Family Day

It's good to have family day... that is why the church scheduled such activity last November 30, 2007, (Bonifacio Day)... at High Ridge, Aluba Cagayan de oro City. It was a holiday, so there's no work for most of the people. The venue was very nice.. very spacious and you can have the whole view of Cagayan de Oro City. This activity was aimed to strengthen families as well as strengthening our relationship with other families.The activity started with a Praise and Worship... Ptra. Nenette leads the worship accompanied by her husband Bro. Rioben. After the worship, Pastor Raul gave a message ... It was an encouraging message that reminds everyone to really take good care of our families...
Everyone brought food for this activity... We enjoyed every kinds of food that everyone shared. There's lechon manok, biko, adobo, bbq, saging, ginamos, a lot of Coke and Pop Cola and.. (I forgot the others...) (l0l!)Bogie prepared some games to really make this activity more fun and exciting. Here's Ptra. Nette, Allen, Liza, and Aiza doing some cheer for thier group. (Allen is a little bit shy...he.he.he)

The kids also had fun in the games... :)

Great teamwork guys!!!

At 1pm, we had our groupings.. in this activity individuals will be given sets of questions for them to answer.. some of the topics they will be sharing are.. how they appreciate thier spouses (for married couple), how they appreciate thier parents (for youth).. to share thier happiest moments as a couple/ family.. and things like that. :)

Group 1: The Adult Women Group.
These women here are so comfortable with each other. As they go along every questions given to them, they asked this little girl Lala (beside Nanay Inday), to rephrase the question for them. They said they were blessed to have an interpreter for that day.. he.he..he.he..

Group 2: Youth Women's Group
These ladies here are so emotional... they couldn't help but cry while sharing how grateful they were with regards to thier parents love and hardwork for them. According to Sis. Lannel, the simple "I miss you" and "I love you" words matter most to her since her mother and other sisters are in Malaysia.

Group 3: Youth Men's Group
These guys are so serious in answering the sets of questions given to them.. but the girls were more serious than they were.. Sorry guys! But they had fun as they exchange thoughts in the sharing.

Group 4: Married Women's Group
These group had the difficulty on who will start first, given that all of them are shy... (lol!) Good thing, Ptra. Mayette gave them one question to answer and made everyone think on what to answer. As they go along with the sharing you will find out that these women are brilliant in organizing thier thoughts.. :) It was a nice sharing...

Group 5: Married Men's Group

These group were the last one to finish.. They have a lot of things to share for just one question... (L-R) Bro. Boy, Bro. Jay, Bro. Rioben, & Bro. Tonypet...not in the picture (Bro. Manny and Pastor Raul).... They all enjoyed the sharing especially Bro. Jayjay's ( the one standing in the pic) stories...

Group 5 sharing moments... before they transferred to the garden.. (L-R, Bro. Boy, Bro. Manny, and Bro. Tonypet)

While waiting for the Group 5 to finish... some of the youth group played in the garden of the venue while others enjoyed chatting and enjoying the view..
