fIRST QUARTER ACTIVITY HIGHLIGHTS 2008

PANGASINAN OUTREACHES Two major events were observed in our outreaches in Pangasinan. The church in Dagupan celebrated its anniversary last February 24. The church is ably-led by Pastor Louise Garcia. The church-planting area in San Carlos City held its inaugural service last March 2. Through the initiative of Pastor Norman Florendo, a place was recently secured where the regular Sunday service will be held.

	GROOVY KIND OF LOVE The celebration of love month last February 15 was a night full of dancing and fellowship. Couples enjoyed the night with music from Bro. Mike Pedero's band, the Prior Years. Games for couples spiced up the night.

	EASTER CANTATA Easter Sunday was celebrated with a cantata entitled All Hail King Jesus! The choir, resplendent in their new gown inspired the worshippers of the 11:00AM and 4:00PM services. Rev. Ben Gomez and Ptr. Dennis Mongoso gave the messages with Manny Reyes conducting the choir.

	YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS The Youth and Young Adult ministries jointly held a retreat in Pililia Rizal. It was attended by the core groups of both ministries, where plans to further enhance their activities were discussed.

	CHURCH PRAYER RETREAT The church as one gathered and prayed at the Touch of Glory prayer mountain in Montalban, Rizal. The prayer retreat was participated by almost three hundred church members.

	JOY OLID CONSECRATION One of the milestones in the history of Breadcom is the consecration and sending off of our first missionary Sis. Joy Olid. She will work with Ethnos Asia, a missions organization based in Bangkok, Thailand. Sis Joy worked with BreadCom through the Cross-Cultural Missions Ministry.

	STAFF OUTING IN LAGUNA The church staff started the year with an outing in Calamba, Laguna in January. All the pastoral and non-pastoral staff together with their families participated in the activity. The warm pool, the plentiful food and the indoor games keep everyone alive till past 8:00PM.

	GRADUATE SCHOLAR One of BreadCom's scholar Sis. Karen Abaya graduated from the Asian Theological Seminary (ATS). She took a one year certificate course to enhance her skills in managing the Sunday School and the children's ministry. She will rejoin the church making use of her newly-acquired knowledge and skills.

	HENRY BLACKABY BreadCom was privileged to have the well-known author Henry Blackaby as its speaker last March 2, 4:00PM service. The church was included in the series of talks by the Blackabys in the Philippines, organized by the Church Strengthening Ministry (CSM).

	MIDWEEK SERIES For the first quarter of the year, the midweek service topic was dubbed Ways of Wisdom from the Book of Proverbs. Dr. Nomer Bernardino covered topics we ordinarily encounter in our daily lives, and what the Bible say about these concerns.

LEADERS TRAINING The Leadership Training Series conducted for two months was concluded last March 18, 2008. It was participated by candidate office bearers, ministry servants and some council members. The training was aimed at orienting the incoming office bearers and ministry servants on the Breadcom and the Christian Reformed Church. The following topics were discussed: Our church governance, Ministry of Elders and Ministry of Deacons, Doctrinal Distinctives of the Reformed Faith, Reformed Worship, Speaking and praying in public and Operations Manual: Policies and Guidelines.

HAGGAI PLEDGING We are still looking for a place in the Pasig-Mandaluyong area where we can set up our permanent community center. We are envisioning a center where people not only worship during Sundays but also cater to the needs of the community during ordinary days. The center will be home to street children, activity center for the elderly, gimmick area for the youth and venue for community development activities. Last January we had a pledging session where members were asked to give their pledges for the Lot and Building Fund. A total of P8,908,900.00 were committed to be given within the year by 77 members and 11 non-members. These gifts are broken down as follows:

87 individuals giving one-time donation amounting to P692,100.00 3 individuals will lend the church their personal money amounting to P230,000.00 1 member will lend credit line for the church amounting to P6,000,000.00
