7th Anniversary Greeting from Rev. Dr. David Peterson

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, it has been a pleasure to share fellowship with you on two occasions now. I am thankful to God for the growth in your numbers and the maturity of so many. On this anniversary occasion, let me remind you that in the book of Acts we are told that the gospel flourishes through suffering, conflict and opposition (6:7; 9:31; 12:24; 19:20). At a personal level, the apostle Paul encourages new believers to continue in the faith, saying that ’through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God’ (Acts 6:21). So we must be realistic about the difficulties, but confident in God and the gospel to fulfill his great purpose in bringing into his kingdom ‘a great multitude that no one could number’ (Rev 7:9), including many from Malaysia! May God continue to bless you with faithfulness and perseverance.

Momentous moments in CERC

This recent Foundation Day was celebrated with a look back at the many memorable moments CERC has had. Many CERC-ians shared that the day they became members and took a pledge to ?do all things in devotion and faith in Christ for God?s glory? was most memorable for them. Others talked about the fun times we’ve had as a church, and still others loved Combined Growth Groups nights, where the best creative performances are concocted from months of studying the scriptures. Here are some of the other memorable interviews.
