7th SUNDAY IN KINGDOMTIDE

The Methodist Church in Singapore usually observes Laity Sunday on the second
Sunday in October. As we here at PLMC have many lay ministries for you to serve
in, we are observing Laity Month instead. This year, we are taking it online. Each week, a few ministries will be featured on PLMC TODAY to showcase what they do, and where you can participate in. Here is the schedule of ministries that will be featured, so that you can look forward to:

•   4 Oct - Silver Boxes; Sonshine Kids; Youth

• 11 Oct - Worship & Music; Creative Expressions; Discipleship & Nurture

• 18 Oct - GYM; Men's Ministry; WSCS; Young Adults

• 25 Oct - Missions; Filipino Service; Outreach

This week, we feature the Worship & Music, Creative Expressions and Discipleship & Nurture Ministries. 

• The Worship & Music (W&M) Ministry oversees and serves the English Services - 9am & (previously 11.15am) Celebration Service. We have a family of volunteers serving as worship leaders & band, musicians, backup singers, choir, music ensemble, ushers, floral stewards, worship flags, and Holy Communion stewards/helpers. 

• The Creative Expressions Ministry provides platforms for those gifted and called to the creative arts ministries to steward these gifts, so that the body of Christ can be encouraged and strengthened through the beauty and divine inspiration of these created works. 

• The Discipleship & Nurture Ministry is committed to helping our members grow in their relationship with and faith in God. We do this through the different courses provided regularly at different levels, reaching out to pre-believers and grounding believers in the faith. 

These ministries are looking for people who have been called to serve, so click here to see how you can!

• Thu & Fri, 19-20 Nov 2020 | 9.30am–5pm; Sat 21 Nov 2020 | 9.30am – 3pm

All the places have been taken and we are looking into the possibility of organising a second course from 17 to 19 Dec 2020.

As we roll out the outreach events for the community and the underprivileged this Christmas, we pray the Lord Jesus be pleased with our worship as we work as a Family at PLMC to bless those He cares for.  We pray that His salvation will be made known to the community through the demonstration of love and power in all that we say and do!

• Pray for good working relationships with our community agencies and partners, that we can work together to bless the community this Christmas.

Children’s Day (PCF Sparkletots, Hope Student Care Centre and Anglican Family Centre)

• This Children’s Day, pray for all the children of PCF Sparkletots, Hope Student Care Centre and Anglican Family Centre whom we serve. May the children grow in wisdom and stature like our Lord Jesus and may they come to know their true destiny and purpose that our Lord Jesus has destined for each of them. May all the staff at the centres continue to be encouraged by the Lord as they pour their lives into building these young ones.

Outreach to Residents at Blk 223A Serangoon Ave 4

• Pray also for more CGs and volunteers to come alongside in building relationship with the families.
