Filial piety is the source of all virtues. Respecting the elderly community, the members of the World Mission Society Church of God Singapore (SGWMSCOG) express their deepest gratitude to the senior citizens for devoting their entire lives to the nation and their families.
On the morning of Apr 21, 2013, 120 volunteers from the SGWMSCOG arrived at the Singapore Amalgamated Services Co-operative Organisation (SASCO) Senior Citizens’ Home at Choa Chu Kang.
Volunteers were divided into two groups. One group cleaned the lodging area of the elderly, whilst the other group entertained the elderly and the care-givers.

From the top of the cabinets to the blades of fans, the volunteers did their best to cover every spot. With cloths and brushes in their hands, they wiped and scrubbed with a joyful mind. Not forgetting to wash the toilets and wipe the bed frames, they cleaned anything they could find.

Visiting an old folks’ home for the first time, Jasmine Lim, 18, an NUS student with an euphoric smile on her face, expressed her gratitude to have the chance to participate in this event, “It was as if I was seeing my own grandpa and grandma. They shared with me their life experiences and guided me with words of wisdom. I also felt rewarded to spend a meaningful day by making their lodging sparkling clean.”

The residents, care-givers and staff members of the SASCO Senior Citizens’ Home were treated to a series of fun-filled performances such as dance, sing-a-long, and mini orchestra, just to mention a few. The old folks thoroughly enjoyed the performances as they lifted their thumbs up with their brightly lit faces. Each elderly person received a personalised handmade craft folded in the shape of a heart with handwritten notes of “We Love You” in English and Chinese. Volunteers spent quality time with the elderly by having small conversations and lending a listening ear to the old folks.
The World Mission Society Church of God Singapore donated 50 boxes of tissue rolls, 750 bottles of Yakult cultured milk drink and 32 cartons of noodles to the home, besides daily necessities and toiletries.
“I am actually a shy person by nature. I was nervous before we went up on stage to sing for the senior citizens. However, once we started, the old folks were singing and clapping along with us, all my anxiousness went away. Seeing their encouragement, I too, enjoyed myself on stage. This is a very memorable experience for me. “exclaimed Catherine Teow, 52, who sang a duet with her husband with a Hokkien song titled Chu Lian.
The members of the World Mission Society Church of God Singapore deliver God’s love by serving the elderly with a smile and a loving heart.

They are salt and the light of the world. Always practicing neighborly love worldwidely. So beautiful activity.
What makes people smile and cheer up?
Maybe it’s bright smile from another person.
We all need this kind of smiles from the bottom of our hearts.
They did a great thing of delivering these smile to other people.
Nowadays we don’t see people caring for their elderly who raised them up. I find that very sad, but I’m glad the church of God still cares and volunteers to help these elderly while bringing a smile to their faces !
It’s touching they did like that. Filial piety … At this moment of selfish relations.
It’s so amazing that they are doing all the work with smile even though it is tough. I am so impressed by their bright smiles!!
I have experiences voluntary works for senior citizens home. I still remember bright smile of elderly people whom I met there. Thank you for reminding me. You really did a goooooooooood job!
I think their bright smile comes from the love of Elohim God who serve before us. And I am happy to see this great happy news!! Thanks to Father Ahnsahnghong and Mother!!
You guys are awesome
I’m kind of shocked that World Mission Society Church of God won the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service. I’d like to find out more about this church.
Wow I didn’t know youth will spend time doing community services these days. May I know where is this church located in Singapore?
Fantastic World Mission Society Church of God! This Church is full of love.
Eh, I seriously miss this event. Have been looking forward to it since the last one ended, please. Helping to put smiles on other people’s faces is always a satisfying work 😊
I totally agree on the part on missing doing this event! I’d love to have another event like this again! It’s so heartening to see our elderly smile too. 🙂
Nothing beats seeing the happy smiles on the faces of our pioneer generation. ^^ It’s good to see so many youth members from the Church of God World Mission Society, setting good example. I truly hope you can keep up the good work and practice what you guys preach! 👍❤💙💛💜
Singapore wouldn’t have been at this prosperous position today, if not for the sacrifice of the pioneer generation. Truly, their contributions are great. However, in the increasingly individualistic society, many of the elderly in the homes live a life of solitude. Thanks to God, through the church of God we are able to serve the elderly, entertain them and brought joy and smiles to their faces. The church of God aims to continue to serve the aged with a smile and a loving heart!
Our senior citizens deserve to be love no matter where they are as they play a part to show us first, love and concern. Elohim is love over all! Let’s practice God’s love like Church of God. Being joyful to SERVE!
Amen, they still play an important role in today’s society too! Let’s not forget them and reach out our hands to fill their hearts with God’s love. I hope that the Church of God will organise similar event like this very soon!!
Volunteer service is really something that we need to participate in and learn how to put others first. From what I know is that World Mission Society Church of God always carry out the volunteer services on a worldwide basis and all the members work with their whole heart, devoting themselves. Moreover, this church always receive highest volunteer services awards from the government. It’s really the true church that God dwells in.
We all need this kind of services. Everyone wants to be loved by someone.
We can surely do this good thing if we set our mind to do it!
wow there’s a senior citizens volunteer activities! I really want to participate in any of the upcoming activities to shine the glory of God and to give my share in the society!:)
Really amazed by the level of enthusiasm volunteers from the World Mission Society Church of God have while performing volunteer work!
Hopefully, I will have the chance to participate in more of their volunteer works and do my part as a citizen of this nation as well!
看到老人们都好开心哦！因为被天使服侍着😊
啥也不说了！我要去上帝的教会世界福音宣教协会！
So touch to see u guys doing such a great effort for the elderly..! God bless you!
Very nice Church of God
I remember tearing when an elderly lady shared with us how she felt when we were there. As she shared her thoughts, she was smiling throughout. In the society we live now, we tend to only do what we want, our priority and thinking is me, myself and I. Through this event, I’m grateful to the pioneer generation for working so hard to put our little dot on the world map.
Yes! I too was so touched seeing how happy and pleased the elderly were! One of the elderly looked very stern at first but as we clean with joy, his face starts to brightened up!
It is all thanks to the teaching of Heavenly Mother who always teach us to SERVE & GIVE LOVE to the community!
Personally, I think it is extremely meaningful. In a pragmatic society, the contributions of our pioneer generations are often forgotten. But now, you guys are there to celebrate with our past heroes. Keep the good job up!
Without their past contributions to the country, Singapore couldn’t be a country it is today. It is natural for the Church of God in Singapore to give back and practice filial piety as this is one of the teachings of Christ Ahnsahnghong nim and Heavenly Mother! We are honored to have this opportunity to give love to our dear senior citizens in Singapore!💕
Thanks to Father and Mother for hosting this visit to old folk’s home, giving us a chance to shine Their glory in Singapore. Events like this is so meaningful, it’s a way to store up blessings in heaven abundantly!😊
