"Songs of Salvation" the Concert @ the Lagro United Methodist Church

"Songs of Salvation" concert participants
 

For the past two weeks, we had been practicing for our youth’s concert, “Songs of Salvation”. Last night was the big night as the performances unfolded. The Lagro United Methodist Church youth and praise band presented a medley of spiritual songs and dances together with the youth groups from our two mission points at the Spring of Life (Palmera-Pitong Bahay) and Pangarap Village.

“Songs of Salvation” also showcased a drama through music and dance, and a black theater presentation, which messages centered on the value of having a solid faith-relationship with Christ. It highlights the fact that apart from Jesus we can do nothing. The concert celebrated the love and salvation by grace through Christ alone.

The Village United Methodist Church praise band led the “praise and worship” and Rev. Orlino Veron preached the message. Bro. John Paul Luna, gave a testimony about the value of Bible Study in the life of young and growing people, and how it had changed his life.

 The concert ended with a sort of candle lighting ceremony. While the worship leader sang, he passed the light down to each of the youth holding a small candle encircling the people inside the church. It aimed to symbolize how the light of Jesus should spread through the lives of each youth that profess that Jesus is his Lord and God.

It was a great concert for the Lord Jesus Christ. I'd like to acknowledge the able leadership of the UMYF President, Trixie and band leader Aaron. Also Elijah, Rozenne, youth leaders in the mission groups and the never ending support of the church leaders and youth advisers, Ghen, Sally and deaconess Roselle.

May God's name be praised and exalted in the midst of His people forever and ever, Amen.
