“We here are exceedingly happy that the Church Administration approved our elevation to local congregation status. I’m all the more inspired to continue fulfilling my Church duties to please God,” said Alice Liwanag, a deaconess.

Brother Ubaldo emphasized during his preaching that members of the true Church should remain true to their faith. They could do so by being obedient to all the commands of God. He also pointed out that the Lord God expects the brethren to care for and maintain the place of worship. He also reminded them that God is always ready to hear their plea specially during the worship services.

“Our Father gave fruition to the efforts of the brethren in this area to share the true gospel thus bearing abundant fruit. All the praise we give unto God,” Brother Ubaldo added. “Not only are brethren here so eager to take part in the Church works but also their utmost trust in God has been evident having conducted their devotional prayers prior to this day they’ve been waiting for.”

“As we show gratitude to God, we also promise to remain ever active in all the Church endeavors. We will be fervent in sharing the gospel. We will be zealous in performing our Church duties. We firmly believe that doing those are pleasing to God,” said Loreto Raza Jr., the head deacon, on behalf of the congregation. — With reports from Rosanna Ramos of INC News Section

During the study of God’s words, Brother Baitan admonished all the attendees to always find solace, inspiration, and happiness in obeying the words of God. Despite the challenges that they face, the district supervising minister emphasized the importance of remaining dedicated in their services to God, among their other duties in the Church, until the end to be worthy of His blessings in this life and in the life to come.

“I’m so happy that I was able to attend the special gathering today,” enthused Felix Gomintong, a secretary from the Local Congregation of Maple Ridge. “It has truly uplifted me in the faith and has inspired me to continue serving God even in the face of adversities.”

On behalf of his fellow ministers and Church officers, Brother Gilbert Maniego, district edification overseer, said, “We will continue to oversee, love, and guide the brethren.” — With reports from INC News Section
