3rd and Final Day - Formation Seminar for PPC members
SANDAKAN 29th November 2009 : Today, being the third and final day of the Formation Seminar for PPC members started off with an input session by Brother John D'Cruz on 'Institutional Church' and 'Community Church - a new way of being Church.'
Telupid Parish Grouping
- Increasing awareness (conscious of the situation, the realities, the difficulties)
- Deeper reflection (knowing the life of Christ, a happier way to live,be a better person)
- Action possibilities (promote a better communion, bring out the values of Jesus Christ)
Bishop Julius urged everyone to be watchful, that is to be more aware of the realities happening within the Church, pray and meditate as well as to reflect deeply based on Christ's teachings before responding to the situations. In life process it is important to share the time, talents and treasure for the growth of the Church.
He went on to say, 'The seminar has just ended but actual work in building and sustaining Basic Ecclesial Communities in each parish will have to begin after this'.
He expressed his appreciation to all who had contributed towards the success of the seminar.
Esther Alim Albert from HTC Tawau in an interview has this to say, 'I am glad that I have come to this seminar. The seminar is well organized. The facilitator had helped me to see things differently based on the teaching of Christ. It has enhanced my leadership skill.'

INNER HEALING AND TRANSFORMATION SEMINAR
Tawau : The English CCR & Filipino Community of Holy Trinity Church, together with the Diocesan Service Team of the Kota Kinabalu Archdiocese, jointly held the above seminar on 8th November 2009.
The parish indeed felt very privileged to be able to hold this seminar in Tawau because it is usually held in Bundu Tuhan only. More than 200 people turned up for the seminar, with quite a number from Lahad Datu, Semporna and other outstations like Luasong and Bombalai.
The teams also gave an extra input and sharing session to the Filipino community on the importance of the word of God in their daily lives.
