God’s Grace Program recipients and Ms. Val Gerochi in heartfelt prayer and sharing during the September 2025 Prayer Breakfast at Kidzone, University Church.

The God’s Grace Program once again brought people together in fellowship during the Devotional and Prayer Breakfast held at Kidzone, University Church, last September 6, 2025. It was not only a time of prayer and devotion but also a moment of encouragement for the program’s recipients and the wider CPU community.

The devotional began with a call to worship led by Ms. Val Gerochi, followed by an opening prayer from Ms. Gab Villaflor. Their words invited everyone to focus on God’s presence and prepared the hearts of the people to receive His message.

The morning’s highlight was the message of Rev. Dr. Cris Amorsolo Sian, who shared from 2 Timothy 3:1–10. He reminded everyone that in Timothy’s time, people lived dangerously without God. He then emphasized Paul’s instruction for Timothy to remain faithful and use Scripture as his guide. Finally, he challenged today’s believers to also take a stand for their faith, especially in a world filled with distractions and struggles. His message deeply touched the audience, encouraging them to keep God at the center of their lives.

After the message, the God’s Grace Committee and the University Church Board of Deacons led small group sharing with the program’s recipients. These group conversations allowed people to open up about their experiences, share encouragement, and build a stronger sense of family and faith. The session was brought to a close with a prayer led by Mr. Alejo Gemanga.

The morning ended with a shared breakfast where everyone enjoyed both food and fellowship. More than a meal, it became a symbol of unity and joy, a reminder that the program is about both spiritual and practical nourishment.

The God’s Grace Program continues to be a blessing by providing not only support but also hope and encouragement to its recipients. The September Prayer Breakfast was a powerful reminder that God’s grace works best when it is shared in community, leaving everyone with renewed strength, joy, and faith.
