CORNERSTONE CALAOCAN - SANTIAGO ASSEMBLY OF GOD

On the first month of this year 2010, we, the members of the Cornerstone Calaocan

sat together and planned for the short term goals toward the improvement of our church. But before the planning proper for the church, we first set up short term goals for ourselves. We also assessed our roles and personal responsibilities and obligations for the church and our relationship with God.

It was on this same month also, on January 28,2010, when some members of the church were chosen to attend or participate in the Cornerstone Recognized Equipped Workers (CREW) orientation seminar at Sefton Village. The members who were chosen to undergo the year round CREW trainings are Sis. Cristy, Sis. Eva, Sis. Sheena, Sis Alvi and of our very supportive and ever active Pastor, Pastor Ariel Molina. Our shout is Go! Go! Go! Cornerstone Calaocan! We are very sure you can make it up to graduation! God Bless you all.

The month of February as a love month was chosen by the church members to start the dawn watch from 2:00 am to 5:00 am every Friday of the week. Everyone indeed are very excited to attend this activity. The overnight prayer meeting every 3rd Friday of the month is also on going. We are all inviting brothers and sisters in Christ to join us in prayer and experience the overwhelming joy, happiness, peace and unending blessings of the Lord!

Last February 14,2010, our CREW members who belonged to Team I have their first visitation and observation to their assigned church at Cornerstone Church San Isidro under Pastor Adonis Manango. According to them, they really enjoyed being with the members of this church. The church leaders and members were so accommodating and very enthusiastic. Kudos to all of them especially to Pastor Adonis Manango.

Starting this month also, we plan to conduct our home visitations to all our members. We shall have an eating fellowship also in all the members' homes which shall start at Sis. Edna's Residence. This was agreed upon by everybody to keep the harmonious relationship of all members of the church and to make them more closer and united. Another way of keeping them together as one and at the same time enlarging our territory is through cell grouping. This was planned to started this month also. We are all looking forward for the success of our plans for our church for the Glory of our God!!! Please continue to pray for us.

This month also, eight (8) anointed pastors from the different Cornerstone Churches visited our church and encouraged all the leaders and members. They were Pastor Winston Bao-in, Pastor Mark Ritchie, Pastor Matthew Kerr, Pastor Benjamin Domingo, Pastor Adonis Manango, Pastor Nestor Domingo, Pastor Romel Tejada and Pastor John Thomas "Joboy" Mangadap. Aside from the powerful Words of God that they have shared, they shall always be remembered because of their witty and happy thoughts, inspiring teachings and warm friendship. Of course we cannot forget the joyous voice of Pastor Adonis and the inspiring smiles, thoughts and testimonies of the youngest promising Pastor of Cornerstone - Pastor John Thomas "Joboy" Mangadap. We're so blessed!

The last Saturday of this month as declared as a working Saturday. The members of our church headed by the music ministry and the children ministry joined forces to beautify the facade of our church. They planted flowering and ornamental plants and did the landscaping to make the facade of our church look beautiful. It was really very tiring but enjoyable afternoon for everyone of us. It is really fulfilling to work for the Glory of God!
