The month began with a deeply moving message from Mr. Jun Young Teves, Director of the Future Generation Department. Addressing the congregation, he emphasized the importance of leading a life of faith centered on our relationship with our Heavenly Parent and True Parents. His heartfelt message resonated with the members, encouraging them to renew their spiritual commitment and embrace their roles as faith leaders within their families and communities. The service served as a powerful reminder of the core values that bind the community in unity and love.

On the following Sunday, Rev. John Rhodbert Gregorio, Senior Pastor of Metro Manila, delivered a sermon entitled, “Find Your Meek and Humble Self Where God Can Dwell.” His message called on each member to embody meekness and humility, qualities that allow God’s

spirit to dwell within. Following the sermon, the final pilot testing for the Holy Sacrament was conducted. Members received the sacred offering with deep sincerity, marking a significant spiritual milestone for the community. The entire service provided a moment of deep reflection, encouraging members to nurture their inner character and apply the sermon’s values in their daily lives.

During this service, Ms. Ella Mae Perez was officially appointed as the Coordinator and Director of the Future Generation Department for Area 1. In her address, she shared an inspiring message and presented a report outlining the recent accomplishments and activities of the youth. Her speech highlighted the vital role of the younger generation in carrying forward the mission and inspired the congregation to continuously invest in youth education and engagement. Her appointment was warmly received and celebrated by the community.
