Seder Celebration & Reflections
“Seder” Reflections 2023
On 5th April preceding Good Friday, EAST celebrated Seder (Passover) as part of a Chapel Service. This was led by Rabbi Dr Keith Shubert. The experience was rich, thought- provoking, and meaningful. As a family of God, we acknowledged the work of Christ on the cross and Jesus being our Passover Lamb. We experienced what a normal Jewish family goes through in observing the Seder.
Joyful Resurrection Sunday!

Christ is Risen on that first Resurrection Sunday!
“If you confess with your mouth ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9, ESV).
May He reign in your life even as He is LORD of all!
The video below, “Jesus is Alive!” depicted the resurrection scene (based on John 20:1-23) from The Life of Jesus movie.
Blessed Good Friday 2023

“But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.”
Isaiah 53:5 ESV
“It is finished!” said Jesus as he breathed his last and gave up his spirit (John 19:30). This final act showed in stark relief how he willingly and unflinchingly took on the entire weight of all our sins upon himself as the sacrificial lamb of God after he had completed all the prophetic tasks required of him as the incarnate Christ.

The annual EAST eOpen House was held on 18 Feb 2023 as an opportunity for both local and international potential students to interact with students and faculty online and find out more in their area of interest.
At the opening plenary, Rev Dr Chan Chong Hiok (EAST President), Rev Liong Kwok Wai (Academics Dean), Dr Jeannette Shubert (Associate Academics Dean) together with two student MCs Anj Pantaleon (in MDiv Christian Ministry program) and Amos Chew (in MA Leadership program) interacted over the educational values and vision of EAST and its impact on the students. Dr Chan shared about EAST’s heart, head, hands, and the Holy Spirit as a holistic model of education. Dr Jeannette used a pair of chopsticks to illustrate the dual emphases of academic rigour and practical application as the desired integrated development of the whole person at EAST. See bottom for video of the plenary where the above were discussed and more. Read more
