A unique place of worship
This is definitely the church with the most unique of locations. There are those that worship in the home, the shophouse, the industrial unit, the shopping mall, an association building, the cinema theatre, restaurants, schools, even the columbarium, but this is the first time I experienced worship in the Arts House [...]]]></description>

“I have read his blog. Then we became friends on Facebook.” That was how Pastor Richard Wong introduced me as the guest speaker in his church.

Sunday worship service
We entered an empty spacious basement car park of the Crown Towers, an office building. SIB Grace leased the 9th Floor auditorium and halls. There was space for 500 but a third of it was used as a fellowship area, while the rest were filled with seats. The attendance ranged from 150 to [...]]]></description>

The  Saturday&#8217;s Straits Times special report by Lee Siew Hua and Susan Long was an excellent analysis of the church scene in Singapore, albeit with a slant towards the currently newsworthy megachurches. Reading the well researched and eye-opening articles can give the majority of small churches a feeling of creeping muscular dystrophy. There [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anecdotal accounts tell me that Singapore pastors do overwork. Their minds are engaged perpetually on preaching and church ministry and problems. It even affects their family life. Even while physically present they could be emotionally absent from home. Rick Warren (Saddleback Community Church) warns pastors against overwork in the ministry.“My experience is pastors tend to [...]]]></description>
