The Worship Ministry wants to invite everyone to join them in a night of worship through music May 19, Saturday night at 6:30pm.  Come to enjoy praise and worship, songs performed by some of our members, and come to hear original compositions.  Let’s glorify our great God through our offering of songs. 

For more information, please call Sis. Agnes Tan.

Members and church leaders are encouraged to come and join this “Until Midnight Prayer Rally”.  Thrice a year, we conduct this kind of gathering.  The purpose is clear, just as Christ spent a lot of times in prayer, even until morning in some instances, we too, would like to follow that example in communion with our Heavenly Father.  Occasion like this shows our ardent desire to seek the will and favor of God in accomplishing His will.  Let’s be together on this.

April 21: To our members:

Come and share your time in this labor of love for God. Bring your own things to help clean the church facilities and ground.

Your labor of love is greatly appreciated!

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who took the time to wake up early last Sunday and attend our sunrise service.

Our Easter Message can be heard here,  while the Easter Cantata can be accessed and listened to via this link.

God Bless. See you all next week.

Worship will start at 6am and the Easter Cantata by our Choir will follow shortly after Worship. The choir will share musical numbers and narration from “Then Came the Morning.”

Remind and inform your friends about the adjustment of time we made for this year.

We will have two films to show. Film shoring will start at 6pm @ SJBCI Building. Invite your friends and neighbors to join us.

First Film: Prophecy On Israel
Second film: The End of the Spear

The Prophecy of Israel: a one-hour made-for-TV documentary shot entirely on location in Israel. It reveals an astounding historical journey that begins over 3000 years ago with the reign of King David and King Solomon and recounts key historical events which unfolded in that land from those early times through the present day.

It dramatically weaves into this historical journey “The Prophecy of Israel”, written centuries ago by Israel’s prophets of old. Alexander Scourby beautifully narrates these prophecies from the Bible. You then discover how these prophecies are being fulfilled in modern day Israel and the Middle East. Just 100 years ago, none of these prophecies were fulfilled and the prospects of them ever being fulfilled seemed impossible. Yet today, many of these prophecies have been fulfilled and many more are being fulfilled right before our eyes.

End of the Spear: “And the truth of the story is this: God had a Son who was speared so that we all might know forgiveness. Mincayani and the Waodani learned this when Nate Saint’s sister Rachel, along with two of the widows and their children, moved into the Waodani village in the wake of their loved ones’ deaths. It was through their witness that much of the tribe converted to Christianity. And it’s through the harrowing experience of two men as told in End of the Spear—Steve Saint and Mincaye, now as close as father and son—that moviegoers can learn the power of forgiveness and reconciliation.” -L.Cockrel from Christianity Today
