December 2011 anticipates MCGI’s International Thanksgiving for the last quarter
Members Church of God International’s (MCGI) calendar for the month of December highlights the congregation’s International Thanksgiving for the 4th quarter of 2011:
1) Aside from the regular bi-monthly Bible Expositions on Friday nights, the first-ever marathon Bible Exposition was launched last December 18 at 8:00 in the morning, Philippine time.
With the new set-up, members can invite guests in their respective homes, offices and local chapters and connect to the twelve-hour Bible Exposition to be anchored by Bro. Daniel Razon. Using a personal computer or a laptop and a stable internet connection, visitors can ask questions to Bro. Eli Soriano.
2) The Mass Indoctrination that opens on the 5th of the month gathers almost a thousand souls in December 17’s Mass Baptism. The figure again includes new converts from South America.
3) The 4th Quarter Mass Blood Letting of the Kamanggagawa Foundation Inc., in cooperation with UNTV Channel 37 is supported by the members of congregation. With the different MCGI local chapters as venues, almost 2,000 blood bags are gathered as the activity ends.
4) December 23-25 marks MCGI’s 4th Quarter International Thanksgiving. Once again, the ADD Convention Center is flocked by a massive volume of participants from different provinces and cities. Almost 4,000 monitoring centers joined the event from different parts of the world.
5) It was another night to remember when composers and lyricists of the MCGI congregation get together to showcase their opus and vie for this year’s A Song of Praise Music Festival Year-end Finals.
Entries come from Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao, Hongkong, Papua New Guinea, Singapore, Brunei and South America. Of the fifteen entries, winners were chosen by Bro. Eli Soriano himself. The winning divisions/chapters are as follows:
Third runner-up: South America and Papua New Guinea
