Praying Scripture – Leviticus 20:8
Keep my decrees and follow them.
I am the LORD, who makes you holy.
Living Scripture - Psalm 24:3
Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD?

The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not trust in an idol

CFOT was pleased to welcome special guests Colonels Floyd and Tracey Tidd to our In Sunday on January 22, 2012.
The focus of their message was “Hope” and cadets and officers shared stories of life situations that may have seemed hopeless but which eventually brought them to know hope.
This In Sunday was also blessed by the attendance of our Field Based Training cadets – Peck-Ee Wong and Leonard Heng, and Kim and Darryl Burry (and their family).
