HIGHLIGHTS 

MARRIAGE PREPARATION COURSE 2024

The PLMC Marriage Preparation Course is designed to provide valuable insights for couples as they navigate their journey towards marriage. This course facilitates a deeper understanding of their relationship with each other and covers a number of topics important to a successful marriage.


This course is based on and uses the materials of The Marriage Preparation Course (published by Alpha International) which was developed by Nicky and Sila Lee who are on staff at Holy Trinity Brompton, London, UK.  Besides viewing the video teaching by Nicky & Sila each week, there are also live speaker sessions, couple discussion time and sharing with other participants in small groups.

 

Topics covered during the course include a Biblical perspective on marriage, effective communication, the importance of commitment, conflict resolution strategies, couple’s goals and values, maintaining a vibrant love and dealing with finances.

 

In addition, there's a Prepare/Enrich couple assessment that seeks to help the couple leverage on their strengths and build upon their growth areas for a stronger marriage. A designated facilitator will help couples apply the findings to their relationship.

PLEASE WEAR A MASK IF YOU ARE COUGHING OR SNIFFLING

Actually, if you are unwell, you should stay home to rest and recover. But if you are NOT feeling unwell and this is just an attack of the “ahems” or “morning nose”, then please wear a mask to allay any fears your fellow worshippers might have. You can get a mask from the ushers if you don’t have one with you.

THE CHRISTIAN CALENDAR - EPIPHANY

Have you ever wondered why the pulpit cloth changes colours and has different symbols on it each time it is changed? Do the words “Advent”, “Epiphany” and “Kingdomtime” mean anything to you?

The Liturgical or Church Year is broken into seasons, starting from Advent and ending with Kingdomtide. It is a traditional way to remember and observe the various aspects of the life of Christ and His Church that has been used since the early days of Christianity. Each season has its own colour and symbols that serve as visual mnemonics. 

The season of Epiphany in the Church Calendar follows after Christmastide. Epiphany, meaning “revelation” or “manifested”, refers to the revelation of the Christ to the Gentiles as symbolised by the Magi, and, therefore, to all the peoples of the Earth. Epiphany focuses on Jesus’ early life, His baptism, and the wedding feast at Cana. The themes are on renewal and missions. The season’s colour is green, the symbol of growth, spring and new life. Epiphany is from 6 January to Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of Lent.
