🌷💜PVK Valentine’s Day 💜🌷
A JOINT TEENS FELLOWSHIP for INAYAWAN and LAPU-LAPU
A special fellowship was held for our teens from Bankal, Lapu-Lapu City and Inayawan, Cebu City to celebrate Valentine’s Day together.
The theme, “Knowing God, Knowing You,” was designed to help the teens discover their identity in Christ while fostering positive interactions with the opposite s*x in a friendly and welcoming environment. It also encouraged them to explore God's unique attributes and character.
Before the program began, the teens were asked to line up and walk down the aisle with a randomly assigned partner. Throughout the fellowship, each pair was encouraged to treat each other with kindness and friendliness.
Following the processional, the teens sang “Goodness of God” with heartfelt enthusiasm, and one of them led the group in prayer.
With their partners, each pair was given time to get to know one another—not just by exchanging names, but by sharing interesting facts about themselves. In this unique “dating” setup, the group studied God’s word, discovering their true identity in Christ :
• A child of God John 1:12
• New Creation 2 Corinthians 5:17
• Created in God’s Image Gen 1:27
• We are God’s masterpiece Eph 2:10
• We are loved Jer 3:13
* We are precious in His sight 1 Cor 6:19-20
We look forward to continuing this meaningful discussion at our next Saturday fellowship.
Additionally, we celebrated all January and February birthday celebrants with a joyful rendition of the “Happy Birthday” song and a special birthday cupcake for each, giving everyone a chance to make a wish.
🌟The Best PVK Couple🌟 was recognized and each received a new Bible as their award. Special prizes were also given to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd runner-ups. The winners were chosen based on their adherence to the guidelines provided beforehand: wearing the prescribed, modest attire (skirts for the ladies and pants for the gentlemen); the boys presenting a flower to their partner; each pair demonstrating confidence, respect and friendliness in their interactions with one another and with the group; the gentlemen exhibiting courteous behavior, and the ladies displaying modesty and grace.
🌷💜Your contributions to this ministry are making a positive effect in the lives of young children and teens from the slum communities of Cebu and Lapu. Thank you! 💜🌷
