3. It is very heartening and encouraging to see organisations like Methodist
Welfare Services serve the poor and needy in our society. As members of the
community, we should do our best to support them and their efforts to continue
helping people in need.
Our contribution need not be anything big or elaborate. It can be as simple as
coming together to play a game of golf.
It is therefore my honour and pleasure to join in this very special celebration
of the 25th anniversary of the MWS Charity Golf Tournament, their mainstay
event.
I wish MWS every success in this event and that everyone will have a very special day. Every
contribution will go a long way in helping the underprivileged in our society.
Enjoy the game and fellowship!

This year, MWS Fellowship on the Greens Charity Golf celebrates its Special
25th Anniversary with thanksgiving. One of the main aims of the event is
to raise funds to help at-risk children and youth, distressed families, and
the elderly, sick, destitute and those with advanced illnesses.
This event also presents an annual opportunity to bring together
Methodists, friends and fellow supporters for fellowship on the greens.
It is the organising committee’s privilege to participate in this annual
event. And on behalf of MWS, the committee would like to thank all
the golfers, donors, sponsors, advertisers, and each of you who played a part, however small,
in putting together this good work as the Lord has commanded us to do (Ephesians 2:10). I also
wish to thank Vincent and all committee members, and not forgetting representatives from
MWS, Pearl and Bernadette, for their faithful service of working together in unity towards one
goal.
By God’s grace, all available flights have been taken up and may God be glorified.
For donating to MWS, and for those still contemplating donating, your donations are eligible
for 2.5 times tax deduction.
Working together for His Glory.
Mr Richard Tan
Chairman, Board of Governance,
Methodist Welfare Services
This is the 25th anniversary of the annual MWS Charity Golf Tournament. Praise
the Lord!
In 1989, the late Dr Tay Eng Soon and the late Mr Edwin Chan founded the
tournament to foster fellowship among Methodists from our various churches.
More than 100 golfers participated in the inaugural event convened by Barker
Road Methodist Church. About $10,000 was raised, and this was kindly donated
to MWS. The event was a huge success, and it soon became established as an
annual event convened by our Methodist churches in turn. We are very grateful
to the various churches which have convened this event over the years.
Through God’s grace, Fellowship on the Greens has grown over the years, and is now the
flagship fund raising event in MWS’ calendar. However, it is more than just a fund raising event.
It is a much valued opportunity for MWS to share its work and ministry directly with Methodists
from all our churches.
This year, we have received overwhelming response for the flight bookings and sincerely thank
each and every one of you for your strong support. It is always encouraging to see our loyal
supporters from the Methodist community, coming together year after year for a day of golf,
fellowship and camaraderie.
Grace Methodist Church has done a marvellous job convening the 25th anniversary of this
tournament, and we are truly grateful for their sacrificial contributions. We are also very grateful
to Dr Tan Cheng Bock for gracing the occasion as our Guest-of-Honour, and also for agreeing to
play his ukulele for us!
On behalf of MWS and the beneficiaries, I thank all participants and sponsors for your generous
support. May all of you enjoy a wonderful day of fun, fellowship and food together!

Grace Methodist Church is privileged to
be the convening church for this year’s
MWS charity golf tournament.
If you have young children, you may
be familiar with a game called ‘Putt Putt
saves the Zoo’. In this game, Putt-Putt, a
little car has to rescue the zoo animals
and return them to Outback Al before
the Zoo’s grand-opening.
Well, perhaps your ‘putting’ may not be as heroic, it
nevertheless will help the many beneficiaries of MWS.
On behalf of GMC, I would like to thank the golfers for
taking time off to participate in this event. We would also
like to thank the churches and donors who have donated
generously.
Although you may think that your generosity isn’t much,
Jesus reminds us that we are doing it for him and that is
what counts, “And the King will answer and say to them,
‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the
least of these My brethren, you did it to me.”
Amen and amen. And may you have a wonderful ‘putting’
time.

4. Since the very first Fellowship on the Greens in 1989, golf
enthusiasts from the Methodist churches of Singapore
have come together every year without fail to help raise
funds for the poor and needy.
2013 is the 25th round of this unique Fellowship through
Golfing, and Methodist Welfare Services celebrates the
highlights and milestones of years past.
Then
What: Flagship fundraiser for MWS
When: 26 April 1989
Who: Founded by the late Dr Tay Eng Soon &
the late Mr Edwin Chan
Convening church: Barker Road Methodist
Church
No. of golfers: 115
Now
What: Main event in MWS calendar
When: 17 July 2013
Convening church: Grace Methodist Church
No. of golfers: 232
This golf tournament’s purpose is expressed
succinctly by Mr Cecil Wong, 90, our long-time
supporter who has played almost every year
since the very first tournament: “The main
idea was to get the members of the various
churches to come together and socialise.”
Like Mr Cecil Wong, many Christian and
non-Christian supporters and sponsors have
united in a spirit of enthusiasm for golf as
well as generosity for our needy beneficiaries,
promising the sustained success of Fellowship
on the Greens year after year.
Indeed, Fellowship on the Greens is now in
a league of its own as a powerful fundraising
and networking platform for Methodists
across Singapore to engage in a meaningful
cause while playing their beloved sport
together.

9. METHODIST WELFARE SERVICES:
Serving with Love &
Compassion…
…the elderly who are poor, isolated, sick, and bedridden…
Mr. Wong*, in his 60’s was diagnosed with
terminal cancer last year. His wife, who is
also ill, is his only care-giver at home. Doctors
and nurses from Agape Methodist Hospice
(Homecare) (AMH) – a community outreach of
Methodist Welfare Services (MWS) – visit him
to provide medical care, manage his pain and
to give comfort to his wife.
MWS has four community outreach services that
care for the elderly who are sick, poor and destitute.
Agape Methodist Hospice (Homecare) provides
palliative home care as well as social and emotional support
for those suffering from end of life illnesses like cancer.
Bethany Methodist Nursing Home houses over 300 elderly residents, 90% of
whom are bedridden. Doctors, nurses and allied health workers provide round-theclock care to ensure their comfort and safety.
Christalite Methodist Home gives shelter and care to about 200 residents who
are aged and destitute. Many have psychiatric illnesses and are wheelchair bound.
Wesley Seniors Activity Centre conducts regular outreach to seniors aged 60
and above, who live in nearby clusters of 2-room rental flats. Engagement is vital to
prevent social isolation and ensure their well-being.
…underprivileged children and youth-at-risk…
Robert* was eight years old when
he attended D’Joy Student Care
Centre, an outreach of Methodist
Welfare Services (MWS). One
day, while eating porridge he
threw a tantrum that lasted for
three hours. He did not like the
porridge, but unlike other children
of his age, he could only vent his
frustrations this way. As he has
Asperger’s syndrome, he could not
express his feelings appropriately.
Our teachers at D’Joy Student Care
Centre take care of many children
like Robert who need extra care
and specialist attention.
MWS has four community outreach services that care for
underprivileged children and youth
D’Joy Childcare and Student Care Centre is located in the Jalan
Besar, providing pre- and after-school care for children from low
income families.
Daybreak Student Care Centre based in Naval Base Primary School
in Yishun, cares for over 50 children after school, providing supervision
for their school work and developing them socially,
physically and emotionally.
Residence @ StGeorge’s is a residential home for
teenage girls aged 16-21 on probation, where
the girls are given a nurturing environment
for transformation and re-integration into
society.
MWS Bursary Programme awards needy
students islandwide with funds to help defray
the cost of school related expenses.
Madam Soh* is a widow working part time as a hawker assistant,
earning about $500 a month. With two school-going children, it
is a real struggle for her to provide for her family. Her home is a
sparsely furnished three room flat and their meals are often plain
noodles and fried eggs. Gloria*, a Methodist befriender on MWS’
Walk With The Poor programme has been visiting Madam Soh for
the past two years, presenting her with a cheque for $100 and
engaging in conversations with her, journeying with her through
ups and downs.
….families in need,
suffering distress,
financial difficulties and
relationship problems…
MWS has five community outreach services that serve the needs of
families.
Covenant Family Service Centre serves the Hougang community,
providing support to families and building resilience.
Daybreak Family Service Centre provides assistance and support to
individuals and families needing assistance in the Yishun area.
Tampines Family Service Centre is located in the eastern region of
Tampines and besides providing assistance to families, also has special
programmes for step-families and couples counselling.
FamilyWorks Community Services addresses a social service gap
in Punggol, tapping on neighbourhood schools to run parenting and
family education programmes and activities.
Walk With the Poor Programme provides financial support and
befriending to over 500 chronically poor families. Methodist church
members visit the families every month to deliver a cash cheque and
offer social support.
