The Congregational Care Committee helps to achieve the church’s mission by helping church members to love and serve one another and care for the needy in God’s world – and to go beyond meeting physical needs to meeting spiritual needs, leading onto Christian discipleship. Apart from the Small Group network through its Small Group Management Council, the Committee has responsibility for a range of ministries that provide pastoral care for different groups within the congregation:
- Prayer Meetings: Corporate prayer is an important part of the life of the church. Monthly Congregational Prayer meeting meets every 1st Wednesday @8pm Coffee Morning and Prayer meets every 2nd Tuesday @10am.
- Visitations: Our quarterly visitation teams visit regularly the house-bound, elderly, sick, bereaved and new birth.
- Ministry for Women (M4W): We have a vibrant Bible Study for Women (BS4W) who meets weekly on Thursdays @ 10.15am.
Events for Women (E4W), which organizes regular seminars and retreats for ladies.
Activities for Women (A4W), which organizes baking and cooking, hi-teas, food fairs and numerous fundraising activities. There are always activities for our ladies to do and participate.
- Sunshine Fellowship: With the needs of those over 55 in mind, the fellowship holds talks on health, bible study as well as occasional outings. They meet every 1st Friday of the month.
- Small Group Ministry: At ORPC, we run a variety of small group gatherings to help people grow at every stage of Christian understanding. From new believers to mature Christians, small group is a great way of learning God’s Word and knowing him personally. It also provides a network for mutual encouragement and support.
