It is indeed a blessing that we have come together tonight in the presence of God Almighty, united in faith and love, to remember, celebrate and spread the Good News of the holy nativity of our Lord, to have fellowship with fellow Christians from different churches and denominations, and most of all, to offer our praise, worship and thanksgiving to our Saviour and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
The theme for this year’s joint Christmas Service is “God’s Everlasting Love”. As it written in the Gospel of John, Chapter 3 verse 16, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have eternal life.” Let us rejoice in the Knowledge in the promise of God’s unfailing and eternal love for all mankind, we have salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ.
The Joint Service was fluently packed with singing of Hymn and praise, and reading of scripture by various representative and pastors of various churches.
Subsequently the event was proceed with the Christmas Parade, symbolizing the spreading of the Gospel to the community.
