Mass Announcement for November 30, 2008
By: E.M. Espiritu
In Matthew 13:35, the Lord said, “Watch therefore -- for you do not know when the master of the house will come”. Utmost preparation for all of us, is Now at Hand . . .
We now enter the season of advent and the on-going brick-laying works project by the 2008 Hermanos Y Hermanas is about to be completed. On top of this unselfish commitment for the Lord, they have also included other related works such as the fabrication and installation of new window grilles and the relocation of the side wooden doors. Now we can see the beauty of our church, with the new ceiling in place, complimented by the new architectural finish of the walls. Isn’t it amazing how the Lord works in each and everyone of us?
Although there is much to celebrate in the coming Christmas season, we still have to be mindful that we still have the commitment to fully settle our obligations for the completed works on the roof and ceiling. Recently, we have intensified our campaign for 2.2@22 by way of requesting all church commissions, ministries and organizations to partner with the different teams in achieving our goal.
By the coming week, we expect to enter the 60% accomplishment target for our 2.2@22.
As of November 26, 2008, donations received amounted to Php 1,312,355.02 which is 59.65%.
"No one is too poor not to give and No one is too rich not to receive". Our outstanding balance in the amount of P887,644.98 can easily be achieved by way of a renewed commitment from all of us.
We have done this and we can make it happen again. We can never outdone God’s generosity in our own personal lives for He surely sees the goodness in our hearts. In thanksgiving, let us offer once more ourselves for the glory of the Lord.
