Baptismal Oct 2008

Oct 26, 2008 0730 hrs.  A turning point to many of our brethren. This year, over thirty (the biggest batch in Grace) individuals decided to proclaim their faith and follow Jesus' foot step to be baptized with water.(Matthew 3:13-17). 

Baptism from the Greek word baptismos, in other words, to immerse in water.... is not a requirement for Salvation, but an outward proclamation of faith. It is also commanded by Jesus in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19) "....baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit". Even so, many are reluctant to take this giant leap. So BRAVO to these individuals who faithfully attended weekSSSSSS of baptismal classes just so they could be baptized.

So all of you out there who are baptized, let us congratulate them..  And all you who are not yet baptized, we strongly encourage you to do so.

Before viewing the pictures... I believe during their baptism, they had in them the same conviction as Paul when he said in Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the POWER of God for Salvation to everyone who believes....".

PS.. If I wasn't able to take your photo, please tell me.. I'll glady upload it.

It will also be co-ed, and there would be three teachers in each class. It will be divided in six classes (or in camp language, tents).... Kinder 2-Grade 1, Grade 2.....bla bla bla.. and lastly, Grade 6-High School 1st year. It was originally intended that Kinder 2 and HS first year students are not included, but they made an exception for those who really want to join.

If you have nothing to do, and want your child to learn something about God.. Send them off to Junior camp.. Hey, p600 is pretty cheap for four days. P125 for three meals. Ain't it a good deal?

Mini Fair: Fund for Fund SUUUPER DELAYED Pix

Sorry for the extremely late post... I haven't had the time to select the pictures and post them all. Back in August, Grace had a Mini Fair. It was a fun afternoon event that raised a little over a million pesos. So as promised, here are some of the pictures courtesy of our friend Walter.
