\u201cHearts in Worship, Hands at Work\u201d<\/h2>\n

14th Anniversary Theme of WIN-Seattle\/Tacoma<\/p>\n

O<\/strong>ur community celebrated its 14th anniversary on the last week of October. This celebration of God\u2019s favor and faithfulness involved a collection of activities that both counted the previous year\u2019s gains and prepared the leaders and workers for the coming church year.<\/p>\n

We started the celebration by going on a retreat entitled \u201cUnplugged<\/strong>\u201d\u00a0on October 18-19, 2013 at Lakeview Christian Retreat Center in Auburn, WA \u00a0. The lakeside venue was ideal for reconnecting and recharging. Their prayer times were guided by \u201cThe Circle Maker \u2013 Praying Circles Around Your Biggest Dreams and Greatest Fears\u201d, a video curriculum by Mark Batterson, Lead Pastor of National Community Church in Washington, D.C. \u00a0They spent the last few moments of the retreat interceding for the church and its upcoming activities, praying for one another, and anointing with oil.<\/p>\n

On Friday, October 25, all the Workers gathered at the church Center for \u201cWorkers Appreciation Night\u201d. \u00a0Pastor Vino, Sis. Maica and their children, Amica (14 yrs. old) and Vito (9 yrs. old) hosted the night and showed their appreciation for all the hard work and sacrifice that the workers had displayed so excellently to serve the Lord in the past year. \u00a0Food, gifts, games and special numbers were Pastor Vino & Sis. Maica\u2019s way of saying, \u00a0\u201cThank you, we appreciate you!\u201d to all the workers of the church.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, October 27, 2013, the celebration culminated in a Worship Service where about 150 people gathered to praise and thank the Lord for His unfailing love and faithfulness to the community. \u00a0Pastor Vino also introduced 2014’s upcoming theme: \u00a0\u201cHearts in Worship, Hands at Work (Pray. Connect. Serve)\u201d. \u00a0Sis. Maica Atienza led the Praise and Worship team and special numbers were handled by The Hanson Brothers, a Christian singing group that ministers to churches and nursing facilities in the Puget Sound area. It was indeed special!<\/p>\n

Pastor Dondi Castillo, associate pastor, introduced and presented a slideshow of the \u201cYear in Review\u201d in photos. \u00a0Pastor Babes Paulate, WIN-USA Overseer was there to pray for the Pastor, Council and Leadership Community of the local church. \u00a0Pastor Vino Atienza preached the Word and gave an altar call where about a dozen people received Jesus as their Lord and Savior. The Choir sang \u201cThe Mission\u201d as they closed out the celebration. \u00a0The anniversary lunch treat was served and the celebration continued into the early afternoon \u2013 hearing more special presentations by The Youth Ministry and again The Hanson Brothers.<\/p>\n
