PRAYER CORNER “Answer us when we call to you, O our righteous God … be merciful to us and hear our prayers.” Ps 4:1

Thank God for the Synod 135th Anniversary service. May the Lord continue to watch over the Presbyterian churches in Singapore, and may each member church forge a sense of unity and grow in understanding of what it means to be a part of a larger church, the church universal, the church visible and invisible (the church to come) in God's Kingdom.

May God lead and provide HOPE PC w ith a Senior Minister to shepherd and feed this congregation.

May God watch over the needs of His people here in HPC, both physical and spiritual, and may He grant us His grace, mercy and strength as we serve and love the Lord.
