HCF Christmas Service & Party

Last Dec 20, 2009 HCF held its Christmas service at the Movement Function Room at Union Bank Plaza. Bro. Jun Young who came from Shanghai shared the message on the celebration of Christmas and his life testimony. His main scripture was Job 1:21 “The Lord gave and the Lord has taketh away; may the name of the Lord be praised.

Afterwards, a Christmas party was held at nearby McDonald’s. There was an exchange gift, raffle and Christmas package for everyone.

The Highest Concert….

At least for some, it was the highest concert ever being at the 29th Floor. HCF held its first concert in the new venue last night. HCFers and friends were rocked by the homegrown HCF House Band and by the Life Church Band from El Paso, Texas.

It was not the concert that you would expect, but where human limitations end God comes in. It was a meaningful one ~ interspersed with great music was the testimony of several men and women about Jesus Christ coming into their lives. He doesn’t wait till we’re perfect but meets us where we are.

It was such a great night which was hard to end. Cocktails were served afterwards and fellowship extending after we’ve left the building at the nearby Banchetto at Emerald.

It was a real “night-out” without the hangover. Maybe we could do this again. Another concert? Wait for announcements

TGIF Concert!!!

Thank God its Free!! You and your friends are invited.

21st HCF Anniversary

HCF celebrated its 21st Anniversary with joint attendance of Ortigas, Tondo and Pangarap churches. Worship was whole heartedly led by a combination of the Ortigas and Tondo worship teams. Special numbers were also performed by Pangarap and Tondo HCF.

Program was lively with a trio of emcees guiding the celebration – Emo, Tat and Ed. A message from Ptr. Andrew was read to the congregation giving inspiration to the resilient church surviving the last crisis by Ondoy and giving a continuing challenge for evangelism and discipleship. Report from Ortigas, Tondo, Pangarap, Bulacan and Nueva Ecija were given and inspired everyone to push forward in spreading the gospel.

HCF Ortigas ordained a new associate pastor. Bro. Bari Panopio took up the servant leadership challenge and was ordained by Ptr. Raul and Ptra. Lyn. The congregation prayed for our new pastor.

Ptr. Henry Manuncia was our guest in sharing the Word from the Book of Joshua. His message was to protect the Filipino family of which HCF is a microcosm. Weapons given to us were: Choice, Unity and Purity. As Joshua said “As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.” This was the CUP, as in Gideon taken in a time of war and in the book of Psalms which overflows even when we are surrounded by enemies.

The day ended in a heart sandwich fellowship. God bless!!!

Last Sunday at Gilmore

Last Sunday, August 30, was the last time we were holding worship service at the Gilmore venue. This being the 5th Sunday, we celebrated “Batang K.” Joining us were the children of Cenep and our brethren from Pangarap. Worship was led also by Sonshine Kids with costumes from other countries. Not to be mistaken for a UN day, the reason for the costumes is that they have prayed for children of countries from around the world. The children from Cenep – recited memory verses and did a dance interpretation of Bayan Ko.  Sonshine Kids also did a performance near the end of the service. There was also a child dedication and a sharing from Sis. Winnie from Pangarap.

Summer Voice Workshop Finale

The Summer Voice Workshop ended last Sunday, May 31, 2009. The last session was well attended with representative from HCF Gilmore, Tondo and Pangarap present. There were also guests from other churches.

Everyone prepared an hour before the workshop for their solo numbers and gamely sang when called upon by Bro. Larrie, who gave his critique (both positive and negative). Everyone took it well and hopefully would exert efforts toward their improvement.

Overall the workshop was fun with undertones of seriousness – even when Bro. Larrie would make everyone laugh with his antiques.

There was merienda fellowship after it all. The food though quickly vanished since the participants worked up an appetite after singing.

Watch out for part II of the this Voice Workshop. Many thanks to Bro. Larrie, Sis. Meann and especially Ptr. Andrew for his generosity.
