In line with the aspiration of the Executive Minister of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ), Brother Eduardo V. Manalo, that all members of the Church continue pleasing the Lord God, a special worship service of the officers of the Christian Family Organizations (CFO) was held on June 21, 2025, at the Local Congregation of Cubao, Ecclesiastical District of Central. Brother Angelo Eraño V. Manalo, the Church’s Deputy Executive Minister, led the said special occasion, which was also witnessed by brethren in more than 200 venues worldwide through livestreaming.
The said worship service began with the officers’ prayer, led by Brother Marlone Balason. After the heartfelt singing of hymns, Brother Joji Crisostomo led the congregation in their prayer to God. Then, Brother Angelo Manalo conducted his Bible-based preaching.
In his homily, he reminded the brethren on the importance of fulfilling their sworn duties to God. He emphasized that, as Church officers, they should have a special concern towards the brethren who are entrusted to their care, so that they may also please God.
Moreover, Brother Angelo stressed on the importance of always doing what is good before the sight of God, so that those whom He called to become Church officers will all the more be effective in fulfilling their divine duties.
Most importantly, Brother Angelo reminded the brethren that God is always ready to help them, as long as they always excel in the works for the Lord, as part of their promise to Him when they took their oath as officers in the Church.
After the preaching of God’s teachings, Brother Angelo led the congregation in their solemn prayer to God. Brother Reynaldo Arizala Jr. said the offertory prayer, and the benediction was said by Brother Angelo Eraño V. Manalo.
On June 14, 2025, Brother Angelo Eraño V. Manalo led the dedication to God of the newly-built house of worship of the Local Congregation of Skyline, Ecclesiastical District of CAMANAVA—marking the first time he officiated at such a solemn event as Deputy Executive Minister of the Church.
The construction of the 420-seater house of worship, which majestically stands along Venus Street, Skyline Subdivision, Brgy. Veinte Reales in Valenzuela City, took two years and five months to complete.
Following the opening prayer led by Brother Erman T. Bendicio was Brother Edwil D. Zabala’s reading of the congregation’s history.
During his sermon, Brother Angelo Manalo emphasized from the Bible how true Christians can maintain a life pleasing to God amidst the evil that abounds in the world. Such is a call to action of utmost urgency considering that Judgment Day is truly near.
The Deputy Executive Minister then went on to elaborate on how Church members can practice a behavior that pleases God. To resist evil, they must strive to conduct their lives based on God’s teachings they receive through the Church Administration, primarily during worship services. These should be reflected in every aspect of their daily lives for them to be able to lead a life that honors the gospel and the Lord God.
Even during these trying and decadent times, God’s people can uphold a righteous way of living, Brother Angelo Manalo pointed out. He exhorted the attendees to trust in the Almighty God by continuously holding their devotional prayers to Him, be it individually or with their respective households. Being His true servants, they must have confidence that God will respond to their pleas—provided that they obey Him without any reservations or doubt.
Brother Ralph D. Esguerra led the prayer after the preaching. Brother Joji S. Crisostomo led the prayer for the voluntary offerings. Concluding the gathering, Brother Angelo Manalo said the benediction.
Brethren from the Local Congregation of Templo Central, Ecclesiastical District of Central, received a great spiritual blessing as they attended a worship service officiated by Brother Angelo Eraño V. Manalo, five days after taking his oath of office as the Deputy Executive Minister of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ). The holy gathering was held on June 5, 2025, a Thursday, at 6:00 in the morning.
Recognizing the significance to their lives of this holy occasion, the brethren arrived at the Central Temple way before the scheduled time.
In his homily, Brother Angelo Manalo emphasized to the congregants, especially the ministerial students who comprised the great portion of the attendees, that it is their duty to obey God and to help strengthen the faith of His chosen people. The Deputy Executive Minister reminded them that their lives must always reflect their relationship with God and show that they are truly worthy of salvation. They should not be distracted from fulfilling their services to Him and they must avoid falling into sin, as they are already His chosen people. Moreover, God expects them to help the Church Administration in spreading His words that will lead people to salvation on Judgment Day.
A day before being elected as the Church’s Deputy Executive Minister, Brother Angelo Eraño V. Manalo officiated a worship service to God at the house of worship of the Local Congregation of Pamplona, Ecclesiastical District of Metro Manila South, on May 25, 2025.
Before the study of God’s words, Metro Manila South District supervising minister Brother Jerick S. dela Cruz led the congregational prayer. Then, Brother Angelo Manalo taught from the Bible how members of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) can all the more resist evil and avoid transgressions now that the end draws nearer—remain firm in their divine election.
Brother Angelo Manalo also emphasized the great importance of the worship service in keeping and strengthening the members’ faith as they receive God’s words, which the Church Administration continues to make known, during such occasion.
Brother Joji Crisostomo then led the congregants in a heartfelt prayer to God after the preaching of God’s words. Brother Daniel Aglipay Jr. led the offertory prayer and Brother Angelo Manalo said the benediction.
