8th SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

We are observing Pledge Sunday on 2 Aug 2020. As we are unable to submit physical pledge cards this year, we have created an electronic pledge card so that we can still observe this very important aspect of our Worship to the Lord.

Please read the Budget Letter and submit the e-Pledge Card here:

• Saturday 22 August 2020 | 10am – 11.30am

• Speaker: Ps Matthew Tan

The Bible says in Mark 16:17, that “these signs shall follow them that believe.” One of the signs is that of physical healing. The ministry of healing is not just reserved for the minister; it is for all Christians. This online training by Ps Matthew Tan of Grace AG seeks to define, demystify and demonstrate the ministry of healing. Attendees will watch a series of videos and a live Q&A session with the trainer will be arranged online.

Matthew Tan has an evangelistic ministry that is often accompanied by divine healing. Through his ministry he seeks to raise up ordinary church members to exercise their authority in Christ with confidence, love and skill, for the purpose of power evangelism.

To stand in solidarity with the government’s efforts to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus, the church office will remain closed in Phase 2 of the re-opening after the Circuit Breaker until further notice. Worship services and activities like teaching classes, cell meetings, spiritual direction, counselling, and social, worship or prayer gatherings are still prohibited onsite, but are encouraged to continue online. We will continue to monitor the advisories from the government and will update you through PLMC Updates when there are any changes. In the meantime, please look out for the various online offerings by the various ministries here in PLMC TODAY.

Due to Covid-19 constraints, this year’s 40.Day prayer guide will be published online at LoveSingapore’s website http://www.lovesingapore.org.sg/. The prayer entries will be made available one day at a time starting from July 1.

This year’s theme is In the Long Run, a listening journey based on the book of Hebrews.

In the first century AD and continues to this day, a highly contagious disease that is more sinister and deadly
 than Covid-19. It’s called the Pandemic of Casual Christianity.

Let’s take this journey of prayer (with fasting if possible) together with other brothers and sisters in the Body of Christ in Singapore.

Care Hub is formed to support and journey alongside our members / worshippers whose lives and livelihoods have been affected by this crisis. The end goal of Care Hub is pastoral care, for someone to journey with them and remind them they are beloved of God and to find strength in God to face the challenges.

As each individual has different needs, Care Hub serves as a one-stop helpline where an individual can obtain support in the church in various areas. If you have been affected by this crisis, Care Hub is here to support you.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need to be a worshipper at PLMC to obtain help for Care Hub?

As long as you have been worshipping with us, either on-site or online, you are welcome to obtain help from Care Hub. We seek to journey with you as a family of faith during, and beyond, the COVID-19 period.

2. Is it compulsory for a Care Befriender to journey with me?

Yes, it is. We are not designed to journey alone. The church is the Body of Christ and each of us is a part of the body. Having a Care Befriender in this journey is to experience the community and interdependence of our Triune God. God is never alone; we need others too.

3. How long will the Care Befriender journey with me?

Each person has a different journey. Each journey is unique. In general, the Care Befriender will journey with you 3 – 6 months. Let these be a meaningful journey of deepening in God through the company of another.

4. Can I request for pastor to be my spiritual mentor/counsellor?

Yes, you can make the request, but we are all called to be a priesthood of believers hence most likely a mature believer will be assigned to journey with you. Trust that it is God’s hand that has led you thus far, and He will ensure that you are mentored or counselled by the right person with the necessary spiritual gifts for you.

5. I am not affected by COVID-19 but I need someone to talk to. Do I send my request through Care Hub?

No, Care Hub specifically caters to those who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and its ramifications. Please contact the relevant ministry that caters to your need directly. Contact details can be found at the end of this site, under ‘Our Ministries’.

With the nation still facing daily infections of COVID-19, we understand that there will be anxiety, frustration, sadness, anger, helplessness and a whole slew of other emotions. As your pastors, we want you to know that we are here for you.
