The Holidays are upon us! It's Christmas time in the Philippines!
They say that our country -the Philippines has the longest Christmas Season in the world! Amidst all the financial and economic crises we are encountering here and abroad, we surely can't skip the merry making and joyous celebration of Christmas time!
Indeed it is the season for reunions, parties, peace talks, cease fires and gift-giving. And for our church, we welcome the Season with yuletide cheers through carols and songs of praise. Starting 16th of December up to the 23rd , we will be visiting different houses and sing songs of cheers and carols to our benevolent benefactors.
This year's cause is for the upgrade of our Landmark of Greatness which will be on its second phase of construction.
Here's a peek of our fun last December 16th. (I just hope I have clearer pictures than this (^_^)hmmm...)
We visited 18 houses that night and after the tedious and larynx-exhausting carols, soup was served hot at Sis Jo's house.
We also gave out tokens to the households that we visited, a thank you card and a 2011 calendar showing GLHCC weekly activities.
It was our first time (me and Percival) to join the caroling event and it's really worth the join! Amidst the tiresome activity, we feel much fulfilled knowing that we are doing it for the benefit of the Church , who will apparently lead more souls to worship the true Reason for this Season and that is Jesus Christ!
To those who wish to participate in our caroling or know someone else who would enjoy a Christmas music cheer to help us further, please call Perci at 09086100875 or e-mail melo_tabernilla@yahoo.com. Kindly visit our Facebook page for more info. Merry Christmas to all!
Psalm 100 (KJV) "Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations."
