When each heart comes alive in prayer, Singapore will soon be saturated with Houses of Prayer Everywhere!

6 ANNOUNCEMENTS NAME CHANGE TO BETHESDA CARE SERVICES Since our inception in 1996, Bethesda Care and Counselling Services Centre (BCCSC) has come a long way. With changing national social trends and consequently the social service sector, we have evolved and grown to stay relevant to the needs of the community. As a reflection of our evolution to where we are today, we will hence forth be known as Bethesda Care Services (BCS). This new name epitomises our single minded focus to go beyond simply just providing a service, but to care for all that we are serving. Donations and cheques can now be made out to Bethesda Care Services. In alignment with the name change, we will also be launching a new logo and a new website to reflect our relevance as a modern social service organisation. Stay tuned for more details. Having mentioned all these changes, one thing remains the same. Our commitment to care for the community, to reach out and touch lives. We look forward to your partnership as we continue on this journey together. ROAD SAFETY: STAY SAFE, BE GRACIOUS We would like to remind BBTCians to observe road safety and graciousness both as drivers or pedestrians, to maintain a good witness as Christians within the community. Please avoid jaywalking or making illegal U-turns. Also, try not to alight along the main road. PRIORITY ON BBTC LIFTS We would like to remind BBTCians attending Services that priority in using the lifts should be given to parents with prams and young children, the elderly, and those with physical disabilities. For the able-bodied among us, kindly avoid using the lift and use the stairs. If you are already in the lift and someone in greater need approaches, please vacate your space on the lift. We thank you for your kind cooperation. 6
