The Ecclesiastical District of Trece Martires City, Cavite reached its first anniversary on July 9, 2026. To mark the occasion, the said district held a Family Fun Day and an INConcert on the very day the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) reached its 112th anniversary.

The Family Fun Day kicked off at 2:00 p.m., on July 27, 2026, at the quadrangle of the Cavite State University Main Campus. Brother Rodrigo A. Reyes, district supervising minister, led the ribbon-cutting ceremony alongside Brother Noel Resurreccion, assistant district supervising minister.

Organized by the Christian Family Organizations, the event featured several interactive booths: The Buklod facilitated a free medical assistance program with a health seminar by the Christian Medical Dental and Paramedical Society (CMDPS). Meanwhile, KADIWA organized an eSports (Mobile Legends) tournament and a Human Scavenger Hunt, while the Binhi and Children’s Worship Service (CWS) set up classic carnival games and an inflatable play corner.

Additional activities were hosted by the Christian Brotherhood International (CBI) and the Christian Society for the Differently-abled (CSD), alongside a trade fair by the Christian Employees Association (CEA) and a photobooth managed by the District Multimedia (DMM).

“The games brought joy to everyone and helped brethren gather and build friendships,” shared Oliver John Tiangson, a finance officer from Trece Martires City Congregation.

For the highlight of the day’s events, the INConcert scheduled at 6:00 p.m., the brethren proceeded to the university’s Main Campus Gymnasium. Brother Gavino Sarmiento, district edification overseer, led the opening prayer, followed by welcoming remarks from Brother Reyes.

The musical program featured talented brethren performing INC original songs, including Ama Kami Ay Sa Iyo Pa Rin (Father We Are Still Yours), Babalik Nang May Pananabik (Returning With Eager Longing), Still Blessed By God, and You Can Do The Impossible Too. The night also included a spoken-word poetry presentation titled Pasasalamat Sa Isang Taong Pagtatagumpay (Thanksgiving for a Year Of Triumph). Between live performances, attendees watched an audio-visual presentation chronicling the district’s growth, blessings, and great moments during its inaugural year.

The event concluded with a closing prayer led by Brother Resurreccion.

Carla Marie Relorcasa, the program director, expressed, “The dedication of all performers, including the children, was truly inspiring. I’m deeply grateful to have led this production.”

“The joy felt by the brethren brought inspiration, which gave them renewed strength to continue serving the Almighty God. We return all the glory to Him,” enthused Brother Reyes.
