Sta. Barbara Congregation marks anniversary with back-to-back activities

“The lesson on the promised Holy City is one of the biblical teachings that prompted me to continue examining the teachings inside the Church Of Christ,” said Christian Fernandez, a newly baptized member, “and because whenever I attend the worship services I feel at peace, that also inspired me to continue on despite the hindrances brought by the pandemic.”

“I uphold my devotional prayers. With God’s help, yearly I am able to invite people, many of whom are now baptized inside the true Church,” said Narcisa Soriano, deaconess, who was instrumental to the conversion of four new members baptized that day.

Later that day, the newly baptized brethren were treated to the “Welcome, My Brethren” activity. There, they met fellow newly baptized members, together with the officers of the respective Christian Family Organizations (CFO) they belong to—Buklod, for married members; KADIWA, for single members who are 18 years old above; and Binhi, for those who have been baptized and are between the ages of 12 and 17. They were also entertained through the musical performances presented by the CFO officers.

Brother Olipas said, “We praise God for this success He bestowed to our district, especially to this congregation. We firmly believe it is God Himself Who calls people to be among His chosen people. We thank the Executive Minister, Brother Eduardo V. Manalo, for his able leadership guiding us toward our salvation.” — With reports from INC News Section
