Jesus gave us all His followers a commission, to go make disciples of all nations. As a church, our vision is to be a blessing not just to the community but the nations. That is the focus of the Year of Expansion next year. 

To prepare us for it, the Missions team is organising a Missions Engagement event on 26 October, where they will share more about the Year of Expansion and the initiatives that you, your family and cell group can be involved in. There will also be engaging workshops to equip you for the work ahead. 

Date: Saturday, 26 Oct 2024
Time: 9am-3.30pm
Venue: PLMC Sanctuary

This is valid for first-time enrolments only. Check out their website for details, and also to find out more about the new full-day programme starting at Faith Methodist Preschool. 

Actually, if you are unwell, you should stay home to rest and recover. But if you are NOT feeling unwell and this is just an attack of the “ahems” or “morning nose”, then please wear a mask to allay any fears your fellow worshippers might have. You can get a mask from the ushers if you don’t have one with you.

Kingdomtide starts 25 Aug 2024.

Kingdomtide, known as Ordinary Time in some churches, starts on the last Sunday in August, and is the last season in the Christian calendar. The season’s emphasis is on Christ the King Eternal, and the themes are the Kingdom of God, the Christian life and maturity, and spiritual growth, both personal and corporate. The liturgical colour is green, symbolizing growth and God’s eternal kingdom.
