32 Years of Faith, Fellowship, and Fruitfulness! 🏛️✨
February 22, 2026
What a magnificent day of victory and grace! We gathered with hearts full of gratitude to celebrate the 32nd Founding Anniversary of Alegria United Methodist Church. From the powerful Word shared to the fellowship at the table, every moment was a testament to God’s enduring faithfulness.
📖 Our Theme
> “A 32nd Founding Year Of Grace: Rooted in the Unfailing Love of Jesus Christ”
> "So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness." — Colossians 2:6-7
🙌 Heartfelt Gratitude
Our celebration was truly enriched by those who shared their time, talents, and spirits:
* A Powerful Word: A deep thank you to our guest preacher, Rev. Josephine Abillar (Nuevo Iloco UMC), for a message that challenged and stirred the souls of both the Alegria and Palo UMC congregations.
* Melodies of Praise: To the SingDayag Choir, thank you for songs that truly reverberated through our hearts and lifted our spirits to the heavens.
* Worship Leadership: Our big thanks to Teacher Angelie Yumang for being our worship leader.
* Visionary Leadership: Our snappy salute to the Church Council led by Myrna Ferrer, all lay organizations, and the N.O.W. (Nurture, Outreach, & Witness) team for the seamless planning of this milestone.
* Our Roots: Thank you to Vherna Comagon for bringing our journey to life through the reading of our Church History.
* Milestones: A huge congratulations to our LSM Finishers! We are so proud of your growth.
🏗️ Building the Future
We also took a moment to recognize the pillars of our physical growth. A special thank you to Atty. Kristine Ferrer and the Sunshine Foundation for being major contributors to the physical structures of both Palo UMC and Alegria UMC.
