Aimed at enhancing the bond among old and newly-baptized members, would-be members and guests, the Ecclesiastical District of Makati hosted a ‘Welcome, My Brethren’ activity at Cuneta Astrodome on March 29, 2025. District supervising minister Brother Eduardo Olipas led the event.

Talented brethren performed musical and dance numbers featuring INC original music, such as I Am Happy, I’m Iglesia Ni Cristo, Rise and Forever INC, Magbabagong-buhay (Uphold Renewal Of Life), Aming Namamahala (Our Leader in the Church).

“Being a newly-baptized member in the Church, this activity has all the more inspired me to remain active in serving the Lord God. The performances were so heartfelt as it reflect the biblical doctrines we uphold in the Church. The warmth of bond among Church members was evident,” said Maika Gamboa from the Local Congregation of United Parañaque 1. In between the musical performances were video presentations of recently held Christian Family Organizations (CFO) activities, among other endeavors of the district, aimed at keeping them active and edified in the faith.

“I felt so welcomed among the members in your Church, I didn’t feel I was being left out. The Church indeed upholds solidarity among its members. I want to know more about the Church Of Christ,” said guest Florante Lopez of the Central Signal Congregation. — With reports from Moises Osorio and May-Ann Dela Cruz of INC News Section
