The Servants of Jesus gathered on August 2 to celebrate the 38th anniversary of the Servants of Jesus Community and the 23rd anniversary of the SOJC Foundation with a theme Jubilee of Hope and Faith.
The event opened with vibrant music and prayer, setting the tone for an evening of reflection and celebration. Fr. Chris Salonga delivered a powerful talk on the Jubilee of Hope and Faith. His message was brought to life through a symbolic candle-lighting ceremony.
Sis Myra Bolo, the head servant of SOJC, and Sis Gerlie Aman, the president of the SOJC Foundation, lit their candles from a single flame and passed it on until the entire community was illuminated, a moving reminder that hope spreads when shared.
The worship was led by Bro Juno, head of the Music Ministry. The program also presented a song featuring Bro Juno’s original composition entitled Kabataan ni Hesus performed by the Music Ministry. The whole community enjoyed fellowship over dinner and engaged in trivia games celebrating the stories and milestones of the SOJ community and SOJCFI, culminating in the blowing of cakes to mark the joyous occasion.
Before the night concluded, Sis Gerlie shared her testimony of God’s miracles and invited the community to give their love offerings. The celebration ended with the community singing the Jubilee Song, accompanied by a special mime performance from the Dance Ministry, followed by a closing worship song. This anniversary was more than just an event; it was a call to carry the light forward, to bless others with renewed hope and peace, and to remember that when we share our light, Hope Overflows.
