  6. Cantonese Lenten Bible Studies

    • The Cantonese ministry has prepared a Lenten Bible study series for our members. In concert with the 2021 theme for the church, the focus of the present series will be on “ Revive, Restore and Renew”

    • Starting on Ash Wednesday (Feb 17), the series will be published once every Sunday, for a total of 6 weeks ( up to Mar 21). For each week, there will be

    • (1) a Psalm – both sung (providing a link to the website) and written. It is encouraged that you read it as you listen, and while doing so, meditate on what the psalm is speaking to you.

    • (2) one or more Bible passages, selected by Rev. Maria Ling. It is hoped that you can read it through many times and please read it slowly. Please reflect on the relationship of the passage with the church and its 2021 theme.

    • (3) A short reflection, with a view to generate your interest to write down your thoughts during the Lenten studies. As a retreat is being planned for in April, your thoughts can be shared during the retreat then.

  7. English Faith Formation Ministry:

    • We invite everyone to participate in fun and meaningful activities at home during Lent. The resource material we have chosen is by Illustrated Ministry which consists of a series of weekly activities starting on Ash Wednesday until Easter. The theme for this Lenten season is Reflections on the Heart. Through exploring Gospel passages about treasures and matters of the heart, families will reflect on what kind of treasure matters to us, why we store treasures, and the power these treasures have in our lives. Each weekly session will have a scripture, reflection, discussion questions, activity, colouring page, and prayer.

    • The material will be emailed to each family. Those who need paper copies can contact Yvonne or Rev. Maria at info@stechurch.com
