Goodbye Heartbreak Concluded

June 7 became the day young people of the church became more clued-up. Young members of our church flocked in the center for the recently concluded event dubbed, “Goodbye Heartbreak.” The event became a success as over 400 of the church’s single professionals and youth attended with their questions ready for asking.

Small Group leaders will have quite a handful of new members for out of the over 400 young people who attended Goodbye Heartbreak, 77 are still without small groups. Confirmation that the event struck a chord in the hearts of young people, the 4pm youth service produced seven young people responding to the altar call and accepting our Lord as their savior.

Goodbye Heartbreak was conceptualized on the premise that love and relationship are a natural part of the young and the single individual. Unsurprisingly, love reveals fewer answers than expected. The event provided a venue to casually ask questions, obliterating legalisms and the usual tendencies to assume and presume.

Goodbye Heartbreak officially started 12pm with the registrations eventually becoming fully packed. Attendees were treated to a couple of love songs over candlelight performed by Ms. Rinka. Mr. Edrei Canda, Ms. Tina Chris de Vera and Ms. Kat Mendoza hosted the event with much zest. Pastors Jansen with Ms. Ging, Sonny with Ms. Malou and King plus Mr. Tim Limgengo, Migs Calayan and Mr. Stefan Suarez with Ms. Mish eagerly answered queries with wisdom. Goodbye Heartbreak summarily was well received as much of the evaluation sheets concluded that almost 70% of the attendees wished there were more time to ask questions. The event ended 3pm as preparations for the 4pm service commenced.

In setting the trend of casually asking questions, a follow up meet have been scheduled. Dubbed “7/11,” the meet will focus more on single people and their queries regarding love and relationship; much like Goodbye Heartbreak only a much more unambiguous setting.
