Last Saturday, December 27, Evelyn and I drove from our place in Antipolo to Baclaran Unida Church for a first-year memorial service for Bishop Alfredo Reyes, which was also designed in part to be an Unida reunion.
I’m posting several pictures here for Unida members to see, so that next year you might consider attending the second year memorial service and fellowship. Click on the thumbnails to see larger pictures.
For Rev. Gamaliel Filio’s account of the service and fellowship, click here.

Last Thursday, October 1, Rachel’s school sent out over 200 staff and students in several teams to the surrounding areas hit by severe flooding caused by Tropical Storm “Ondoy” (“Ketsana”).
Even such a poor country as Bangladesh has erected concrete shelters on stilts as emergency havens for flood victims.

Nostalgic.  I feel like looking back to the good old days of simple love and fellowship between brethren of Unida – from different local congregations yet one in spirit and in truth – singing hymns and anthems and worshiping with reverence and awe.
Hi Irma. I am glad I came to meet you here because I was asking Evelyn and Beth about you during this Reunion and Memorial Service. Please email me so that I can include you in my loop of Unida Internet Travellers to whom I send regular communications and updates about happenings in Unida. Nollie has my email address.
Because Christ lives,
Pastor Galying
