rom 16 to 19 June 2022, the inaugural PLMC Conference saw more than 1,000 attendees at
the English, Mandarin and Children’s Tracks. The Conference was one of the major events in celebration of the 90th Anniversary of Paya Lebar Methodist Church (PLMC). With the theme of “Tapestry - Generations Unbroken”, it featured many prominent and gifted speakers to meet the diverse needs of the attendees. In the spirit of the Conference’s theme and the call for fellowship and communion, the programme included an array of decentralised bonding activities for everyone. The co-chairs of the Organising Committee, Jonathan Lim and Angela Lim, shared about the conference theme and a deliberate move to involve young people in the committee. “At PLMC’s 90th Anniversary, we wanted to honour the different generations in our church. God is the master weaver, and the church is his loom. He weaves his tapestry by uniting believers together in our love for him and his people,” Jonathan said.
“It is our desire that the Conference will be a platform to raise the next generation in our church. These young people are precious gems and we want them to be more engaged in church and establish their roots with the rest of the church family, for church to be relevant to them,” Angela said. Some of the participants were asked what spoke to them most and what their takeaways were. Here are some of their responses: Conference organisers 12 Methodist Message
