11th SUNDAY IN KINGDOMTIDE/
TRAC Conference Sunday

We will be celebrating Holy Communion as a PLMC Family on Sunday 6 Dec 2020, Thursday 31 Dec 2020 (Watchnight Service) and Sun 3 Jan 2021. Please do not use your own bread and juice for the Holy Communion. Instead, please register to collect the individually sealed Holy Communion elements from church (Car Park Drive Through or Fellowship Hall) on:

• Sun 29 Nov, 1.00pm-3.00pm

• Fri 4 Dec, 6.00pm-8.00pm

• Sat 5 Dec, 2.00pm-6.00pm

Registration will begin on 15 Nov 2020.

This Advent, even as we anticipate and prepare for God’s greatest gift to us in the Infant Jesus, we have a gift of love for you – a 3-ply mask with our PLMC logo on it. Coming in Large (15cm high), Medium (13.5cm high) and Kids sizes, we will be distributing them with the Holy Communion cups. Please register together with the Holy Communion cups from 15 Nov 2020. Please understand that no request for exchange will be entertained due to hygiene issues.

Eating is one of the most common and most profound ways by which we relate with each other, to the created world, and to God. Indeed, Jesus Christ left a meal for his followers to remember Him by. And yet many Christians think little about the food they eat: where did it come from; or the meals they share, such as who prepared the meal. Eating together can also be a profound act of hospitality, and therefore a means of reaching out to others. In this session, we shall address some of these issues from Scripture so that we can live more fully and wholly in God’s ways. We will also explore ways that we can eat with others as gracious hosts so as to invite them into the Kingdom of God.

Life in PLMC told through the eyes of worshippers and staff. In this issue, the guys from the Men's Ministry roll up their sleeves and get on with the dirty work.

• Pray for the various Christmas Outreach planning committees. As we roll out the outreach events for the community and the underprivileged this Christmas, we pray for God’s favour and that the Lord Jesus will 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 and all the beneficiaries through the demonstration of love and power in all that we say and do as we organise and host these events!

• We thank God for the many cell groups and individuals who have availed themselves to serve in various capacities at the various Christmas Outreach events. Pray for good health, supernatural strength and exceeding joy for all volunteers.

• Pray for favour with authorities and partners as we plan and work out the logistics. Pray also for God to provide all the resources we need.

• Pray that God will prepare the hearts of all the residents and beneficiaries. That all will come to encounter Christ’s Gift of Love and Hope this Christmas.

Thank you for your partnership in prayer! 

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.
