Starting 2022!

Our first week of the January 2022 semester was a welcome for our new students and a time of gathering as Mentoring Groups to start off this new season.

As a community, It was good to see each other again after the December holidays, and we appreciated getting to start the semester with intentional times for Mentoring Groups to gather. This is one way our new students get connected with everyone in the wider EAST community, and with the fellow students journeying alongside within the same Mentoring Groups. The EAST community is where we rally around each other in fellowship, prayer and encouragement. 

We give thanks for our community in school and continue to walk with each other in the semester ahead. 

During the Mentoring Group (MG) Retreat held over 4-6 January, we had the privilege of having Rev Dr Chua Chung Kai from Covenant Evangelical Free Church (Covenant EFC) minister to our community. He reminded us that we can approach God through religion, ritual, rationale and relationship, but most importantly it is not just nice to “know about God” but to ultimately know God as a person.

On the third day of the MG Retreat, different MGs went to different parts of Singapore for a time of solitude, retreat, and sharing. Some went to Botanic Gardens and others were at Jurong Lake Gardens. It was a day set aside to seek the Lord personally, and corporately.

Mrs Josephine Goh & her team who organised the MG Retreat 2022 helped EAST Community bond with one another, and more importantly, start the year right in deepening our relationship with God.
