From Dancers with Special Needs to Senior Drummers and a Children’s Choir: An Inclusive Concert Celebrates Healing and Hope
A journey from darkness to light unfolded through dance, music, and recitals at The Healing Nation Celebratory Concert on 1 November 2025.
Held in celebration of the 140th anniversary of The Methodist Church in Singapore (MCS) and SG60, the 70-minute showcase brought to life stories of struggle, pain, hope, and restoration. A diverse cast of performers took the stage to share this narrative.
Organised by Methodist Welfare Services (MWS), the social concerns arm of MCS, the concert took place at The Star Performing Arts Centre, with President Tharman Shanmugaratnam gracing the event as Guest-of-Honour.
Guests included representatives from charity organisations; the Inter-Religious Organisation, Singapore; the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth; and various Christian denominations. To ensure the concert was accessible to all, members of the Wesley Deaf Ministry provided sign language interpretation throughout.
The concert rounded off a year of activities under The Healing Nation movement – MWS’ nationwide initiative to mobilise 1.4 million volunteer hours and raise $1.4 million to uplift up to 1,000 families and individuals in need.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our supporters for your commitment and generosity. Your partnership strengthens the work of healing and restoration across our communities. Thank you for empowering lives alongside MWS.
