The Giving Methodist 2024: Serving in His Footsteps

Serving in His Footsteps
The Giving Methodist
14 Feb – 28 Mar 2024 (Lent)

Every year during Lent, Methodist Welfare Services (MWS) collaborates with The Methodist Church in Singapore for The Giving Methodist (TGM). For six years, TGM has aimed to galvanise all Methodists in Singapore to show love and kindness to the distressed and disadvantaged.

The theme of TGM for this year, Serving in His Footsteps, is centred on the humility and selflessness demonstrated by Jesus Christ during His time on earth. Instead of seeking to be served, Jesus exemplified a life of service, compassion, and sacrifice.

For the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.
Mark 10:45

Mark 10:45 encapsulates the heart of Jesus and serves as a powerful reminder for us to follow in His footsteps by showing love and kindness to the last, lost and least. As believers, let’s also show love and kindness as Jesus did.

This Lent, we hope to encourage our Methodist community to follow the footsteps of our Master and galvanise fellow believers in doing the same. TGM 2024 calls on Methodists to:

• Give Time: Spend 2 hours with the MWS Chaplaincy Team who will bring you through Pastoral Care Training. You will also get to minister to residents at an MWS Nursing Home.
• Give a Donation: Provide financial assistance for over 11,000 beneficiaries that MWS serves across 22 centres and programmes.
• Give Voice: Spread the word about The Giving Methodist with your friends and family through your social networks with the digital resources and homilies provided.
