Places of Worship

Churches
Singapore's churches and cathedrals were built well before
the turn of the century and many are still used today as places of worship.
Visitors are reminded to observe proper etiquette, particularly when a service
is being held.
Living
Faith Church
On 18th March 2001, Living Faith Church held its inaugural
service in one of the cinema halls of Golden Village, Marina Square.
Living Faith Church was founded by John Shepherd Lim, Senior
Pastor, and his wife Pastor Tan Lay Geok in obedience to God’s call to plant
churches to support evangelism and winning the lost for Christ.
Our first worship service had a total of 75 worshippers and
since then, our congregation has grown to an average of 500 worshippers over 2
services. On our journey with God, He availed to us Pan Pacific Hotel, Kreta
Ayer People’s Theatre, Singapore Conference Hall (current venue for Sunday
Services), and DBS Auditorium.
In January 2007, the Lord provided us with our own church
venue, The OASIS THEATRETTE located at Parkmall (#13-07) for our Marketplace
Christian Fellowship Services on Mondays, Ladies Group Meetings on Wednesdays,
Lunchtime Christian Fellowship on Fridays and Youth & Young Adults Fellowship on
Saturdays.
Some of the the fundamental teachings of this congregation
are reflected in the following statements of faith:
We believe in the plenary-verbal inspiration of the accepted
canon of scriptures as originally given. The scriptures are infallible, inerrant
and the sole and final authority for all matters of faith and conduct. (2
Timothy 3:16; 1 Corinthians 2:13)
We believe in the eternal Godhead who has revealed Himself as
one God existing in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, distinguishable
but indivisible. (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit as a real
experience at or subsequent to salvation, with the scriptural evidence, namely,
speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. (Acts 2:1-4; 8:14-17;
10:44-45; Galatians 3:14-15)
We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of men,
conceived by the Holy Spirit, born by the Virgin Mary, very God and very Man.
(Luke 1:26-35; John 1:14-18; Isaiah 7:14; 9:6)

Singapore Islands
|
Sentosa: Singapore's Discovery Island
Sentosa, Singapore's holiday resort island, can be reached by air, land or sea. Cable cars leave from Mount Faber and the World Trade Centre (WTC) for Sentosa; a ride which offers a panoramic view of the Singapore harbour. Sentosa can also be reached via ferries from the World Trade Centre or overland by the Causeway-bridge. Sentosa offers a host of attractions for the whole family. So if you want to explore the island properly it is a good idea to check into one of its two luxury resort hotels for a night or two.
The Beaufort Sentosa and the Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa Beach Resort offer all the facilities and amenities you would expect of a top quality resort, with the emphasis on water sports and golf, provided by two challenging 18-hole courses.
Visit the Asian Village, which showcases ethnic foods, architecture, arts and crafts from around the region. The Village also offers 11 exhilarating rides at its Family Entertainment Centre.
Explore the Pioneers of Singapore, Surrender Chambers, Festivals of Singapore and Fort Siloso for interesting insights into the history of Singapore.
There's plenty for nature lovers too - a Butterfly Park which is home to 2,500 live butterflies from over 50 species and a Nature Walk that leads through lush jungle to the summit of Mount Imbiah, from where Singapore's neighbouring islands can be seen. A visit to the Sentosa Orchid Gardens is also a must. Highlights include beautiful and colourful exotic orchids, a garden clock, a ceremonial hall for wedding ceremonies and receptions, a pond containing about 1000 rare and beautiful Kois from Japan and a souvenir shop selling exquisite orchid motif souvenirs.
Underwater World, Asia's largest tropical oceanarium, is a treat not to be missed. It houses over 2,000 species of fish and has a submerged perspex walkway which allows visitors to pass safely under the water within inches of sharks, stingrays and moray eels. And making its imperial appearance for the first time in Singapore is the Weedy Sea dragon, a marine fish that resembles the mythical majestic dragons in Chinese folklore.
A spectacular, multi sensory experience awaits visitors at Sentosa's Volcano Land. Budding explorers will discover aspects of the extinct Mayan civilization, fossils, archaeological digs and a "pit cage" to transport them to the very heart of the "volcano". Watch out for the half-hourly eruptions of "the world's most active volcano" as the power of ancient geological forces produce a 30-metre column of smoke that can even be seen from the World Trade Centre.
When you get hungry, just visit the island's turn-of-the-century Mississippi river-boat with a fast-food restaurant and an observation deck. Then watch the musical fountain where water formations dance to the rhythm of different sounds.
Getting there: Take the MRT to HarbourFront (NE1). From HarbourFront Centre, take the Sentosa Bus Service (bus terminal across), Sentosa Ferry, Cable Car, or walk across the causeway bridge to Sentosa
Singapore has a number of other outlying islands which are relatively untouched by development. Here, visitors can enjoy true rural surroundings, sparsely-populated beaches and the invitingly warm waters.

Kusu and St John's Island (Pulau
Tembakul & Pulau Sakijang Bendera)
Kusu is a small island, sacred to both Muslims and Taoists, which has stunning views of the Singapore mainland and a good swimming lagoon. Legend has it that Kusu was a giant sea turtle which transformed itself into a large rock to save shipwrecked sailors. Taoists make an annual pilgrimage to the Tua Pekong Temple on Kusu during the ninth lunar month.
St John's Island is a large, hilly island with shaded walking paths, swimming lagoons and grassy clearings that are perfect for informal soccer. It is a popular site for weekend getaways and camping trips. Allow at least a half day for lazing about the island.
Getting there: Mondays to Saturdays, two ferry services at 10am and 1.30pm ply between the HarbourFront Centre and the two islands. On Sundays and public holidays there are six services, at 9.45am, 11.15am, 12.45pm, 2.15pm, 3.45pm and 5.15pm. Call 62703918 for enquiries

favorite pastimes is to hire a bike and pedal around the island.
