Choir members from every local congregation in the Ecclesiastical District of Italy North convened at the house of worship of the Local Congregation of Milan to hear God’s words. The special gathering was held on November 3, 2024.

“In fulfilling our sacred duties, we truly receive from our Lord God, the Father, and Lord Jesus Christ the strengthening of our faith,” said Brother Randy Macalinao, district supervising minister, in his homily during the said gathering he led. He emphasized the importance of hymns of praises being offered to God every time the choir members fulfill their duties during congregational worship services, among other gatherings.

“I will strive, as I lead the choir members entrusted to my care, to give our best in singing hymns of praises to the Lord God,” Pedro Jose Dalit, the district choir instructor, said.  Thankful to the Lord God and to the Church Administration for the spiritual blessings he received, he promised to inspire his fellow choir members not to neglect, but to all the more be dedicated to fulfilling their divine duty.

“Strengthened in the faith were not only the pioneer choir members but also the newly recruits, most of whom are young members of the Church, encouraging them to all the more cherish their duties in the Church, which God gave them,” attested Brother Jan Bryan Barcebal, resident minister of the Local Congregation of Milan. — With reports from Ayeesha Dula of INC News Section
