National Day

Thanksgiving Service

THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF CHURCHES of Singapore (NCCS) will celebrate this year’s National Day with a special service at St Andrew’s Cathedral on Aug 17.

The service will begin at 7.45 pm and the speaker will be Archbishop John Chew of the Anglican Church. He is the President of the NCCS.

Each year, the NCCS will hold a special service in August to mark the Republic’s National Day and to give thanks to God for His blessings of peace and prosperity.

The service is usually attended by leaders and members of the Christian community and Members of Parliament.

The service is led by bishops and heads of the major denominations in Singapore. The order of service comprises anthems of praise, a short sermon and prayers for government leaders, for the peace and stability of the nation.
