HIGHLIGHTS
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. Look out for our announcement next week!
If restrictions are eased, and you are led to celebrate Christmas with invited guests in your home, we are preparing a Christmas Celebration Kit that you can use to create an environment for meaningful conversations during the celebration. The kit will have carols, a recorded Christmas message by a pastor, and conversation starters.
Watch this space for when we launch the Kit!
Has this long drawn pandemic resulted in stress, loneliness and even brokenness? Would you like someone to talk to, or to journey with you?
Care Hub was 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’.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Now that Laity Month is over, and you’ve had the opportunity to hear from all the ministries, it’s time for ACTION. Ask the Lord to lead you to a ministry (or two!) where you can serve Him and His people. Then choose to obey. Because blessing the community can start with serving in the ministries. Opportunities to Serve can be found here

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.
