Hold Fast: the Royal Valley Free SDA Church Campmeeting 2010

The recently-concluded camp meeting was a definite success. Themed "Hold Fast," it highlighted the pillars of the Seventh-day Adventist Faith in a free and open discussion, the essentials and essentiality of prayer, the discovery and nurturing of spiritual gifts, and the proper presentation and representation of the truth. There was also an evaluation of individual spirituality and efficiency of the current ministries.

During the morning and evening devotionals, messages of encouragement and inspiration were shared by elders and workers, and the youth were very eager to share their gifts of song.

On Sabbath, Elder Leve Catubigan talked about the purging of secret sins from every individual so the church can receive the full blessing from the Lord.

Camp Meeting

Yes, it's soon time for the second of our two yearly camp meetings.

It will be on October 26-31. Mark your calendars and free up your schedules.

This time, we're holding it at our camp site up in San Miguel, Arakan, North Cotabato. Some of our brothers are now working on building a new kitchen since we lost the old one to a fire sometime back.

We're looking forward to a much larger attendance than before and would be delighted to have you there.

Fellowship at Bito Church

On August 28, we once again made the trip to Malita for our monthly fellowship there. Brethren and sisters filled our blue jeep before the sun was up on Sabbath morning, arriving in Bito church just in time for breakfast before Sabbath School began.

As always, we had the warm support of the brethren from Pangian church. We were also blessed to have with us a couple of brothers from the SDA Reform Movement who also shared their knowledge, especially in the line of prophetic events.

Representatives from the different churches shared how they go about God's work in their locality. Lunch was wonderful, especially as the brethren continued to discuss Bible subjects and natural methods of healing.

Speakers for the Sabbath included Bro. Benhur Negre, Bro. Roger Laguardia, Sis. Gladys Laguardia, and Bro. Randy Akyatan (SDARM).

We look forward to the next fellowship, which will be on September 25 at Pangian Church. God bless us all.
