Themreiso: Reflection on Thanksgiving 2024

Posted by eeyuing on November 16, 2024 · Leave a Comment

The EAST Student Council organised a school-wide Thanksgiving event on 15 November 2024. For Themreiso, an Indian first year student, it was the first such experience in Singapore and he was much ministered by both the people and event. Read of his personal reflection below.

Today, I arrived at school early at 9 a.m. to help arrange for the Thanksgiving program. As I began assisting, I noticed Henry and Elijah (Student Council members) working tirelessly to prepare for the day. Their dedication reminded me of a valuable lesson: true leadership is found in serving others. This insight inspired me to reflect on my own attitudes toward service and leadership.

Here is a short reflection by an American EAST resident faculty, Rev Derek Atkins on his personal response to the recent US Presidential Election outcome. May it cause us to pray diligently for our political and governmental leaders–local or global–as instructed by Paul in 1 Timothy 2:1-3.

Dear fellow Americans, good morning from Singapore.

I have been watching the election results throughout the day. Given that recent headlines were predicting this race would be a “coin toss,” I am surprised to see that Donald Trump won the race. I know many of you are happy at this result, and many of you are saddened by this outcome. For the record, I did not vote for either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump–I casted a write-in ballot for Condolezza Rice as President and Kay Bailey Hutchinson as Vice President.
