Attending worship in Singapore

We are in Singapore from Nov 30 to Dec 6. While in Singapore, we attended the church service at the Harvest City Church on Sunday. The church has its service in Jurong West and Expo Hall. We attended the one in Jurong West, together with over 2500 brothers and sisters.

The Harvest City Church is the largest church in Singapore (2nd largest in Asia), which has more than 23,000 members and 600 cell groups. It is a charismatic, but I enjoy the service as I do in my more conservative traditional church in Ottawa. The worship is Rock & Roll and music is the loudest I ever observed. The Apostle's Creed was being recited after the singing.

The 55% of the attendees are under the age of 25. I am so amazed that these young people are so willing to serve God. Their welcome team are so well organized. There was one young brother named Junping who accompanied me to the auditorium and sit beside me to assist me (as a first time comer).

One thing impressed me the most is that these young people are bringing their own bibles to the church. When the pastor asked if they are bring their bible, everybody is holding up their bible and say yes. They are encouraged to read God's word and live it out. Another thing that impressed me the most is that everybody is writing notes as the pastor preach.

Apostle's Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth,and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell.The third day He arose again from the dead.He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church,the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.Amen.
