The Prophetic Art Ministry seeks to communicate the heart of God authentically through the visual arts, mainly focusing on Outreach.

Even during the pandemic, the Prophetic Art Ministry was involved in art projects for the church, community and the mission field. We are very encouraged by the response from the community and the church.

This year, the ministry resumed on-site activities and has just concluded a successful series of introductory workshops on Prophetic Art. Some of the artists participated in platform painting at our PLMC 90th Anniversary Services.

On Sunday 2 Oct, 10am to 2pm, the ministry will present their 3^rd Prophetic Art Exhibition at the Jordan Hall entitled “Generations”.

All are welcome!

You may collect the Holy Communion elements on the following dates and times:

• Sunday 25 Sep, 8am to 1pm, Fellowship Hall

From Sun 25 Sep, WSCS, in collaboration with Cell Ministry, is re-opening the Breakfast Counter at the Fellowship Hall from 8.15am to 9am. Freewill offerings will be collected and donated to a designated charity.

PLMC is called to be a family blessed to bless the community and the nations. With increasing ministry opportunities and the clear call to extend God’s kingdom, we are looking to expand our staff team. So, if you feel led by the Lord and want to be part of what God is doing in and through PLMC, we have opportunities for you to serve on our staff team.

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.
