About The Giving Methodist
The Giving Methodist is an initiative to gather and galvanise Methodists to perform acts of love. It takes place during the season of Lent from 6 March to 13 April 2019, a period of reflection for Christians – because giving is part of a life that exemplifies Christ.
The Giving Methodist is spearheaded by the Methodist Church in Singapore, CAC, TRAC and ETAC, and supported by the Social Concerns Arm of the Methodist Church, Methodist Welfare Services.
