Call to Worship from Ephesians 1:18-23 [PLEASE STAND] Mr Moses Goh; 8.30am Mrs Ong Cheow Lan; 10.30am Mr Choe Peng Sum; 5pm Leader I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may

know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his people,

People and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength

Leader he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,

People far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that can be invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

Leader And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church,

ALL which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. Amen.
