SIMBANG MADALING ARAW 

Sampaloc Bible Christian Community celebrated three dawns before Christmas with the community in the first ever Simbang Madaling Araw. From December 22-24, the church gathered together with our neighbors to share Christmas messages, testimonies of God’s goodness for the whole year, songs of rejoicing and prayer items before the sun was up. We also had fellowship and breakfast together before heading off to respective workplaces.

It felt like a real close-knit family gathering together to praise the Lord for His goodness in 2011! We heard testimonies of God’s faithfulness in the lives of the people living near SBCC and how the church had helped them in their spiritual growth. Praises like that were worth waking up early for. We also devoted those days to intercede for the coming year and for our friends and loved ones who need to know about Jesus.

After almost two decades, SBCC once again regrouped its occasional choir to serenade members and friends with carols off the Christmas Offering album. ‘The Christmas Offering: Celebrating God’s Greatest Gift of All’ is a compilation of original songs and re-arranged familiar carols to proclaim the coming of the greatest offering of all, the Lord Jesus Christ!

SBCC in partnership with Matus Jewellery and Wedding Boutique visited Hagonoy, Bulacan on October 5 to distribute relief goods and to spread the message of God’s salvation to flood victims in the area. Members braved the waters and midday heat to pass on bags of clothes, potable water and instant goods.

News reports reveal that only large vehicles like military trucks and boats are allowed to enter some of the baranggays. Due to tropical storm Pedring, 26 baranggays in Hagonoy were submerged in water.  Most families have lived on their roof tops for days and have a difficult time purchasing basic commodity.
