FEAST VALENZUELA'S FIRST ANNIVERSARY

On July 24, THE FEAST Community celebrated the birthday of its newest "baby" chapter at SM Hypermarket, Valenzuela City.

The Valiantz, named after the Valenzueleños (residents of Valenzuela City), attended with full enthusiasm and zeal! My MSC was also present to support! Apparently, we weren't assigned to sing for the Holy Mass that time but nonetheless, they were still there to witness this victorious event! 

  

It is always fun to serve the Lord in whatever means it may be. I happened to belong to the Music Ministry of the Feast for some time now and some of its other members are from MSC as well. It takes a lot of time to practice and perfect the songs and sometimes we wrap up very late during rehearsal nights! But in spite of the hard work and the conflicts during the rehearsals, there is always an air of excitement whenever we are there together to sing!

One of the highlights of the July 24th Anniversary event was the special message of guest speaker and over-all Leader of THE FEAST community, Bro. Bo Sanchez. Sources say that he was very much enthused by the turn out of the crowd! He was very pleased to see that faithfuls from the youth sector dominated the place! I even saw him smiling at us when we were singing as he was being cued to come up on stage.

Overall, the event was a success! The airconditioning system of SM Cinema 1 even failed to suffice! A scenario that I only witness whenever I watch pay-per-view Pacquiao Fights or really much anticipated movie sequels! But now, people really came out to support THE FEAST. Whether they were there out of curiosity, or it was a geniune display of faith is totally beyond me. All I'm certain of is that they were there because God ALLOWED them to be there.  

  

I wish to say that being at THE FEAST every Sunday is NOT an obligation. Not an extra-chore that we all have to be burdened of. It is a chance for us Christians to learn more about Jesus Christ. A chance to realize that there are a lot more things beyond what we know about being Christians! And most especially, realize Jesus' ULTIMATE plan for us...

SALVATION.
