Dear Church Admins, Thank You

To express our thanks for the managers and administrative staff of CAC’s 17 local churches, CAC organised a full-day Admin Appreciation Lunch & Fellowship on Monday, 9 October 2023. Held once every one to two years, the gathering was a rare opportunity for participants to meet, connect and have a good time with church staffs from outside of their own church. As the organiser, our hope is that those serving in operational and administrative roles in our CAC churches may be reminded of the wider assembly of fellow church workers that exists – a group of people they can relate to and receive help from, especially when faced with challenges that another church may have already experienced and is able to provide guidance on.

More than 30 staff from our local churches arrived at Ang Mo Kio Chinese Methodist Church on the morning of the fellowship. We joined in a time of praising the Lord whom we love and serve before CAC President, Rev Dr Gregory Goh, shared a few words of encouragement. He spoke of how administrative staffs play a crucial role in the operation of a church and how they can better be an ambassador of the peace of Christ in their respective churches. Referencing 2 Corinthians 5:17-20 and Proverbs 10:19-22, Rev Goh exhorted that the words of our lips ought not to be slanderous but instead a reflection that we are receivers of Christ’s message of reconciliation.

With that, we were off to enjoy good food and fellowship over lunch and subsequently, Bird Paradise! Get a glimpse of how the day went through the photos and participant reflections shared.

Hope to see more church staff joining us for these gatherings in the future!
