The Gospel in Galatians

🗓️Wednesdays, 22 & 29 Oct 2025
⏰ 7.45pm – 10pm
📍Haven (Level 1, Sanctuary Block)
🗣️ Speaker: Bishop Emeritus Dr Wee Boon Hup

WHAT IS THE GOSPEL? Not the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) – the gospel. Many of us think that the gospel is simply summed up in the various formulas we use in personal evangelism. But what is it, really? We think we do, but even the apostle Peter did not seem to get right leading Paul to publicly rebuke him (Galatians 2:11-14). Paul saw that it was necessary for him to deal with the subject “so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.” (Galatians 2:5). What is this truth that is at the heart of the gospel? This two-session course will examine Paul’s answer to that question, and its relevance for today.

🗣️ Speaker: Mr Eric Tan (Certified Financial Planner® and Estate & Succession Practitioner, licensed by the MAS)

Are you parent or caregiver of a child/dependent with special needs? Join us to understand the unique challenges of ensuring their well-being now and in the future. With proper training, you can navigate legal, financial, and emotional aspects of their care mor easily. In this talk, Eric Tan will help us (1) to recognize and prevent risks that could endanger your dependent’s future, (2) gain insight into the crucial aspects of planning for your dependent that are often overlooked, and (3) develop a personalized plan tailored to your family’s needs and goals.

Session Synopsis:

Parents and caregivers of persons with disabilities or special needs often carry a heavy concern: What will happen to my loved one when I’m no longer around?

This session on Estate Planning for Families with Special Needs is designed to give clarity and practical solutions. Participants will learn:
• Why estate planning is especially critical for families with dependents who have special needs.
• Common mistakes families make when it comes to wills, nominations, and property transfers and how to avoid them.
• The right tools available, such as wills, trusts, and the Special Needs Trust Company (SNTC), to ensure continuity of care.
• Practical first steps to start planning today.

The goal is simple: to help families walk away not only with knowledge, but also with the assurance that there are trusted ways forward and that they don’t have to navigate this journey alone.
