Eastertide begins on Easter Sunday, and Christ the Resurrected and Living Lord is emphasized, along with the themes of rebirth, new life, and victory over sin and death. It is a season of great celebration throughout Christendom, and the liturgical colour of white symbolizes purity and this celebratory mood.

Aldersgate Lecture & Celebration Service 2026
Every year, Methodists around the world commemorate John Wesley’s Aldersgate encounter with the Holy Spirit, where his heart was “strangely warmed” and was a turning point for him as he received assurance of salvation.
In his life and ministry, our founder cited Scripture, Tradition, Experience and Reason as the four sources of theological authority. This came to be known as the Wesleyan Quadrilateral, sometimes referred to as the Methodist Quadrilateral.
This year, the speaker for AldersgateSG 2026, Bishop Emeritus Dr Hwa Yung, will speak to us on Experience, one of the aspects of the Wesleyan Quadrilateral. BE Dr Hwa Yung had served as the Bishop of The Methodist Church in Malaysia from 2004 to 2012.
We hope our Aldersgate attendees, young or old, will gain valuable insight through the Aldersgate lecture and sermon, and come to appreciate the Methodist legacy even more.
Below are the key dates for Aldersgate 2026, which will be held at Barker Road Methodist Church. Do support the event in prayer and through your participation. Save these dates and invite a friend to join in!
