Movie Appreciation Day – 22 Aug, Wednesday (PH)

Let us come together to watch the “The Judge” starring Robert Downey Jr and Robert Duvall. We will pause the movie from time to time, to discuss how some scenes either echo or challenge our faith. Since it is a public holiday, we can start the day with the Eucharist at 7:30am, followed by a free simple breakfast at the canteen and we will start the movie at 8.45am, in St Michael Room. Some snacks will be provided and you can bring your own.

Same Sex Attraction Talk (SSA) – 25 Aug, Saturday

This is an invitation to all ministry leaders, elderly, parents, grandparents, young adults and teens to know, be educated and change attitudes in informed ways.

This talk aims to help us understand the factors behind and around homosexuality – from the psychological science viewpoint. Know the difference between “having SSA (Same Sex Attraction)” and “being Gay/Lesbian”. Understand why “inclusion into the extended Christian family” is so important. This talk is not pro nor anti-LGBT, but provides insights from the Psychological Sciences for conservative communities. It will explain why SSA is not chosen by the person who has it, the factors that contribute to it, the various ways harm can be done including quack therapies. It aims to remove fear, prejudice and misconceptions while suggesting appropriate stance each community can take. It is in line with the precepts of all major religious faiths.

Time: 1 to 5pm Venue: TBA
