The Philippines is a sovereign country in 麻豆传媒AVeast Asia in the western Pacific Ocean and is an archipelago of 7,107 islands. Manilla is the capital.
Miriam Loessin led the service and Linda Hosegood was the organist, with ladies from Radisson and Borden participating. The service was about women seeking economic justice. A Bible reading from Matthew 20:1-16 was dramatized by ladies of the church, then different readers reflected on the theme.
Special guests were two ladies from the Philippines, Nikki Friesen of Radisson, who has lived in Canada for 25 years and in Radisson for 10 years, and Jenn Galvez, who works at the Model T Bar and Restaurant in Borden and has been in Canada less than two years.
