How lovely to see fresh blooms on the piano, every Lord’s Day in TBC. Thanks to the ministry of sisters Nel, Nina and Ning. Last Sunday (May 5), after the Lord’s Supper, the three flower arrangements they brought were so nice to let go, that those with camera took pictures of them. Later, two sisters grouped the three arrangements together on a table, and requested that their pictures be taken. Soon, mothers, singles, youth, children and couples took turns to have their pictures taken as well. Flowers not only brighten a room, they also create a different kind of fellowship opportunity for TBC members.

People with an eye for beauty can’t stand dull, old, plain-looking plates and wine holder, especially if they are to be used for the Lord’s Supper. Thanks to TBC’s lovely couple, Nor and Ningning Buno, who took upon themselves the ministry of beautifying the Lord’s Supper table, bread container, glasses and all. It was a big upgrade from the usual (as can be seen from this picture). It also shows how anybody can contribute to the work of the Lord by just looking around for some things to improve.

Czarina became a member of TBC barely a month ago. She was interviewed for church membership and was baptized (in Community of Faith Church in City Subdivision) on the same day, April 1, 2013 which allowed her to join the Lord’s Supper that afternoon. The deacons and elders decided to accept Czarina for membership even for a short period so as to ensure that she will be in the protection and guidance of the church, while looking for a church in NZ. Czarina will be employed as a nurse in a hospital in NZ. Her husband Gabby will follow after three months.
Mhay, Nanay Delma and Vera, were interviewed for church membership by elders and preachers of TBC on April 22. Their testimonies can now be read in TBC’s bulletin board. Nanay Delma and Mhay are the mother and sister of Dennis Enriquez respectively. He invited them to attend worship services since 2005. Pastor Ferdie spent almost a year of Bible study with them. Vera, however was a former member of an evangelical church and started to attend TBC upon learning the Doctrines of Grace.
Rodel and Rhua (who belong to a group that TBC members fondly call “Candelaria Brethren”), were interviewed on April 28. The Lord is indeed blessing TBC and rewarding the diligence of bible study leaders.

Sunday is always a blessing. But the last Sunday of April (April 28) was extra special. TBC members and visitors celebrated a number of momentous events.
First was the 18th and 82th birthday celebration of Anna Buno and Inay Rosing Lasco respectively, which was on April 26. A second cause for celebration were the graduation of Pastor Ferdie Facundo and Brother Alan Caparas from Grace Ministerial Academy (GMA) last April 11, Ruby Valerio from Master of Arts in Nursing, and Jonathan David D. Lasco, from Civil Engineering (University of the Philippines at Los Banos, Laguna) who graduated magna cum laude.
TBC hosted the 10th Pastor’s conference on April 22, 2013, with about fifty pastors and church leaders in attendance. Pastor Noel Espinosa, gave three lectures about preaching Christ from the Old Testaments. As always, TBC members were in full force helping and supporting the work.
The expansion of the worship hall was very timely for the event. The conference also provided an opportunity to have an extended fellowship among the members.

The prayer fellowship of TBC women was made lovelier by the presence of Naomi the first baby of Paolo and Marane Monticillo. After months of bed rest and recuperation from Caesarian operation, Marane finally joined the church in worship and fellowship. She said she has a lot to thank God for. We are blessed to see her beaming with joy. She was tried but came out of it stronger and happier. God is good indeed. Welcome Naomi to your TBC family.
