Not a Christian event, but just helping to promote it.
Yellow Ribbon Project
The Yellow Ribbon Project seeks to help ex-offenders who take responsibility for their own actions and are trying their best to persevere and earn back the trust from their family, friends, colleagues and the community. The Yellow Ribbon Project engages the community to offer second chances to ex-offenders who sincerely want to change.
Some Events Happening
Wear-A-Yellow-Ribbon Activity
The activity seeks to mobilise the community, through the help of CARE Network, aftercare agencies, the Home Team, VWOs and community partners, employers, religious organisations, schools and grassroots organisations, to wear the yellow ribbon during the week from 2 – 9 Oct. Wearing the Yellow Ribbon symbolically displays the community’s support and acceptance towards ex-offenders and their families. Yellow Ribbons would continue to be worn throughout the year at rehab-related events.
Yellow ribbons packs at $1 each will be distributed and proceeds will go towards the Yellow Ribbon Fund, to be set up to fund aftercare programmes as well as prisoners' family and children support programmes.
'Coming Home' - A Community Film
Synopsis
Set in the midst of the Bishan heartlands, 'Coming Home' ties together the stories of three people who have done their time in prison, and are now soon to be released. But coming home may not be as easy as it soundsÂ….
Iggie Chan, 28, an ex-successful copywriter, stabs Muz, his friend, neighbour and business partner in a fit of drunken rage. Remorseful, he has spent the last two years trying to reconcile with Muz. But even time cannot erase the pain and bitterness. With his impending release, how will Iggie face the friend that he had crippled?
James Wong, 38, is an ex-multimillionaire entrepreneur and a family man but lands in prison because of a moment of greed. While inside, his family falls apart and at the same time, a close friend, Alex moves in - not only on his business but his wife and his daughter.Can he come out in time to rescue them all?
Julie Low, 20, is a young, rebellious substance abuser. Her time in prison has only made her even more resentful of her mother who turned her in to the police. Believing that she can make it on her own, Julie revisits her old friends, gets a good job only to realize that the hard time in prison never did unlock her from her personal demons.
Join us in this meaningful event and look out for special appearances made by the cast of the movie at the premiere! The local celebrity cast includes artistes like Irene Ang, Melody Chen and Aaron Aziz among others.

Reading and Understanding your Bible
Workshop for church groups aimed to help individuals understand the Bible for themselves.
The Reading and Understanding Your Bible (RUB) series of workshops is a specially tailored programme intended to help ordinary church members understand the Bible for themselves. Usually only Bible college students receive training in exegetical and hermeneutical skills, while the laity in many churches have little exposure to such disciplines.
These workshops are structured for the typical church goer, providing Christians with techniques of understanding the Bible and comprehending seemingly difficult portion of Scripture, such as the Old Testament prophets.
In addition, the Bible Society is also offering a four-session workshop to train facilitators who would then be equipped to conduct RUB sessions for their own members and small groups in their respective churches.
This FacilitatorsÂ’ Training workshop would be ideally suited for leaders of small groups and ministries, who regularly lead in Bible studies. To qualify for the Facilitators' Training workshop, participants must first complete the RUB Workshop. Upon completion of the Facilitators' Training workshop, each participant would be awarded a certificate that would qualify them to teach the RUB Workshop, if they were to purchase the workbooks." The Scripture Use Facilitator for these workshops is Dr Peggy Yeo.
About the Facilitator:
Dr PEGGY YEO, has worked in a variety of Christian ministries: teaching in a church pre-school and childcare centre (USA); among economically disadvantaged communities (Singapore); teaching in Bible colleges (Singapore and throughout the Asia-Pacific region); doing field research in evangelism and revival movements (Southeast Asia). Most recently, she was with the United Bible Societies as a consultant for training and research in the Asia-Pacific region, and a faculty member with the Biblical Graduate School of Theology in Singapore.
Peggy currently works with the Bible Society in Australia (Victoria), conducting “The Bible from Scratch” (Scratch) and “Reading and Understanding your Bible” (RUB) workshops with various churches and groups at their invitation.
Tentative schedule:
Fri 19 Nov - 7.30pm - 9.30pm: RUB Workshop (Session 1)
Sat 20 Nov - 1.30pm - 7.30pm: RUB Workshop (Session 2-4)
Fri 26 Nov - 1.00pm - 6.30pm: RUB Facilitators' Training Course (Session 1-2)
