Dementia is a disease that, depending on its severity, can strip a person of their autonomy and intellectual prowess.
Dr Roland Chia reminds us, “…the Christian with dementia is part of the fellowship of believers—a community that knows them and cares for them, a community that remembers. Most significantly, the Christian with dementia is remembered by God—who loves them, has redeemed them through Jesus Christ, and is transforming them by his Spirit into the image and likeness of his Son.”

In Northern Thailand, the Term Fun Home began as a place of welfare and care for the marginalised. Today, its former beneficiaries lead worship, serve in administration, and make disciples at Mittaphab Methodist Church.
When the early Methodist movement met practical needs — schools, dispensaries, preaching houses — it was never an end in itself. It was always a bridge to the gospel, to loving the community and to souls being saved.
Rev Erick Tan, Director of Missions Training and Development at MMS, reflects on what it means to invest in cross-border mission today — and how indigenous "helpers", empowered by the Spirit, are multiplying the soul-saving work across MMS fields.

AldersgateSG 2026 is a wrap!
Last evening, we held the Celebration Service at Barker Road Methodist Church (BRMC). Bishop Emeritus Dr Hwa Yung shared once again on the theme “Is the Bible Not Enough?”. It was a thought-provoking session that stirred the hearts of many, exploring the topic on “What Did the Church Forget?”. Rev Dr Wendy Watson invited all who attended, both on-site and online, to commit to never say “no” to God, and to pray and ask God to “do it again”.
We’d like to thank the musicians, vocalists, Methodist Festival Choir, Methodist Festival Ensemble, Emmanuel Children’s Praise, Emmanuel Praise Choir and Emmanuel Praise Band for filling the atmosphere with heavenly voices where everyone joined in, lifting our voices in praise and worship together!
Special thanks to BRMC for hosting the event this year!
We hope that your hearts were strangely warmed. See you all again next year!

John Wesley said, “I am not afraid that the people called Methodists should ever cease to exist either in Europe or America. But I am afraid, lest they should only exist as a dead sect, having the form of religion without the power.”

The June issue of Methodist Message is out!
· Attachment styles and conflict response
Attachment Theory was introduced by Dr John Bowlby in the 1960s. This theory proposes that one's attachment style can influence how they experience and resolve conflict. Benny Bong shares his views on how our Christian faith could intersect with an understanding of attachment styles to foster more secure and loving relationships.
· Toxicity detox
Toxic work environments are commonplace—it could take the form of a callous leader, stressed organisational systems or just unhealthy interpersonal relationships among colleagues. This article explores how Christians can rely on Scripture and Kingdom principles to navigate a toxic workplace, revive its culture and even thrive as God's witnesses in the marketplace.

2 Corinthians 5:18 says, "All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation."
This June, Bishop Philip Lim calls fellow Methodists to "hold the conviction that God's prevenient grace reaches every life, inviting sinners into repentance and restoration". Reconciliation, he reminds us, is both a sacred call and a practical one. It begins with humble listening — crossing generational divides and differing convictions with attentive speech that seeks understanding over argument.
Bishop Lim grounds this call in hope: the resurrected Christ reconciles the world to himself, and the Church is entrusted with that same ministry. As Wesleyan people, personal holiness and social holiness cannot be separated. Our congregations are called to practise grace, active listening and sustained justice — and in doing so, become living signs of God's reconciling reign.
