In celebration of Mother’s Day (the 2nd Sunday of May) TBC husbands gave a heartwarming surprise to the mothers by singing the song, “Happy the home, when God is there.” Deacon Arnold and Pastor Rodel gave a small talk of appreciation for the sacrifices and affection mothers give to their families. The perceptive husbands knew that mothers also love flowers, so each of them gave to their lovely wives a beautiful red rose to complete the treat.
Not to be outdone, the wives pulled out a dessert somewhere and everyone had a simple, but joyful celebration of Mother’s Day— TBC style.

How lovely to see  fresh blooms on the piano, every Lord’s Day in TBC.  Thanks to the ministry of sisters Nel, Nina and Ning. Last Sunday (May 5), after the Lord’s Supper, the three flower arrangements they brought were so nice to let go, that those with camera took pictures of them.  Later, two sisters grouped the three arrangements together on a table, and requested that their pictures be taken. Soon, mothers, singles, youth, children and couples took turns to have their pictures taken as well. Flowers not only brighten a room,  they also create a different kind  of fellowship opportunity for TBC members.

People with an eye for beauty can’t stand dull, old, plain-looking  plates and wine holder, especially if they are to be used for the Lord’s Supper.  Thanks to TBC’s lovely couple, Nor and Ningning Buno, who took upon themselves the ministry of beautifying the Lord’s Supper table, bread container,  glasses and all. It was a big upgrade from the usual (as can be seen from this picture). It also shows how anybody can contribute to the work of the Lord by just looking around for some things to improve.

Sunday is always a blessing. But the last Sunday of April (April 28)  was extra special. TBC members and visitors celebrated a  number of momentous events.

The prayer fellowship of TBC women was made lovelier by the presence of Naomi the first baby of Paolo and Marane Monticillo. After months of bed rest and recuperation from Caesarian operation, Marane finally joined the church in worship and fellowship. She said she has a lot to thank God for. We are blessed to see her beaming with joy. She was tried but came out of it stronger and happier. God is good indeed. Welcome Naomi to your TBC family.

Pastor  Rodel Lasco was the speaker in the 2nd luncheon fellowship of male pastors and men hosted by Kalibo Reformed Baptist Church.  It was held on April 15, 2013, from 9:00 to 3:00 pm in the church building in Cipriano Road, Estancia, Kalibo. Pastor  Rodel gave three insightful lectures on the topic of Biblical Manhood. The question and answer portion was  very informative as well. The guests said they are looking forward for the fellowship/conference next year. About 29 pastors and men attended the conference.
