The child is a blessing from God’s above and as a Christians parent is one of our answer for His goodness to our life is giving back to Him the gift, He has in placed in our lives. It was last March 19, 2024 we have celebrated the 1st birthday celebration and the dedication of this precious child name Zoey Avegail of Mr. Jomarey and Mrs. Kareen C. Aplaon at Ipilan First Free Will Baptist Church officiated by Ptr. Freedom G. Amenin.
It was started with the opening prayer of Ptr. Anacito Linga and the message highlighted from the scripture in Mark 10:14 “But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is kingdom of God.” God is truly please every time the parent leads their child/ children in God. This striking and giving a motivation to let the child dedicated to Him, seek Him and serve Him at the very young age. This is being witnessed of our brethren, their family in Ipilan First Free Will Baptist Church and the chosen godparents of her parents who also take their responsibility to lead Zoey’s in life pleasing to God.
Praise God for another life being dedicated to God and life well spent for His glory. Then, everyone’s enjoy the food prepared by the family to show their thanksgiving for this precious life given by God.
