Nothing can beat the feeling of serving and worshipping the Lord with your fellow servants, except, doing them together in Church! For the first time since the strict lockdown last August, the SOJC prayer meeting was held at the Diocesan Shrine of Our Lady of the Abandoned Church.

Bro. Juno Columna, with the rest of the music ministry, led everyone to a meaningful worship. Anchored by the songs Still and Trading My Sorrows, Bro. Juno shared how storms will come into our lives, yet, we can be still, knowing that God will always save us; in whatever tempest we may find ourselves in, we should always say ‘Yes, Lord!’ to every service and mission He wants us to accomplish.

A short film entitled, “The Shepherd: A Story of the First Christmas,” was shown for the movie watching night. The short film tells the story of a young, limping shepherd, deemed unworthy by the church elders, who awaits for the coming of the promised Savior. While he and his fellow shepherds were in a night watch, the dark sky suddenly turned bright, indicating the presence of the angels who heralded the birth of the promised Savior, Jesus. The shepherd was instantly healed as he was running excitedly to meet the Savior, Jesus Christ. You can watch the short film and relive that blessed feeling in this link.
The last live prayer meeting was during the SOJC’s 33rd and SOJCFI’s 19th Anniversaries celebration in July. The prayer meetings continue to be livestreamed via Zoom for everyone who cannot join physically, especially those in other countries.
