Wrapping Up the Year in Worship and Gratitude
As we gathered on the last Sunday of the year, our church family came together not just to close a chapter, but to celebrate the faithfulness of God who has carried us through every season. It was a day filled with joyful worship, heartfelt thanksgiving, and meaningful moments that reminded us that God is always true to His promises.
We ended the year anchored in the greatest promise fulfilled—God’s redemptive plan revealed through the birth of Jesus Christ. As we remembered Christmas, we were reminded that the same God who sent His Son to bring hope, salvation, and new life continues to work faithfully among us today. Emmanuel—God with us—has been with us all throughout this year.
The celebration was made even more special as we witnessed the ordination of Pastor Mike Ryan Cutad. It was a warm and sacred moment as the church affirmed God’s calling, faithfulness, and grace upon his life and ministry. Through prayers, laying on of hands, and words of encouragement, we rejoiced together, recognizing that God continues to raise leaders after His own heart to shepherd His people. Truly, “He who calls you is faithful, and He will do it” (1 Thessalonians 5:24).
The day was also filled with laughter and joy through our year-end ganap—the exchange gift and raffle brought smiles, excitement, and a sense of family as we celebrated not just the end of the year, but the gift of fellowship God has given us. These simple yet meaningful moments reminded us that joy is found in togetherness and gratitude.
As we look back on the year, we see God’s hand in every step—through challenges, victories, growth, and transformation. And as we look ahead, we do so with hope and confidence, knowing that the God who fulfilled His promise through the birth of Jesus will continue to fulfill His purposes in and through us.
We close the year with hearts full of praise, eyes fixed on Christ, and lives surrendered to His mission—celebrating God’s faithfulness, rejoicing in His redemption, and stepping into the new year with faith and expectation.
