God With Us (GWU)–Mulgrave Church celebrated its 7th Year Anniversary last 14 July 2013. Ps Castor Reyes started the church’s humble beginnings in 2006 with the fellowship of new Filipino migrants in a small unit in Springvale. This group grew bigger and needed to transfer to a bigger venue that is now at the Southern Community Centre located at 27 Rupert Drive, Mulgrave. This is one of the satellite churches of God with Us International Church organisation based in Seaford with its founder, Ps Rogelio Bucao Sr.
The anointed Sis Aurea Reyes and the music team prepared the hearts of God’s people to connect and dwell in His presence during the praise and worship. They played soulful songs inspired by the Spirit of God that touched the hearts and lifted the spirits.
A 74-year old powerful speaker from Nueva Ecija, Philippines Ps Sesenando Santos was the guest speaker to deliver the
At the end of the sermon, Ps Santos asked his son Bro. Evangel Santos to sing the old time favourite song “Why have you chosen me” as he invited the congregation in a culminating finish to stand up for the Lord, make a commitment to remain faithful to Him until the end, and hold that blessed hope in the hearts of those who truly believe. With that, everyone stood and responded positively. Truly, God works in the hearts of His people.
A short program of special numbers followed the service. This was led by the Children’s Ministry of GWU Mulgrave where the children played musical instruments like the keyboards, guitars, and the drums with the singers singing “Your love never fails”. They will be the future Music Ministry of GWU Mulgrave. GWU Main Seaford, Ambassadors of Christ Cranbourne, and GWU Chelsea also sang delightful songs for the Lord.
The event ended with a sumptuous feast of delicious Filipino food and delicacies enjoyed by everyone.
