The 40-day devotional to help us with our prayer and devotional life during Lent is posted in PLMC TODAY every Saturday from 25 Feb to 9 Apr.

As the first Wed in Apr falls during Holy Week, there will not be a Corporate Prayer Meeting. Instead, we would like to encourage all of you to come for our Maundy Thursday Holy Communion Service and partake of the Lord’s Supper together as a church family.

Silver Boxes

1. We thank God for the teams who are planning for the Easter Special Progamme that will be held on 9 April. We pray that each child will encounter Jesus and His love and accept Him as Lord and Saviour and follow Him. May the Lord lead each child to be a shining beacon for Him and that they will in turn lead others to Jesus.

2. Pray for the planning of the Mother's Day Programme in May. We pray that the children's mothers will be blessed and that they will be encouraged and honoured by their children.
   
   

Sonshine Kids

1. We thank God for the Young Adult Team who is planning for the Easter Programme on 8 April.  We pray that each child will know the meaning of Easter and embrace Jesus as Lord and Saviour and make Him known.

2. Pray for more children to join us at Sonshine Kids as we reach out to the community kids.

1. Reclaiming John Wesley’s Class System (Methodist Class & Bands)

Let us continue to pray and commit Bishop Emeritus Wee Boon Hup and the participants in this 4-session course, which started on 18 Mar, that God will fill them with the knowledge of His will, revelation & understanding.

2. Alpha Course, Disciple 1 & Disciple 4 Courses

We give thanks to God for the ongoing and engaging participation of those who have joined these courses, always praying that their faith be established, their hearts be strengthened, and their discipleship journey be encouraged, through this learning community. Let us continue to pray that they be found faithful & helped in the Lord.

3. Baptism & Membership Class

We praise God for the many who have decided to take a deeper step in their Christian walk by signing up for the above taking place from end Apr. We continue to pray for those making the decision to do so, as well as a smooth preparation for the sessions.

4. Journey of Intimacy & Discipleship in Season of Lent

May we take this period in Lent to be reminded of His love for us, and to respond to Him in total surrender and faithful discipleship. Let us pray for God to speak to us as we read and ponder over the 40 Days of Prayer Devotional as a Church, as well as to wait upon Him and intercede for others.

Pray that our FS worshippers who struggle to attend the cell group meetings online, will join our onsite new cell group & Bible study on 3rd and 4th Sundays.  Also, pray for those who struggle to attend service both onsite and online due to heavy work demands.

1. Father Heart of God Retreat

Pray for God’s wisdom to be upon the planning committee as they look into the program and logistic arrangements.  Pray for the speaker, Ps Joseph Chean .  Ask for God’s protection upon him and his family,  that there will be fresh revelation and deeper insight as he waits upon the Lord.

2. Alpha Course

We thank God for a dedicated team. Praise God for those who have responded to the gospel and are ready for baptism.  Continue to pray for the rest of the participants that they will have deeper and personal encounters with  God, growing in the knowledge of Him.
