We have been terribly busy for the past 6 months. Our chapel was in a midst of general renovation and we have been helping a lot, especially at nights and weekends. Today, all of our efforts and sacrifices were rewarded by God, as our chapel was rededicated by our Executive Minister, Brother Eduardo V. Manalo through an online streaming worship service.
The administration is indeed guided by the hands of God. We witnessed this firsthand. We wrote a letter a week ago requesting that our chapel dedication be done on the 30th of June at the earliest, if not on the end of July. But the Administration decided that it would be done today, the 26th of June instead. We had less than a week left to finish everything which wasn't easy. But with the help of many brethren we were able to finish everything just before the appointed time.
Our dedication was done at 2pm today. While we were in the middle of our worship service, the NSW government announced that Sydney will go into strict lockdown for the next two weeks starting 6pm today. Had the church administration not pushed us for 30 Jun dedication, we would have faced problems because (1) we wouldn't be able to hold a worship service in the chapel on the 30th, and even if we could, (2) we wouldn't even be able to complete the work because everyone's supposed to stay at home during the lockdown.
Because of the guidance of God, the administration's decision made the dedication possible for us. Truly a great blessing.
