CELEBRATING BETHANY'S 36TH ANNIVERSARY

"Shouts of 'Grace, grace to it!'"
Zechariah 4:7d

1. The Doctrine Of Grace

  1. This is strongly taught in the Scriptures.
  2. Both the OT and the NT emphasized the place of God's grace in salvation, life and ministry!

2. The Application Of Grace

  1. In the day of Zerubbabel when the returnees were re-building the Jerusalem Temple.
  2. In our day, we have seen the Lord giving us His grace:
    1. When we first began with a simple Terrace House at 20 Jalan Lakum.
    2. First Church (5 storied Building) at 301 Upper Paya Lebar Road.
    3. Second Church (8 storied Building) at 301 Upper Paya Lebar Road.
  3. We too may shout "Grace, Grace!" as we look back at how the Lord has blessed us all these years!
  4. Let us be thankful that we have never lacked faithful servants of God who helped in numerous ways to help develop Bethany!

Let us recount the grace of God outpoured on Bethany! Let us celebrate the Lord's grace given to us as at Bethany all these years!

POETRY CORNER

THE COMMON ROAD

I want to travel the common road
With the great crowd surging by,
Where there's many a laugh and many a load,
And many a smile and sigh.

I want to be on the common way
With its endless tramping feet,
In the summer bright and winter gray,
In the noonday sun and heat.

In the cool of evening with shadows nigh,
At dawn, when the sun breaks clear,
I want the great crowds passing by,
To ken what they see and hear.

I want to be one of the common herd,
Not live in a sheltered way,
Want to be thrilled, want to be stirred
By the great crowd day by day.

To glimpse the restful valley deep,
To toil up the rugged hill,
To see the brooks which shyly creep,
To have the torrents thrill.

I want to laugh with the common man
Wherever he chance to be,
I want to aid him when I can
Whenever there's need of me.

I want to lend a helping hand
Over the rough and steep
To a child too young to understand -
To comfort those who weep.

I want to live and work and plan
With the great crowd surging by,
To mingle with the common man,
No better or worse than I.

Silas H. Perkins
