In my 43 years of existence, it was only this time that I attended this training. I thought that training like this was only for the pastors of other religions together with their wives. But it's for all of us especially those who want to serve the Lord or who want to be shepherds. The training was done last Saturday at Lurente's Food Hub and it was attended by the Governance of BCBP Community Bogo Chapter and committed members. This was facilitated by the brilliant and spiritual-oriented BCBP leaders of other Chapters within the region.
All about the venue
Laurente Food Hub is located at Taytayan Hills, Bogo City, Cebu. Going to Cebu it is on the left side. This food Hub is enclosed with glass doors, windows with curtains of which I didn't expect that this is a Food Hub. It's safe clean and spacious. Inside is well decorated with several unique paintings and artworks. It has an underground dining area to cater to diners when the main dining area is fully occupied. They served various delicious and nutritious menus.
The meeting started at 9:00 am and we arrived at almost 9:20. We got late a few minutes since we had a lot of house chores to attend to first. If not for our commitment and dedication to the community, we might not attend the training. The first session was about what is pastoral care, the application of scripture in BCBP, the good shepherd, formation, maintenance care, the one-on-one meeting, roles and functions of the unit leader and Action group leader.
They emphasize that everything we do, we do it out of love. It was also discussed that being a BCBP we must live to be righteous and skillful, be a responsible member of the BCBP, true to our commitment and primary responsibilities. We must also lay down our lives to our members too, attend to the needs of our members like their important happiness. As members, we must manage also our way of life and finances or money, time, and everything. A BCBP must learn how to live a disciplined way of life. If possible must extract impurities to see the exact images of ourselves. Therefore Being in a BCBP is not easy but it's a good avenue for a transformation of our lives and personality. The community helps us to strengthen our spiritual way of life.
That's all for now. Thank you for supporting and God bless!
