I n the Philippines, the Church of God Assembly observed the Feast of Tabernacles in Maranding, Lanao del Norte, Mindanao. We were all deeply thankful for the fair weather and the many blessings we received, making it the happiest Feast ever. The Feast opened with a sense of gladness and excitement among ap- proximately one hundred attendees (brethren and guests). There was a profound feeling that the Kingdom of God is fast approaching, and we focused our theme on Matthew 25:34—emphasizing awareness and readiness for Jesus Christ’s return. Our leaders shared messages cen- tered on preparing for God’s com- ing Kingdom and our future roles as kings and priests. We were also reminded of our responsibilities re- garding first tithe, second tithe, of- ferings, firstlings, and firstfruits as a way to learn to fear the Lord. A highlight of the Feast included messages from Mr. Jason Fritts and Mr. Sheldon Monson, who provided insight into the judgment of God, eternity, and the blessing of the chil- dren. Both our physical and spiritual needs were fully satisfied during this blessed time. Our social programs, featuring night shows and dances, were a joyful expression of our de- light in the Feast of God. Very truly yours in Jesus’ name, Nepie Q.
