CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS BY BLESSING
Christmas is a season where hearts are most open to receive the blessing of Jesus through God’s people. So why not seize the moment and seek the leading of the Holy Spirit to be a blessing this Christmas.
If you missed the 40 Days of Blessing earlier this year, perhaps the Lord is leading you into your own Project Safe Place. Some possibilities include joining our Outreach Ministry to bless the community around PLMC.
With Covid restrictions eased, you may be led to celebrate Christmas with invited guests in your home, so we have prepared a Christmas Home Celebration Kit that you can use to create an environment for meaningful conversations during the celebration. The kit has carols, a recorded Christmas message by a pastor, and conversation starters.

COMPANIONS IN CHRIST : A SMALL GROUP EXPERIENCE IN SPIRITUAL FORMATION
CIC offers small groups a powerfully transforming experience in opening yourself to God’s presence and guidance over 28 weeks.
It will take you on a journey to:
· explore classic ways of meditating on Scripture, learn to listen to God through it and allow your life to be shaped by the Word;
· experience new dimensions of prayer, try fresh ways of opening to God and learn what it means to practice the presence of God;
· reflect on God’s call in your life and discover anew the gifts that God is giving you for living out your personal ministry;
· to grow together as a Christian community and learn how small groups in the church are to be settings for spiritual guidance.
Who will benefit from joining CIC?
· Christians who are wondering if there is “more” to the Christian life than what they already know.
· Christians who desire to bring a deeper dimension to their faith. Christians who desire and are serious about deepening their relationship with God.
· Christians who long for a safe small group to share their journey of faith and committed to growing together.
· Cell group leaders, assistant or potential leaders.

OUTREACH CHRISTMAS COMMUNITY BLESSINGS
As part of Celebrate Christmas By Blessing, you can continue your 40DOB Project Safe Place by partnering Outreach in the Christmas Blessings to the Community. Pray about whether you would like to join us in bringing the Message of Hope to our friends in the Community and, through the works that we do in various places, allow God to begin restoring his image in them. Email us at outreach@plmc.org if you find yourself led to join us in one or more of the following activities:
1. Blk 223A Serangoon Ave 4. We shall be distributing special Christmas food and Christmas gifts to the families who live in this rental block on the morning of 18 Dec 2021.
2. Blks 201-210 Serangoon Central. We will partner with Braddell Heights CCC to deliver essential food items and dry rations to the needy families in this block. We will also be delivering special Christmas gifts to these families. This activity is tentatively scheduled to take place on 18 Dec 2021 afternoon.
3. Migrant Workers Christmas Party. Depending on the prevailing national situation and the restrictions that come with it, we plan to host a Christmas Party for our migrant worker friends either in Church or at the Shaw Road dormitory. We will bless our migrant worker friends with a good meal, a Christmas story session, games, and Christmas gifts. This event is scheduled to take place in the evening 19 Dec 2021.
PLMC CONFERENCE 2022 (16 to 19 Jun 2022)
Next year, instead of a Church Camp, we’re doing things differently with a Church Conference. It will have many speakers to meet the diverse needs of the participants, to address the challenges ahead in a post-COVID world.
The theme of the Conference is Generations Unbroken - with God as our master weaver, weaving our multigenerational church together and is part of our 90th Anniversary celebrations. Please save the dates - 16 to 19 Jun 2022.
We have a video clip Introducing the logo that will be used across all our 90th anniversary celebration events. It shows many threads woven together to form God’s grand design of a beautiful tapestry. The rationale behind the logo will be revealed in the weeks to come on the PLMC Conference IG page here: @plmc_conference
