Starting with the “Sons and Daughters Encounter” (SADE), which had been renamed “Teens Encounter,” the HJMPC Youth Ministry has developed the following programs which minister to different age groups:

Jr. Kids Program         4-6 years old

Sr. Kids Program         7-12 years old

Teens Encounter         13-19 years old

Singles Encounter       20-40 years old

 

These programs share a common PURPOSE; i.e., for the youth participant

• To encounter oneself as a unique individual with talents and limitations, and created in the image and likeness of God;

• To encounter oneself as part of a family;

• To encounter oneself as son/ daughter of God; and

• To encounter oneself as a builder of God’s community.

Aside from these seminars-workshops, HJMPC has paid special attention and care to the youth by including in its Calendar of Activities a Monthly Youth General Assembly and a Prayer Meeting Youth Night (usually the fifth Tuesday/Wednesday of the month), providing the Ministry with subsidies and including the youth in most community-wide events and activities, particularly the Family Day, Santacruzan and the Christmas Party. 

The latest activity of the Youth Ministry was the collaboration with the Growth Ministry’s Buhay Espiritu Santo, conducted via FB Live on July 17, 2021.  Featured were Ate Angelica Galang, Ate Aaliyah Fabroa, Ate Stella Mariz de Ramos, and Ate Gelanie Jamero, who shared their faith-deepening experiences during their LSS/GSS, their learnings from these seminars and how they applied these learnings in their lives as students, young professionals and precious members of their families.  Ate Bea Medina, who acted as program host, was most engaging and insightful in her comments.  Uplifting music was provided by Ate Miles Sagun and Ate Norren Rodriguez with Ate Trisha Bolo on the piano.

2 Timothy 3 : 14-15

14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
