Church Anniversary Weekend, Day 2. It’s supposed to be our 39th Anniversary, but this year just kept on changing for some reason. Anyway, I was out early today for the same reason I was out early yesterday… only this time I was actually out earlier because I wanted to make it to the 8am service.
8am service starts a little late, but they start out good. Almost all of the seats are filled, and we have the sound system and all that set up. Actually, they did all that, all I did for the most part was to take pictures: Of the singers, then the musicians, then the congregations. Pretty good to be back to taking photos again, a bit of a refresh coming from endless sunset shots and so forth.
It’s the same ritual per service, by the way: Worship, followed by a turnover ceremony honoring Pastor John as our new Senior Minister, and then having the same share his message for this Anniversary. This is all wrapped up with a benediction followed by a good, hearty meal for everyone.
That’s right, food served in each service. Pastor Rey served breakfast, Pastor Alvin served Good Taste, and we served merienda in the form of pancit, lumpia, and other stuff. There was a lot of lumpia, if I may add.
Thoughts and other stuff:
- I need to tell the events people to stop putting in too much extra videos if they aren’t needed. That ‘intro’ video was totally unnecessary, caused delays.
- I held off on eating until around lunch time, and then when I saw all the food I was packing, I decided to eat some of it during lunchtime, taking a video of me eating. Don’t ask. I just did. Anyway, it lasted for exactly 20 minutes, which I sped up before posting on IG/FB/YT.
- Worship was good. Everyone knew Way Maker, thank God. And it was a good decision to sing No Other Name. Everyone definitely knew that one, and it was really a hat tip to the main man, Pastor O.
- ‘Kuya John, I know we don’t agree in a lot of things, but what we do agree on is Christ and His finished work, and for that, I am happy.’ – Yeah, I actually said that. In the presence of our pastors and in front of our congregation. It was marinating in my mind all morning, since Pastor Poppo told me I’d be praying for him. I think it had to be said. Now that I look back at it, it did sound reckless and unnecessary, but I believe it had to be said, in the sense that I didn’t want him thinking I was going to be a yes man. If he wants to clarify I will be glad to say that I respect him and his family that much, that I would tell him what I disagree with up front.
- Ball is therefore in my court in the sense that I would step up to the plate and be the village asshole at times if I have to be.
After everything was done, Tita Nitz wanted to bring the kids out so we walked around SM, before she treated us to Tiger Jelly Milk Tea. I drove them all home, before heading home myself. I ate again when I got back here.
Excited to start Monday off well.
