Youth Leading Sunday’s Contemporary Worship

 

Every third Sunday, the Board of Elders designed our worship service in a contemporary format. Our youth provides music using guitar and piano for songs that are close to their hearts. With the leadership of Junjun Rivera, Cloy Pal, sisters Alfa and Faye Manigsaca Garcia the whole congregation joins in giving praise and honor to Jesus, the risen Christ.

Music Ministry

 

In their report to the Church Council, the Board of Elders presented the coordinating lines in doing our task as a congregation. They agreed that the Music Ministry is coordinated by Michael Dadap with the assistance of Rachel, our Choir Director. Music is one of the God-given gifts where we are strong and we intend to make it stronger so that we can offer our best to the Lord. We look forward to the Canata in Christmas and Lent but most of all to enhance the worship experience on Sundays through well planned and selected music consistent with the given theme. Offertory music will be lined up featuring local talents and invited guests. If you have suggestions and concerns related to music ministry, Elder Michael Dadap is the person to contact.

Christian Education and Nurture

 

One of the exciting things that are going on in our life is the nurturing programs for all levels. We have seasoned teachers in our Sunday Schools – Ms. Leofe Ramos-Sitoy, Ms. Faye Manigsaca Garcia and Ms. Laura Malaki-Lambert. Sunday Schools starts at 12:30 and ends at 1:15. Adult lessons are also conducted on the same hour. As we grow coordinating task is also important, the Board of Elders assigned one of its members, Eva Tubo to oversee this area of ministry. The Elders encourages everybody to make use of the Daily Devotions posted in our website. Please keep in touch with Eva on matters relating to Education and Nurturing Programs.

Our daily devotional material, which we associate with the mustard seed in Jesus parable, is also a blog page. Like a seed planted on the soil, it is our prayer that God's Word will grow in us as we nurture it in our hearts. Allow the seed to germinate. Your reflections and responses are welcome.

Past Daily Devotions are archived at the bottom of the Sermons page.
