To commemorate its 73rd anniversary, the Local Congregation of Sta. Ana, Ecclesiastical District of Marikina, Philippines, staged an INConcert on December 23, 2025. Held at Jose F. Diaz Memorial Stadium in San Mateo, Rizal, the event’s program included the local congregation’s Christian Family Organizations (CFO) Family Fun Day and year-end socializing.
The event started with an opening prayer led by Brother Dan Eduard Dela Cruz, ministerial worker assigned in the said local congregation. Then, resident minister Brother Gerson Mahinay delivered the opening remarks. It was followed by the musical performances rendered by talented brethren, featuring Iglesia Ni Cristo original songs such as Ang Sugo Ng Diyos Sa Mga Huling Araw (God’s Messenger In These Last Days), Ama Kami Ay Sa Iyo Pa Rin (Father, We Are Still Yours), Laan Sa Akin (Intended For Me), Kahit Ako ay Bata (Be It I’m Still A Child), Ako’y Iyong Ihatid sa Bayang Banal (Lead Me, God, to the Holy City), Panalangin (Prayer), and Salamat Po Sa Iyong Pagyakap (Thank You, Father, for Your Embrace).
Between performances, the attendees watched audiovisual presentations featuring the faith-inspired stories of some pioneer members, converts, and parents in the local congregation.
“I love very much my membership in the Church Of Christ,” shared pioneer member and deaconess Luzviminda Tamisin. “I promise that as long as I have life and strength, I will perform the duty that God has given me,” she added.
“To the younger generations, always be faithful in fulfilling your divine duties and never draw back whatever happens in your life, for our salvation on Judgment Day rests on these things,” said Felipe Dela Cruz, also a pioneer member.
“The united efforts of the CFO officers in our congregation in organizing this event yielded a good result. The event is beautiful, well-organized, and joyous,” Brother Mahinay said.
The Local Congregation of Sta. Ana was established on November 25, 1952. — With reports from Princess Largado and Aubrey Norielle Magdato
