Dear VCFer, 🖋

Why were letters so common in the New Testament? Letter writing is often said to be a lost art, but there's a reason why it is art to begin with!

This year, the Biblical Engagement Study Team (BEST) will be focusing on the genre of EPISTLES! If you would like to find out more about epistles as a genre, (and perhaps even prepare yourself to read an epistle with us at our BEST Book Club 🫢) come join us at our Introduction to Epistles Workshop, run by Mr Hor Guo Yi of the Biblical Graduate School of Theology!

📅 Date: 23 Sep, Mon
🕰 Time: 6-9pm
📍 Venue: Fellowship of Evangelical Students, Conference Room
(420 North Bridge Road #05-05, S188727)

We hope to see you there ☺️

In His Love,

FT2: Theology of Witness 🌱🗣⚡️
[Fellowship Teaching 2]

"You are my witnesses," declares the Lord... (Isaiah 43:10)

...you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. (Acts 1:8)

🫵 Fun fact: the Greek word for 'witness' is 'martus' — the root word of martyr, referencing those who died for their faith in Christ!

We may no longer be persecuted for our faith like the apostles once were. But what does the Bible say about witnessing? And how is that still relevant to our lives today — especially as university students?

Come to FT2 for a time of worship & teaching! May you be inspired to be a witness for Christ, just as He has called us to be 💫

🔗 Register for FT2 HERE!

📅 Date: 18 Sep, Wed
🕰 Time: 7-9.30pm (6.30pm doors open)
*we will start at 7pm sharp!
📍 Venue: Hon Sui Sen Auditorium

As Christian students in the university, it may feel daunting to encounter new and provocative ideas and ideologies that might present a challenge to our pre-existing worldviews. How might we, as faithful followers of Christ, engage with the university in a manner that strengthens our Christian mind, faith, and witness? How might we emerge wiser and better formed through our learning journey in the university?

Explore these questions and more at the Cultivating a Christian Mind conference! Sign up NOW! When you've signed up, do join this groupchat so we can go together as a VCF!

The plenary lecture by Rev Dr Sam Law (14 Sep) will touch on:
1. A brief history of the University and its development through the last three centuries.
2. Various systems of knowledge and thought, such as a biblical worldview with God as Creator and how it contrasts with a materialist worldview that denies religious revelation.
3. How can we, as Christians students in Singapore, integrate and contextualize what we learn in university with our Christian tradition and worldview?
