Share with us what God has done in and through you at testimonies@plmc.org

2024 Year of Engagement, on Palm Sunday, our church family came together to bless our Lor Ah Soo, Serangoon & Woodleigh community. Over 100 cells with 1,000 members, reached over 800 households, sharing more than 1,000 bags of our blessing and love!

A week after, we saw new faces in church on Easter, and many also came forward to give their lives to Jesus!

We hope more of you will join us in our next Block Blessing at Christmas, and we continue to pray that the seeds of good news be sown, watered, and the harvest of our nation be reaped!
