Let us unite in prayer.
Our heavenly Father, our very present help, there is much anxiety, fear and uncertainty brought about by the pandemic, global tensions, violence and climate change.
Help us Your children to stand firm in our faith knowing that You are in full control of every situation.
Help us seize every opportunity to bring Your message of hope and comfort and to lend a helping hand to our church family, the community and the nations.
Comfort those who have lost loved ones and those whose livelihoods have been affected.
Help those suffering from loneliness, mental and emotional strain as they cope with lockdowns and quarantine measures.
Lord, have mercy on countries like India which are bearing the brunt of the pandemic.
Have mercy also on Singapore and help us to remain vigilant and act responsibly to keep ourselves and others safe as we enter another period of heightened restrictions.
May those infected be healed and not be discriminated against.
Once again, thank You, Lord, for all who have worked tirelessly and selflessly to keep us all safe. We pray for Your wisdom and guidance for governments and world leaders handling the crises around the world committing into your hands the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the situation in Myanmar and tension in the South China Sea.
Help the world to acknowledge Your Lordship and realise that only You can help it overcome the current crises!
We look forward to the day when all disease, suffering and death will be no more, and Your promise of peace and goodwill toward mankind will be fully realised.
Thank You for hearing our prayers as we pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.
With the nation in heightened alert in our fight against the virus, 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.
You can email us at pastors@plmc.org or call us at 6100 7562
You can send your prayer requests to prayernet@plmc.org.
The PLMC Inner Healing Ministry helps individuals get to the root of things that are hindering their personal connection with God. This Ministry continues online every second and fourth Tuesday of the month at 7.30pm. Email requests to plihm@plmc.org
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’.
COVID-19 has brought about an unprecedented economic crisis affecting lives and livelihoods. Yet, in every crisis, there is an opportunity to demonstrate Christian love and unity.

SAFE MANAGEMENT MEASURES UPDATE - 14 May 21
In the midst of the pandemic darkness, our Lord exhorts us to be the light of the world, so let us shine brighter for Him even as we know He is in control and over the pandemic.
1. Suspension of Onsite Worship Services
Due to the increased number of community infections and in support of the heightened Safe Management Measures advised by the authorities, Paya Lebar Methodist Church has suspended all onsite worship services with immediate effect until further notice. This means there will not be any English, Mandarin, Peranakan, Filipino or Youth Services from Sunday 16 May 2021. We will review the suspension in line with the advisories from the authorities and will inform you accordingly.
2. Join Us for Online Services
We thank and praise God that we are still able to worship Him as a corporate body online with live streaming of our services. Please join us every Sunday for the live streaming of the 9.00am English Service at live.plmc.org, and the 11.15am Mandarin Service at ms.live.plmc.org.

6. Blessed to Bless
We are a Family Blessed to Bless the Community and the Nations. Let us live out our church vision by (a) praying for one another, the community and the world, (b) blessing those on the frontlines, behind-the-scenes, and those badly affected (eg healthcare and other frontline workers, the poor and needy) with kind words of encouragement, gifts and services.
The Church Office will remain closed until further notice.
Please call 6100 7562 for urgent pastoral assistance.
