Rekindling the Covenant of Agape (Part 2)

As narrated by: Sis. Elizabeth (Loida Roque)

As the Church goes to its Second Step in Rekindling the Covenant of Agape, this time it was held at The Knights of Columbus Hall, Barangay. Malasin, San Jose City, Province of Nueva Ecija, last September 29, 2019. The occasion, titled “ Narito Ako, Dahil Ako ay Ako” (Here I Am, For I Am What I Am), was attended by the brethren from the Northern Part of Nueva Ecija ( San Jose City, Science City of Munoz, Pantabangan, Rizal, Carranglan, Lupao, Llanera, and Castaneda of Nueva Viscaya).

Aside from celebrating the regular Sunday Worship Services, the event was highlighted by the rituals of the Second Step in Rekindling the Covenant of Agape.

The worship service sermon titled, “ Narito Ako Dahil Ako ay Ako: Hakbang ng Pagtalima” (Here I Am, For I Am What I Am: The Step of Obedience) was delivered by MK Shomer ( Bishop Gil Bunag). The sermon emphasized that we are called as children of God by His grace, became fully capable, through the Holy Spirit, to perform our God-given ministries, and became sufficient through His mercy.

The brethren from Nueva Ecija were so excited for this special worship service because it was presided by the Seven Bishops. Here are some of the captured moments of this spirit-filled event.

Simultaneous with this event, the congregation of the Most Holy Church in different places in the Philippines and other countries, held worship services for the Second Step in Rekindling the Covenant of Agape. The Church Administration is reminding us that we are done with the Second Step, let us finish the rekindling process until the seventh step offering ourselves a living, holy and acceptable sacrifices to the Lord.

The Third Step in Rekindling the Covenant of Agape will be held on October 6, 2019, at Daisylene Reception Hall, Barangay Curva, Municipality of Bongabon, Province of Nueva Ejica.
