chua, Angie Toh and Yap Kai Inn. We work with the Centre Director, the Chaplain in charge and the helpful staff. It is not easy to make the monthly programme lively and understandable for the elderly, but we try! Do join us and bring joy to the elderly.
