La Paz Congregation in Tarlac celebrates 90th anniversary

On January 13, the Church members conducted a clean-up drive. Resident minister, Brother James Christian G. Trinidad, led the cleaning of the Church’s compound and the town’s creek.

To conclude the week-long celebration, more activities were held on January 15. Brother Efren F. Manalo, district Light of Salvation overseer, led the orientation of the 68 guests who expressed willingness to become doctrinal instructees. A special gathering at their house of worship was then officiated by the assistant district supervising minister, Brother Joselito Canlas. Via livestreaming, it was also attended by the brethren from seven other sites and from other brethren’s respective homes.

Right after, a video presentation about the local congregation and video greetings of previous resident ministers and ministerial workers were shown. A picture gallery was also prepared to exhibit the photos depicting the history of the Church in the town.

Rufina Mañebog, one of the elderly deaconesses, ardently expressed, “We’ve been through severe trials and persecutions, but by God’s grace, we have lived to tell the stories. We promise to remain one with the Church Administration He placed to lovingly lead us in our journey towards the promised salvation.” — With reports from Naida M. Flora
