June Update
Dear wonderful PMCH family,
June is one of my favourite months, not just because it’s my birthday tomorrow (Galaxy is my favourite chocolate if you were wondering) but also because the days are warmer, brighter, and the cricket season is well underway.
It’s also a significant month for us as a church. Pentecost, which we celebrate this year on June 08, reminds us of the birth of the Church and the fire of the Holy Spirit that empowered the first apostles. At the time of writing, we’re preparing to baptise six people during the morning service and to welcome new members into our church family. I'm very excited about this. These are real signs of God's continued faithfulness among us, even as we’ve navigated some testing times over the past year.
I’m so thankful for each and every one of you. Your presence, prayers, and participation enrich the life of PMCH in countless ways.
Why not take a moment today to thank God for something you’ve seen Him do, in your life or in the life of our church? And let’s also ask Him to stir up fresh expectations for what He may want to do in the months to come.
With every blessing
Jonny
What’s coming up in June
Morning Sermon Series
We have begun a new series at our morning services, tracing the incredible story of Joseph from betrayal to blessing. Through dreams, injustice, and restoration, we'll see how God's sovereign plan unfolds in every circumstance. We hope that through this series you will be encouraged by God's purpose in life's highs and lows. The series will run until Sunday 03 August. If you would like to read ahead of Sunday, the readings can be viewed HERE and you can catch up by watching the last few morning services on YouTube
Thy Kingdom Come | 29 May - 08 June 2025
We have once again joined the global ecumenical prayer movement called “Thy Kingdom Come” that invites Christians around the world to pray from Ascension Day to Pentecost for God’s renewing power to come to His Church and for more people to come to know Jesus. Specifically, each and every Christian is invited to pray that God’s Spirit might work in the lives of 5 people who have not responded with their “yes” to God’s call.
At PMCH we are focussing our prayers daily between 29 May and 8 June in the Prayer Chapel which will be open during office hours on weekdays. We would love to encourage all of you to take part in some way, to come and pray for an hour in the Prayer Chapel in person, or if that’s too difficult, to allocate a time to pray at home.
Prayer Journals are available from PMCH or you can can download a PDF version and find out more HERE. There are also some useful resources on the Thy Kingdom Come website - www.thykingdomcome.global
Healing Service | Sunday 01 June 7pm
The evening service on Sunday June 01 will focus on prayer for healing. As we remember the depth and power of God’s love for us in Jesus in this quiet, reflective communion service it is a wonderful opportunity to share in prayer together; to bring our hurt and anxiety, our sickness and struggles and to seek God’s forgiveness, healing and comfort.
Prayer Meeting | Wednesday 04 June 7:30pm | PMCH
Our monthly meeting falls right in the middle of our Ten Days of Prayer with Thy Kingdom Come. We will meet in the Prayer Chapel and there will be a short time of worship alongside time to pray for the renewing of God’s church, this city and our nation.
Quiz & Cream Tea | Saturday 28 June 6pm | Discovery Café
We’d love you to join us in our planned Annual Celebration in the Discovery Cafe on Saturday 28 June at 6pm. Michael Hardie from TLM will update us on the work, we’ll have a Malc Halliday Quiz and Cream Tea will be served during the evening. Suggested donation £5 | Book HERE or visit PMCH Office

Newquay Camp | 11-13 July 2025
Our Newquay camp has been running for many years and is a great time with all the young people from PMCH youth (11-18 year olds). We stay in tents at a campsite and enjoy a whole field to ourselves. The weekend is very much a relaxing time enjoying the local beaches and spending time together building friendships. We will also have some sessions exploring the Christian faith, with opportunities for discussions. Click HERE to book or visit pmch.org.uk/youth
