How are our churches celebrating Christmas? Here are some of the events planned.
(These were correct at press time, but are subject to change depending on prevailing COVID-19 government restrictions. Please check the respective church websites for updates.)
1. Toysforyou (18 to 19 Dec 2021)
To share the Christmas joy in our community, AMC will be distributing toys to the children of beneficiaries of our Love 202X initiative. Most of these beneficiaries are needy families in the Dover area. We will be asking for donations of new or near mint condition toys from our church members. These toys will be cleaned and packed by our volunteers. Children from these needy families will be invited to come to church either on 18 or 19 December 2021 to select the toys of their choice.
2. “Light of the World” Christmas at APC (2 Dec 2021)
Aldersgate Praise Centre (APC) is an afterschool care outreach arm of AMC. The “Light of the World” Christmas initiative will be held on 2 December 2021 and is organised by APC. This school holiday programme will be evangelistic in nature. All APC students will get to attend this programme. We have also received registration from children attending AMC’s Children’s Ministry and some students from the Christian Fellowship at Fairfield Methodist Primary School.
3. Advent Reading Nights (28 Nov to 23 Dec 2021)
We will set aside 30 minutes every night from 28 November to 23 December to do daily advent reading.

Gift @ Christmas
Through our annual Gift @Christmas Christmas tree donation drive, we aim to extend the message of Love during the Christmas festive season to the needy within Ang Mo Kio during the month of December 2021.
AMKMC members and worshippers are invited to participate by blessing the needy within the AMK community via an online donation drive. Volunteers from the Witness & Evangelism ministry and AMKMC at large will distribute food gift hampers/gift vouchers. MCA will also produce a video that will help the recipients to connect with AMKMC.
Love Our Neighbour outreach
The Love-Our-Neighbour (LON) ministry is organising a gift pack distribution for the families of AMKMC’s tuition programme students. It will be an opportunity for them and other volunteers from AMKMC to reach out to the families and get to know them better. Volunteers will collect the gift packs from AMKMC on 4 Dec 2021, but they will set suitable visit times to visit the various blocks around Ang Mo Kio in the following weeks.

The Fellowship of Indian Brothers (FIB) is a ministry initiative at AMK TMC whose objective is to share God’s love among migrant workers in Singapore by equipping them with valuable life skills and providing emotional support.
FIB is planning a Christmas Joy Drive and Christmas Online Event on 19 Dec 2021. We plan to hand out food and gifts to migrant workers we know through our FIB ministry and their roommates. We also plan to conduct online games and special events such as an online drama, puppet show or magic show to name a few. We welcome volunteers who are interested in hosting online games or performing any special events.

The “Bless a Gift Project” was started last year when we want our children in our Children Ministry to share the joy of Christmas with children from Sun Beam Place. We hope to bring smiles to the children in our community as we share a gift of their wish.
This year we decided to bless the children from children’s homes, Sunbeam Place (Children’s Society) and Gracehaven (The Salvation Army). For these two homes, we need to raise 109 gifts. We launched the project this year during the Sunday School Children’s Day celebrations on Zoom. We asked the home to have the children write down their names and the present that they wish to receive (about $30). We will paired them with a child from our church to participate in this.
We asked the children and their parent to 1) say a prayer for the child; 2) buy a gift of what the child wished for; and 3) write a card for the child. They can then bring the wrapped gift to church.
Sometime in December, volunteers will bring the gifts to these two homes. We hope to bring the smiles to all the children in these to homes and that they too will feel loved and one day know the real meaning of Christmas. Since the launch of this project, we have raised 69 gifts raised. We still need more gifts!

Fairfield MC is celebrating Christmas with our community with the FMC Christmas Lighthouse initiative. It aims to reach out to the disadvantaged families in the neighbourhood of Chinatown during the season of Christmas. Christmas carols and the gospel story will be shared. A meal and gifts will also be prepared for the families to bring the Christmas cheer to them.
We encourage past participants in Christmas Lighthouses and anyone who would like to be a blessing to the Chinatown/Pearl’s Hill community this Christmas to contact Fairfield MC. We are blessed to be a blessing!

From 12 to 14 Dec 2021, the Small Group Ministry of Faith is organising the ONE CHRISTMAS event. The name of ONE CHRISTMAS is to remind the Christian community that there is only one Saviour, Jesus Christ and He is the reason for the season. The objective of this event is to send a message of hope to uplift the community surrounding our church amidst this challenging COVID-19 situation.
We encourage all Small Group members to share a gift with someone in the community: taxi drivers; delivery riders; hawkers; shop owners; or even strangers and friends who might have strayed away from the journey of faith. Also, we will be visiting the nursing home and the special needs school within the vicinity of Faith MC with a special gift set. This is to show our appreciation of the exceptional work that they have been doing and to bring cheer to them during this challenging time.
This event will end with an invitation to attend the evangelistic services on 25 Dec 2021 (at the church premises for the English service and at ACJC for the Mandarin service). The birth of this ONE CHRISTMAS event comes from the vision of the church: “Transforming Lives, Changing The World”.

This Christmas, we desire for more of God’s presence, power, purpose and peace to be made manifest within the church and throughout the community around us.
Building on last year’s Christmas initiative, Treasure Box 2 aims to share the true meaning of Christmas through the love of Christ by establishing relationships with the people God leads us to.
Here are some ways you can get involved from 12 Dec 2021:
Treasure Hunt: An exciting time of seeking God’s heart, being directed by the Holy Spirit to someone who fits the picture being reveals to us and ministering to them as the Spirit leads.
Visit and Invite: If there is someone you have already managed to establish a connection with, invite them to share in the joy of Christmas! You can reach out to neighbours, familiar hawkers, shopkeepers, and those who know of us through FSC and other agency groups.
Treasure Box: Here you will find great outreach suggestions such as to take someone out for a meal, or to a local attraction, inviting them over to your home, or for a photo booth session and of course to our Christmas service.
Filled with activities and ideas to share God’s love, you will find everything you need in the Treasure Box; from conversation starters, ice breakers to creative arts.
Young Adults Retreat: Feast on great food and God’s Word. Young adults are invited to the homes of those who are willing to host a Christmas celebration for the young adults in our church and the friends they are reach out to.
Home but Not Alone: Youths are invited to attend a special Christmas programme that brings the joy of Christmas into their homes in creative ways that will warm even the coldest Christmas.
