A blessed time of fellowship, worship, and humble reflection π€
RITA Members from Small Margus, Batutoling, and Big Margus gathered for a meaningful time of fellowship, worship, and community sharing. Our time together was enriched as we lifted our voices in praise through βMahal na Mahal Kita Panginoon,β offering our love and surrender to God as one community.
We reflected on Obadiah 1:4, a verse spoken by God as judgment against Edomβa solemn reminder that pride and self-reliance lead to downfall. Though Edom felt secure and untouchable, God declared that no position or strength stands above His authority. For us, this passage serves as a call to humility and faithful stewardship, recognizing that everything we have comes from God.
βThough you soar aloft like the eagle,
though your nest is set among the stars,
from there I will bring you down,β
declares the Lord.
β Obadiah 1:4
This gathering also served as a time to update the community on the RITA program, strengthening shared understanding, accountability, and commitment to our mission.
Adding to the joy of the day, we also celebrated the birthday of one of our members, taking time to pray over her, asking for Godβs continued guidance, protection, and blessing in the year ahead. It was a beautiful moment of care, gratitude, and sisterhood in Christ.
We are deeply thankful for the spirit of bayanihan shown by our members, who generously helped in preparing and cooking the food for lunch. Special thanks to Ptra. Susan Alvarez, our volunteer from Big Margus, together with Ptra. Norma Miguel and Kuya Toto Miguel, volunteers serving Small Margus and Batutoling, for hosting and serving with love and generosity.
May we continue to grow as a community that listens to Godβs Word, walks in humility, and serves faithfullyβalways remembering that all we have and all we are come from Him.
