Topping Up Service

Praise be to God! We thank God for having guided the church thus far in the redevelopment of The Port Dickson Methodist Centre (PDMC). It was just about a year and a few days since the ground-breaking on the same land set apart for the building of a training, retreat and camp site known as the PDMC, back in July 2011. The topping up service is held for putting up the cross on the roof top of an open air chapel, Pavilion.

Bishop Hwa Yung accompanied by Daniel Lim, the Chairman of PDMC Task Force and Rev. Paul Christie, pastor in charge of Wesley Methodist Church Seremban hosted the ceremony.

The ceremony began with singing of hymns at the dining hall. Around 60 people came. This included Rev. Philip Siew (Nilai CMC), Rev. Ng Kok Soon (Port Dickson CMC), Pastor Ronald Yap (Seremban WMC) and members from the churches nearby to witness the ceremony. A tractor was used at the Pavilion to lift bishop to the rooftop. Then he said a prayer and put the cross.

The centre with 6 blocks of hostels is able to accommodate 460 people. The choices of rooms are Studio Units, Twin Rooms and 6-bedded dormitory. Each room is attached with a toilet. The dormitory rooms have two toilets each. The centre also offers rental for conference halls and catering The construction work is now 50% completed and projected to be fully operational on beginning of 2013.
