Christian Youth Fellowship

Send off dinner for Karlo @ KRI last October 25, 2010

Last Friday, instead of the regular acoustic night at the catacombs, we had a movie night at the parsonage (pastor Bernie's). We watched a film, entitled Fireproof - an inspiring movie that talked about faith and marriage. The film had a lot of significant Christian values imparted to us. It also is a good film for the youth since in this time and age, relationships are very immature, and misguided. It puts into perspective what LOVE really is and gives value to commitment. The movie was created by the same makers of Facing the giants, another wonderful Christian film. After the movie, we enjoyed the fellowship snacks (Roberto's pancit) and the insights learned from the movie. The attendees were: Pstr. Bernie, kuya Oyen, Ate January, Norman, Janjan, Jules, Danna, Freitzel, Rodulfo, Rayelynn, Nikolai, GJ, Karlo, and Kuya Greg. We look forward to more movie nights with the youth fellowship.

The Silliman University Church held a sequel to last summer's retreat, entitled Because You Are Young, on October 14 - 16 at NCCP Banilad. It was a fun-filled experience as well as a very inspiring one. The retreat revolved around the key verse from 1 Timothy 4: 12 wherein the topics centered on becoming an example in SPEECH, LIFE, LOVE, FAITH, and PURITY. Our speakers were members of the board and deacons, namely: Ate Ana Montebon, Kuya Oyen Alcantara, Kuya Roy de Leon, Kuya Leonel de Jesus, and Pastor Bernadette Amistoso-Morales. Three events where also added to our retreat that were not in the previous session: the stargazing, the Amazing G-race (from SU church to Banilad) and the water olympics. These events served as a team building activity for the youth. We had no high-school and elementary participants unlike before since their exams was moved and their schedule conflicted with the availability of students.
