Year End Thanksgiving

The following pictures were taken during our Year End Thanksgiving celebration held last Dec. 27, 2008. The gathering were specifically for children of Cainta who are mostly from the impoverished neighborhood.

The program were very simple and mostly concentrated to the much awaited Children's event, and that is the exchanged gifts. For the youth the amount is just measly P20 -P25.00 and above and for the kids' only P10. The program starts with singing, games and the gift-giving. Followed by the distribution of sleepers, donated by sister Liza Elasin.

The surprised belated Christmas bags of goodies came as the finale. Assisted by Raj Buo, together we distributed bags of groceries that consists of noodles, variety of canned goods, 2 packets of rice, and biscuits. A total of 20 bags were distributed to each families. These stuff all came and courtesy of the brethren from Bishan and PP churches of Christ in Singapore.

The program ends with a snack of spaghetti noodles, biscuits and drinks prepared by Sister Gina Catalan. And later, she distributed chocolate candies.

We still have some goodies to be given away, like t-shirts and Bibles, bags and other gift items that all included in the balikbayan box from Singapore, but we deffered it for the moment because we want to give it personally, like prize or special gifts for some occasions.

We would like to thank the brethren from Singapore for all these stuff that truly made some people happy and merry in this season of giving. We really appreciate all your help in Cainta as we continue to serve His people and hoping that someday, all our efforts will produced fruits specially to the parents and families of this kids who are really diligent in regularly attending our Sunday School Bible Classes.

All for God's glory!
