Removal of online bulletins

Dear BPCWA worshipper, As you may have read in the announcement today, we have removed the online bulletins from our church’s website. At the same time, we have added new pages online to make our pastorals more easily accessible and so that they can still be read by all. As we saw from our recent Annual Congregational Meeting query and for our recent study on BPCWA’s history, we learnt how important bulletins are. Over the years, I have noticed that many churches have stopped putting their bulletins online. Why did we remove the online bulletins? In this pastoral, we will see why this change was necessary, what was done, and what we can expect moving forward. Why do we have

Why do we have Teens Q and A? This was first

How should the Christian respond to COVID-19?

Dear BPCWA worshipper, COVID-19 continues to fill headline spaces in the news globally, affects the daily activities and livelihood of man, and has been a frequent part of our conversations for more than a year already. As far as we can see, these do not seem to be changing anytime soon. In our recent COVID-19 pastoral series, we have seen man’s frailty, God’s control, and why there are pestilences. In this final part, we need to know how the Christian should respond to this pandemic. Stop trusting temporal treasures. When we see the strong that are suddenly overcome by sickness, when a basic human function like taking a breath is no more taken for granted, it makes one think if
