We Christians or Born Again Christian's traditionally Celebrate ThanksGiving Celebration once a year. It is like Feast in Catholic Religion.
In dictionary.com it means- the act of giving thanks; grateful acknowledgment of benefits or favors, especially to God. an expression of thanks, especially to God. a public celebration in acknowledgment of divine favor or kindness. A day set apart for giving thanks to God.
I will be summarizing the happenings recently because I cannot tell you all what is happening from beginning to end.
*Preparation
When I saw outside it's raining but I never feel doubt because I know God is Preparing good weather for to day. The Venue that we are celebrating is open field or Resort which is named "L'Circulio Garden Resort". I am packing my things that I need to bring in the Venue. Days after the Celebration I always conclude in my prayers the good weather and successful Celebration and indeed God answered all my Prayers. Praise God!
Praising and Worshipping God.
Before we start all of the activities, we start first to Praising and Worshipping God. All of People Clapping and Raising their hands to give Praise to God. Praising and Worshipping him for all the Goodness that he done to us in a year.
First Fruit and Age Offering
First Fruit Offering- First Fruit means giving God an offering base on your source of income, and it's testing your faith in God. For example, you have your first salary in your job, that amount of salary you'll be give to God and it should be full amount of salary. You are not force to Give and it's base of your heart and faith. If it is hard for you to give that amount don't force yourself because it is better to give small amount and it's from your heart than you give big amount but your mind and heart is murmuring. Giving Your Best!
Age Offering- As what I understand, Age offering is giving to God the amount of money according to your Age. For example, You are 20 years old then you must 20 pesos.
Remember God Loves the Cheerful Giver
Water Baptism
After the Church service, my Pastor and leaders baptist those people who did not yet baptist in the water.
How important is your baptism?
It is your personal identification with the greatest act of human history—the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Baptism doesn't save you—salvation comes by faith alone (Ephesians 2:8-9). Your guilt before God is removed the moment you trust in Christ. But baptism is your personal testimony to, and the inward assurance of, your passage from the old life to the new life.- Christianity.com
