Just Me!

for everyone

Saturday, April 26 - from 9 AM to 12:30 noon Moving From Me to We - Victory Fort's Marriage Seminar was a lot of fun and a very rewarding event.

The seminar is Victory Fort's way of equipping families as well as serving the community.

The seminar's theme was a car trip into future. How to get to where our marriage should be going. Designed for marriages that need a check-up, tune-up, filler-up or even an overhaul.

Topics that were discussed included Vision - Unity - Communication - Intimacy, simply put - you can't get to where you're going if you don't even know where you're going.

Pastor Robert Hern interviewing participants during the seminar's interactive moments.

With him as MC the couples were treated to non-stop laughter. Robert has the uncanny ability to make you laugh and then tell you what's wrong with your life. More importantly he shows you how God can fix it.

Here's one of the stations along the way. That's me and my sweetie having our pictures taken after the sessions.

The theme and design was spearheaded by Pastor Bernard Marquez complimented by the team of pastors Jun Aguilar and Dennis Isleta who executed the event flawlessly. Thanks guys you did a great job. It always takes a team to pull off an excellent event.

Here's Pastor Paolo Punzalan with wife Jenn making a point. These two did an awesome job explaining the value and importance of Unity and Communication in 2 separate sessions.

Paolo is our church's Kid's Pastor and the Lead Pastor for our evening services at 5 and 7 PM.

Thanks Paolo and Jenn you guys were fantastic.

It's been a while since Marie and I have done a marriage thingee. Over the years I have enjoyed sharing candidly our experiences of the last 25 years. It's also a good time to remember and review.

Marriage is something you simply can't take for granted. As a pastor, seminars like these force me to have a check up first before everyone else gets one. I'm just so grateful to God for what I do.

Pictures
They were young and not so young. Many were married, some about to get married, thinking of getting married or just wanting to know what marriage is all about. They listened, talked, discussed, wrote, worked, laughed and cried.

Kudos to everyone who came. There's a lot you can do on a Saturday morning but the decision to take time out to better a marriage is an indicator of a desire to get to the next level. For that I congratulate all the paricipants and thank all the leaders who invited and made the whole event a success.

Thanks Pastor Joey, Pastor Pao, Ms Marie and Ms Jen - we not only had so much fun (you guys were hilariously funny!), we got a lot of insightful learnings and tips on how to go about our marriage. It was a necessary "pit stop" coming in to the seminar, and we came out refreshed and recharged. Thanks for taking time to do seminars like this.

this was our first marriage seminar after 3 years of marriage. belle and i loved it. it was so helpful for us, we got a lot of "practical applications" planned out as a result of it.

we need to do another one! and a parenting one in this format. :D

When i walked in the room towards the end of the seminar, I was found in an unfamiliar place, if you will. I loved the concept with all the traffic signs, from the lobby, to the centerpieces, all the way to the stalls all around the room.

Great job to the team behind this. I'm sure it helped drive home the point.

Is there going to be another one? :)

we really enjoyed every minute of the seminar...walang dull moments, most especially the Romance part.we learned alot about pastor Joey's secret on how to earn "pogi points". We also learned from Jen that men are really "disconnected", now Grace knows why sometimes i'm acting weird....sana maulit soon...
