HIGHLIGHTS
Continuing with our 90th Anniversary celebration, “Have a Meal on PLMC” aims to bless the hawkers in our community. Located at various coffee shops in Serangoon, Kovan and Hougang, 90 food stalls have partnered with us to each provide 90 meals to the community.
As a family blessed to bless the community and the nations, vouchers will be distributed to our beneficiaries and also to our PLMC worshippers to bless the less fortunate and their friends as they redeem a meal from the participating hawker stalls. “Have a Meal on PLMC” will commence in August and redemption will end on 31 December.
Pray during the week about who God is leading you to bless with a meal. And then collect the vouchers at the Contact Point next Sunday (21 Aug). Scan the QR code to find out more.

THE CHRISTIAN CALENDAR - PENTECOST
Pentecost celebrates the giving of the Holy Spirit as the Paraclete / Advocate and the birth of the Church. Coming 50 days after Easter, the season’s liturgical colour is red, symbolizing the Holy Spirit’s fire and the blood of the martyrs. Pentecost focuses on the gift and the work of the Holy Spirit, and the themes include God’s community (the Church), the gifts and fruits of the Spirit, and spreading the Gospel.
