HIGHLIGHTS 

MARRIAGE PREPARATION COURSE 2024

The PLMC Marriage Preparation Course is designed to provide valuable insights for couples as they navigate their journey towards marriage. This course facilitates a deeper understanding of their relationship with each other and covers a number of topics important to a successful marriage.


This course is based on and uses the materials of The Marriage Preparation Course (published by Alpha International) which was developed by Nicky and Sila Lee who are on staff at Holy Trinity Brompton, London, UK.  Besides viewing the video teaching by Nicky & Sila each week, there are also live speaker sessions, couple discussion time and sharing with other participants in small groups.

 

Topics covered during the course include a Biblical perspective on marriage, effective communication, the importance of commitment, conflict resolution strategies, couple’s goals and values, maintaining a vibrant love and dealing with finances.

 

In addition, there's a Prepare/Enrich couple assessment that seeks to help the couple leverage on their strengths and build upon their growth areas for a stronger marriage. A designated facilitator will help couples apply the findings to their relationship.

3RD SUNDAY IN ADVENT - JOY

This Sunday, we light the third candle, the Mary candle which symbolizes Joy. After receiving God’s message from Angel Gabriel that she would bear His son conceived by the Holy Spirit, and receiving blessings from her cousin, Elizabeth, Mary sings in Luke 1:46-49, “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour, for He has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me — holy is His name.”


May we, too, consider it all joy to do His will, no matter how afraid or unprepared we may be.
