Service a reminder of God's goodness

THE 75th Thanksgiving and Prayer Service of The Boys' Brigade (BB) in Singapore that took place at Toa Payoh Methodist Church on Jan 18, 2005 was a timely reminder of God's goodness and blessings for all involved in the uniformed youth organisation.


The purpose of holding the service and the Jubilee week of prayer as a whole is three-fold:


· Through prayer BB members seek to re-affirm the Brigade's Christian commitment and identity, reminding them to place God first in all their work;
· This is also a time to give thanks for 75 years of successful ministry and ask God for His continued blessings on the BB, that it will grow in strength and quality;
· Finally, it is to engage the BB's most important sponsors and stakeholders, the Church (also its ministry partner and beneficiary), as the BB ministry forges ahead to new heights of achievements.


Bishop Dr Robert Solomon of The Methodist Church in Singapore, who is the Honorary Vice-President (Clerical) of the BB, gave the sermon entitled "Roadmaps to Paradise". He urged the BB to continue to do its good work and to spread its influence.


Earlier, Mr Liau Nyuk Siong, Scriptures Secretary of The Gideons International, presented Bibles to the BB. Mr Liau is a former President and now an Honorary Vice-President of the Brigade.
