KADIWA members in Calgary District gather for socializing

“We learned how to be an effective communicator and how being a good listener helps avoid miscommunication. By being able to be in another person’s shoes, one could avoid misinterpreting other’s actions,” said Thania Padillo, KADIWA vice president of the Local Congregation of Spruce Meadows. “I find in-person activities more engaging,” she added.

The participants shared their communication experience during the icebreaker games.

“Everyone is getting along, interacting really well, and talking to one another. It is the result that we [officers] wanted. This is for all of us, together with the members, to stay all the more edified and more involved in the Church,” said Philip Salvador, district KADIWA edification and propagation committee chairperson of Riverbend, Alberta Local Congregation.

Joyful about the activity, Carrington Catabay, district KADIWA officer, said that “it’s a great way for them to start meeting other people and be active in serving God. It’s good to see old and new faces alike, it’s a great way to reconnect with the brethren.” — With reports from INC News Section
