Grace Event II - Family Day (CYN Winnipeg)

Felice Matilla

The second part of the CYN’s Grace Event was focused on restoring the relationship between the members of the family. To kick-start the event, the high-spirited praise and worship team led the people on their feet as we sang glory to our God. Popcorn and canned drinks were given out to prepare everyone for the highlight of the event: October Baby. This movie touched the hearts of everyone in the room, as it purely embodies the love of the parents for their children and at the same time it presented the love and kindness of our Dear Lord to us.

Ministering came right after the movie. It was a solemn gesture of love and forgiveness between parents and children. An act that reminded everyone that we can always go back to the Lord and ask for forgiveness and it was also a remembrance of God’s never failing love for each and everyone. To end the event, families were encouraged to take part in getting their photos taken at the photo booth. Friends with invited guests and youth that were not together with their families were still accommodated, as everyone in the congregation is a family to each and everyone.

Our Lord has blessed us with the perfect families because He knows our needs and He knows who are the best people that will bring out the best in us. Misunderstandings are part of relationships and hurts are part of loving, but we can always go back and ask for forgiveness. God restores everything if we let Him. Home is where we feel loved, and we will always feel loved in the arms of our Father.

We continue to give back the Glory and Honour to Our Almighty God who made this event possible.
