The year 2023 titled “From Glory to Glory” has passed. However, before the year concluded, the brethren of the Most Holy Church did not forget to hold the annual thanksgiving celebration last 30th of December. This is the pledge of the entire brethren to show gratitude and appreciation for all the unending grace and loving-kindness God showed all year round.
After the Churchwide thanksgiving celebration, last 1st of May, for the 101st Church Anniversary, the Church Administration determined that it is no longer practical to gather the brethren in one venue to hold these kinds of fellowships. This is because most venues in the Philippines are not suitable to accommodate most of the Church members. Thus, the brethren from different regions of the Philippines and abroad celebrated the 2023 Year-End Thanksgiving in different venues.
As always, Church members who attended the event felt the presence of the Holy Spirit blessing and equipping everyone to face the challenges of the new year 2024. The highlight of the thanksgiving is the sermon delivered by the General Bishop, Elder Isagani N. Capistrano titled, “Our Most Holy Faith” which is also the theme for the year 2024.
Therefore, everyone can look forward that the theme of the teachings for the year 2024 will be about the foundational doctrines of the Church. The reason for this is to equip the brethren, especially the new ones, to be firm in upholding the pure doctrines of the Lord Jesus Christ which is the sole foundation of our faith.
