CONFIRMATION SERVICE
- 25 April 2021 -
Eastertide begins on Easter Sunday, and Christ the Resurrected and Living Lord is emphasised, along with the themes of rebirth, new life, and victory over sin and death. It is a season of great celebration throughout Christendom, and the liturgical colour of white symbolises purity and this celebratory mood. Christ’s ascension is celebrated 40 days after Easter on Ascension Day.

PRAYER FOCUS
GENERAL
Continue to pray as our church prepares for the 40 days of blessings. Pray for guidance for Pastor Vincent and his team as they work on the details of the event. May the Lord continue to shower each one of us with His blessings so we may bless one another, the community and the nations.
Pray for Singapore that our next Prime Minister and leader will be God’s choice.
Territorial disputes and tensions around the world may potentially lead to war. Let us pray without ceasing for governments and leaders to put aside selfish ambitions and work wisely together to bring peace to all.
Thank God that the Covid-19 pandemic in Singapore is under control. However, let us not let our guard down and do what is necessary to keep safe as the virus rages around us. Pray that God in His mercy will bring an end to the pandemic.
CARE & HEAL
PASTORAL CARE
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.
You can email us at pastors@plmc.org or call us at 6285 1234
Please send your prayer requests to prayernet@plmc.org.
PLMC INNER HEALING MINISTRY
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 (English & Chinese)
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.

Chinese version : MSCAREHUB.PLMC.ORG
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’.
