Day 6, the last day of our VCS, was full of learning, fun, and fellowship. We learned about the Sacrament of Holy Orders (Orden) through the story entitled โ€œFirst Honor,โ€ which reflects how Jesus chooses individuals to become priests and servants of God. We also had a drama presentation showing how the priest leads during the Holy Mass together with the altar servers, helping us understand their important roles in the Church.

We also discussed the Sacrament of Matrimony or Kasal, relating it to the story โ€œGunting,โ€ which taught us about love, unity, and commitment in marriage.

To end our VCS journey, we had our final fellowship and shared snacks together. This moment strengthened our faith, friendship, and desire to serve God and His Church. We shared many thoughts and experiences, and many of us became more inspired to participate and engage in church activities.

We would also like to express our heartfelt thanks to Maโ€™am Kitkat Barcelona for sponsoring our snacks. May God bless you always.โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

As we reached Day 5 of our Vacation Church School here at IFI Ilabas, another meaningful and faith-filled day was shared by the children, youth, and volunteers. Today, we learned about the ๐’๐š๐œ๐ซ๐š๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐‡๐จ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐„๐ฎ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ, one of the most important sacraments of our Christian faith.

One of the highlights of todayโ€™s activity was the training for aspiring altar servers. The participants were taught how to properly serve during the Holy Eucharist Mass and become more familiar with the flow, responsibilities, and sacredness of the celebration. It was truly inspiring to see the youth willingly learn and prepare themselves to serve God and the Church with dedication and reverence.

We also discussed the ๐’๐š๐œ๐ซ๐š๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐‡๐จ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐”๐ง๐œ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐จ๐ซ โ€œ๐๐š๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌโ€ through the story entitled โ€œTabang!โ€, helping the children understand the importance of prayer, healing, comfort, and Godโ€™s presence during times of sickness and difficulty. Through storytelling, sharing, and activities, the participants were able to reflect on Godโ€™s love and care for His people.

Indeed, todayโ€™s activities were filled with learning, faith, fun, and spiritual growth. We truly enjoyed every moment together as one family in Christ, continuing to strengthen our relationship with God and with one another. ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ™

Another meaningful and spirit-filled day was shared during our Vacation Church School. Today, we learned about the ๐’๐š๐œ๐ซ๐š๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐‚๐จ๐ง๐Ÿ๐ข๐ซ๐ฆ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง through the story titled โ€œ๐‘๐ž๐ ๐š๐ฅ๐จโ€, which taught us about the ๐†๐ข๐Ÿ๐ญ๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐‡๐จ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐’๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐ข๐ญ. To make the lesson more meaningful and interactive, the children and youth presented a short drama about ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐†๐ข๐Ÿ๐ญ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐‘๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐‰๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ, showing how the Holy Spirit guides us in making good and faithful decisions in life.

One of the most touching highlights of todayโ€™s activity was our short confession and prayer moment. Each participant wrote their sins on a piece of paper, offered prayers, placed them into a basket, and lit a candle as a symbol of surrender, repentance, faith, and hope in Godโ€™s mercy.

Todayโ€™s activities not only deepened our understanding of the sacraments, but also strengthened our faith, unity, and relationship with God. Truly, it was a day filled with learning, reflection, joy, and spiritual growth.
