Life in PLMC told through the eyes of worshippers and staff. In this issue, a participant in the recent Art & Christian Worship workshop shares her insights, and a Silver Boxes leader, who is also a mother of a young child, shares her testimony of being Blessed to be a Blessing in a Season of Covid-19.

Have you been wanting to disciple your child at home, but feel clueless about how to start? Check out the Silver Boxes Parents’ Portal website for our very own weekly mid-week discipling packages at www.plmcsilverboxes.wordpress.com. Parent’s Guides and resources included.

We take this opportunity to thank Rev Alex Chew for his service and contribution to PLMC and speed him on with our prayers as he takes up his new appointment at Living Waters Methodist Church.

2020 has been a trying year for all as a result of the suffering and loss brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. Nevertheless,

1 Thessalonians 5:18 exhorts us to Give thanks in every circumstance and so, let's take some time to reflect and thank God for His blessings and for seeing us through the bad times.

Some things we should continue to pray for as we look forward to the new year:

• For the good news of salvation to reach even more people.

• For our church that we will bear much fruit as we continue to bless one another, the community and the nations.

• For guidance for the 90th Anniversary Organising Committee as it begins to plan for PLMC 90^th ANNIVERSARY celebrations in 2022.

• That God, in His mercy, will bring an end to the pandemic in spite of reports of a new highly infectious strain of the virus and the number of infections in the world surpassing the 75 million mark.

• That we may embrace change as we adapt to the new normal.

• For ourselves that we may continue to walk in faith and obedience bringing honour and glory to God.

Blessed Christmas and New Year to all. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing and give thanks in all circumstances.

We praise and thank God that the daily infections of COVID-19 have been coming down in our nation. Never-the-less, we understand that there are some of us who are not coping as well as others, and there may 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.
