Who is the King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
the Lord mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O you gates;
Lift them up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
Who is He, this King of glory?
The Lord Almighty - He is the King of glory.

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All, here in the love of Christ I stand.

Song ID # 1190523
Text & Music by Hal H Hopson & Johan Pachelbel. © 1984 Somerset Press
(a div. of Hope Publishing Company). Used by Permission. CCLI Licence #306014
All within me bless the Lord,
All within me bless His Holy Name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
All within me, bless His Holy Name. (x2)
O hear, you righteous,
Know that the Lord is good.
We remember all His love,
He crowns our lives with hope and truth.
God the Lord is gracious,
His mercy is the same forever.
As a father loves his children,
So the Lord loves His own.
Those who know the Lord,
(Those who love the Lord shall claim,)
They claim His ever-present help.
(Shall claim His ever-present help.)
O bless the Lord,
O all within me bless His Holy Name.
O bless the Lord, my soul,
O bless His Holy Name.
Offertory Anthem:
“Eagle's Wings” Medley
Words and Music by Michael Joncas, Horatio Spafford and Philip P. Bliss
Choral Setting by John F. Wilson
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like a sun,
And hold you in the palm of His hand.
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
Who abide in His shadow for life,
Say to the Lord,
7
"My Refuge, my Rock, in whom I trust!"
When peace like a river attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot,
Thou hast taught me to say,
"It is well, it is well with my soul."
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul!
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like a sun,
And hold you, hold you in the palm of His hand.
And hold you in the palm of His hand, of His hand.

Vacancy for CEO at Chen Su Lan Methodist Children’s Home
TMC has partnered the Home in ministry for many years. Every Sunday,
some of the children come to TMC and spend time with our volunteers
reading God's Word, joining in the activities of our Children's Ministry,
and simply sharing about their lives outside of the Home environment.
The children also go on outings with our volunteers, or meet up
with them on a casual basis.
The Home invites suitable candidates to apply for the position of
Chief Executive Officer to work with the Board to provide leadership
and management of the Home. Candidates must have a general degree
(a major in social studies is an advantage) and 10 or more years of
management experience in a senior position. A strategic and strong
leader with excellent communication skills is sought.
