The MCS story on DVD

MORE than 1,000 copies of a DVD highlighting the work and mission of The Methodist Church in Singapore (MCS) were given to guests and church members who turned up for the various programmes of the Aldersgate Convention 2005 at the end of last month.


They were the first to receive the DVD, entitled "The People Called Methodists". More copies will be given to churches, Methodist agencies and schools in the coming days.

The DVD was produced by The Bishop's Office to commemorate the 120th Anniversary celebrations of the MCS. It was one of the four major celebratory projects, the other three being the publication of a "Faith-Sharing New Testament with the Psalms" to be distributed towards the latter part of the year, the Methodist Heritage Tour, which is on-going throughout the year, and the just-completed Aldersgate Convention 2005.

The "People Called Methodists" celebrates the 120th year of the founding of the MCS in 1885 by telling its story and heritage through images, music and words in 20 minutes.
