Reformed News Asia - June 2015 (Issue 19)

RefdNewsAsia Banner

The latest issue of "Reformed News Asia" (#19) has been released by the Christian Literature Ministry (CLM - check out their new website!) of our sister church in Singapore, the Covenant Evangelical Reformed Church. Once again you will find an issue filled with informative and profitable content - from publications being promoted, to missions/evangelism labors being performed, to church activities being planned and carried out.

One of the special resources made available in this issue is the daily devotions, which continue a series covering the Heidelberg Catechism (LDs 27-31 - the sacraments and the keys of the kingdom). Written by Rev.A. den Hartog, these devotions on the "HC" take you through the month of July and into August (July 2- August 5). You will find great spiritual profit in using these devotions day by day (By the way, you may also find these same HC devotionals on the PRC website.).

The RNA also reports on recent activities in the CERC, such as the Covenant Keepers 2015 Retreat (see group picture below) and the annual church camp, at which Prof.B.Gritters spoke in June (The picture below is a group photo taken at the church camp).

For more information on events and activities in the CERC as well as on life in Singapore, with lots of great pictures and descriptions, visit the "Stories from Singapore" blog of the Lannings.
