Three local congregations in Rome, Italy, namely Nord, Ovest, and Sud, collaborated on a bowling tournament that brought together Buklod, KADIWA, and Binhi members.

The friendly competition held on May 22, 2022, was participated by the brethren and their guests. The brethren in Roma Sud and Roma West used the Bowling Roma Tiam, along the Viale Regina Margherita, Rome, Italy, while the brethren in Roma Nord used Brunswick, a bowling alley sited at Lungotevere dell’Acqua Acetosa, Rome, Italy. The Christian Family Organizations (CFO) officers from the Ecclesiastical District of Italy South supervised the activity.

“The brethren had much fun bonding with their friends and family,” said Brother M-rren Sta. Barbara, a ministerial worker with the Christian families under his care, his own family, and even nonmember relatives who also played some matches.

“My family enjoyed the activity, which served as our family bonding,” said Meverson Talania, a Buklod member. Rizaldy Sta. Barbara, a Buklod member and the organist of Roma Sud, brought guests to the activity.

The occasion provided a delightful opportunity for the brethren from the three congregations to strengthen the bond of brotherhood and give the guests a feel of how Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) members give time to endeavors that all the more make family ties strong. — With reports from INC News Section
