WSCS to celebrate World Federation Day

THE GENERAL CONFERENCE WOMEN’S SOCIETY OF CHRISTIAN SERVICE (GC WSCS) is inviting all women to take part in a celebration to mark World Federation Day at Sophia Blackmore Hall, Level 6, Methodist Centre, on Nov 6 from 2.30 to 4.30 pm.

GC WSCS is affiliated to the World Federation of Methodist and Uniting Church Women, and the focus of this year’s celebration is on the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goal #7 – Ensure Environmental Sustainability.  

There will be a message by Mrs Malar Solomon, wife of Bishop Dr Robert Solomon, and a slide presentation on “Ensuring Environmental Sustainability”.  Also to be featured in this celebration, in line with the focus, will be Market Place, which will have food and non-food items on sale, with all proceeds to be channelled to missions.

Come and find out how relevant environmental sustainability is to the people in Singapore, and what your personal responsibilities are towards this environmental push.

The recent weather chaos has left a trail of devastation.  Thousands of people have lost their lives, millions have been left homeless and livestock and hectares of crops have been destroyed. From the blistering heat in Russia to killer floods in Asia, this climatic havoc is a result of climate change that is causing great concern.

Climate change is believed to have altered global temperatures significantly. This has resulted in more frequent extreme weather patterns with greater intensity, more hurricanes and drought, and water scarcity. It is also predicted that climate change will greatly impact the Earth’s ecosystems leading to biodiversity loss.

“The Earth is the Lord’s and everything in it” (1 Corinthians 10:26). God created everything and provided us with all the resources that we need.

As Christians, we are called to be good stewards of His creation. How then can we be more environmental friendly to protect the Earth? How can we use responsibly the resources that God has given us without jeopardising the resources of tomorrow?
