VOLUNTEERS HOLD REGULAR BIBLE STUDY & WORSHIP ASSEMBLY
The worship assembly which was started last April, was intended for Alpha and Tukod volunteers who do not belong to any groups. Thus, Tukod Volunteers Network finds it necessary to support these volunteers apart from giving them opportunity to serve the parish and sectoral groups through Tukod’s ABC approach to parish renewal.
The assembly is an opportunity to teach, announce and update volunteers on the current parish and sectoral projects or ministries, and an opportunity to pray their needs and the mission, to intercede one another and others as well.
This also holds true to the regular Bible Study which we conducted for volunteers every Wednesday morning at the Alpha Training Center, which was started informally since January this year.
Amazingly, from 4 volunteers, God gave us regular volunteers attending every week, to 12 volunteers. This is started with a worship, intercession and then mini-teaching on the Gospel reading for the day or the week, followed by our personal reflection and testimonies, and end this with a follow up on our ministry activities.
We are happy that volunteers with communities and groups made a commitment to come regularly. “This is our committed support which we felt that is really needed by new volunteers especially the youth.”, they said.
Finally we take our simple lunch together from our ‘pot luck’ and donations from our guests. This is the great time to fellowship with the other guests.
Furthermore, we would like to extend our thanks to Fr. Perseus Cabunoc and Fr. Mike Fabello of Mt. Carmel Parish and Archdiocesan Bible Apostolate respectively for their advices and the supply of BEC Bibles which we bought this at a very reasonable price.
