Heyas!
Pastor Chris' mum passed away this morning.
Here is an email he sent. Please join the family in their grief, thanksgiving and hope in the gospel that will save us from a fate worse than death.

> We then called a(nother) ARPC doctor as our faithful family doctor, Dr Esther Tan, is away in UK.

> Jeff helped with police report, Michael with funeral arrangements whilst Chor Yin and Hanniel have sprung into loving action since.
> Thank you so much my brothers. We are happy to use a casket place for the wake services but Michael suggested ARPC.
> I am fine either way and don't want to be presumptous, simply because I am senior pastor!
> The only other funeral wake we have had here was for Eileen Chin, 10 years back.
> So, I have asked Session for "official" permission to go ahead with the wake services in ARPC. Hope it's okay.

> The funeral is set for Sat, Apr 7 at 10.30 am Mandai Hall 3.
> We will let you know more of the wake services days ... soon.

Dear Errol,
thanks for letting us know. We grieve with the family. God has indeed been very gracious to let Pastor Chris' mom go in such peace. Do update us on the wake services. We will try to go if we can make baby sitting arrangement.

Dear Errol,
the cc email for google group is spelled wrongly so the emails will bounce.
