Given this 21st day of August, 2011 during the Silver Anniversary Celebration of the Blessed Hope Christian Community Church Int’l at Xavier Estate Country Clubhouse, Airport Road, Upper Balulang, Cagayan de Oro City, Mindanao, Philippines

Last August 21 was the grand celebration of our church's 25th Anniversary and Thanksgiving . It was a very memorable and enjoyable one as churches from all over the Philippines and the other part of the globe gathered together to declare God's faithfulness in each of our lives.

Now that the Silver Anniversary is over, our church is looking forward to the next grand celebration which is the 50th Anniversary. We laugh at the idea that the 50th anniversary celebration would be the most dragging and longest celebration since the leaders of the church are already at their 70's and 90's that day. Some might have dementia  or Alzheimer's Disease already while some could no longer witness the event because they are already 7 ft. below the ground.

We were talking about old age.. how our  memory  are crushed to the point of not remembering how to do simple everyday things such as tie one's shoes or even dress. It is  forgetting to wear a  jacket or coat when it is raining or cold outside or even  not brushing one's hair or teeth before going out. We laugh and laugh imagining what would be our life  then  but at the end we can not help but Praise God for   the years added to our life. If God will not tarry, I wish to be present on our 50th Church Anniversary with my wife , children and grand children. I do not know If I would still be blogging...  I would be  68 yrs. old then !

Every first Sunday of the month is our Church Communion Service. A time for deep reflection remembering what Jesus did on the cross at Calvary. It’s a time for all of us to refresh our commitments in serving God faithfully. I reminded my wife to send communion invitations to all the brethren for this coming Sunday’s Special Service. We always look forward to the breaking of bread and the drinking of wine as a church, congregation and a family. If you are within Cagayan de Oro City, you can be with us this Sunday, February 6,2010 at Blessed Hope Christian Community Church , Intl.
