In this Year of Empowerment, we know that unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labour in vain. So even as we seek to enable ourselves, we must first seek the Lord in prayer, worship and devotion, which we will do as a church from 1 Mar to 9 Apr. 

We have prepared a 40-day devotional to help us with our prayer and devotional life during Lent. The devotions will be posted in PLMC TODAY every Saturday from 25 Feb onwards. We have a limited number of printed copies for those who have difficulty reading the devotions online which will be available for collection from the Church Reception from 25 Feb onwards and at the Fellowship Hall on Sun 26 Feb.

We will come together as a church to pray every Wed in Mar, 8pm, Sanctuary. Come and be empowered!

In this Lent season, come away to have a quiet day with the Lord in prayer. You will be guided into a time of listening and contemplating on Jesus in His humanity. It will be an opportunity for the Lord to empower you as you draw near to Him and fix your eyes upon Him. The day will be spent at a leisurely pace in the tranquil environment of a retreat centre.

Organised by TRAC, Trackers is a 3-month discipleship programme for young people between the ages of 17 and 25 designed to them to the richness of the Christian faith. They will learn to sit at the feet of Jesus through daily devotions and the lecture phase, bless others through both overseas and local missions, and be challenged to live a life wholly surrendered to Jesus.

PLMC has sent 9 youths to participate in the Trackers programme this year.

Our Trackers are seeking to raise funds for the mission trips where 4 different groups of youth go to Cebu, Laguna, Nepal and Siem Reap to do the work God has sent them to do, trusting that God will provide for this journey that He is calling them on. Please give generously to support their mission journey by scanning the QR code.

Have you ever wondered why the pulpit cloth changes colours and has different symbols on it each time it is changed? Do the words “Advent”, “Epiphany” and “Kingdomtide” mean anything to you?

The Liturgical or Church Year is broken into seasons, starting from Advent and ending with Kingdomtide. It is a traditional way to remember and observe the various aspects of the life of Christ and His Church that has been used since the early days of Christianity. Each season has its own colour and symbols that serve as visual mnemonics. 

The season of Epiphany in the Church Calendar follows after Christmastide. Epiphany, meaning “revelation” or “manifested”, refers to the revelation of the Christ to the Gentiles as symbolised by the Magi, and, therefore, to all the peoples of the Earth. Epiphany focuses on Jesus’ early life, His baptism, and the wedding feast at Cana. The themes are on renewal and missions. The season’s colour is green, the symbol of growth, spring and new life. Epiphany is from 6 January to Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of Lent.
