PHILIPPINES—Over 100 members of the Angeles City and Quezon City congregations of the Philadelphia Church of God played softball and Frisbee on December 3 at The Villages, Clark, Pampanga.
The Angeles City women and the Quezon City men prevailed in their respective softball contests against the opposing congregation. The Quezon City men then triumphed, 15-4, against a team of ministers and Philadelphia Youth Camp volunteers led by Preaching Elder Pedrito Cara. After a goat-meat lunch, members learned the basics of Frisbee and then turned the instruction into action.
Member Bemson Santiago remarked, “It really takes patience and self-control … so you can possibly have a high chance of hitting the ball.”
“I was able to reminisce [on] my happy childhood when we used to play softball,” member Ronald Pamintuan said. “I also was glad to play Frisbee with my son.”
