Simbang Gabi
Once again, the church held worship services called Simbang Gabi. Instead of the usual nine-day tradition, Simbang Gabi services were sponsored by the different church organizations from December 20-23. Each organization rendered a special number during their night. The services ended with the usual salo-salo consisting of a soup with matching puto or tinapay.

Baccalaureate Sunday
It was not just an ordinary Sunday at UCCP-Indang. The Baccalaureate Worship Service on April 25, 2010 was special for two reasons.
First, it was time to recognize church members who graduated from school and those who received recognition in their respective academic work. God is indeed faithful and true to our pupils and students in their studies. The college and high school graduates shared how the Lord guided and equipped them throughout their student life most specially during times of struggles.
Second, it was somehow a reunion of sort because Rev. Victor Felicia was the guest speaker. He was the administrative pastor of Indang Evangelical Church from 1985 to 1990. He came with Ate Beng and their three sons. Perhaps it has been more than 15 years since they last visited the church.

Church Outing
In the past two years the church decided to forego its annual church outing to give way to the building improvement projects.

VCS 2010
This year's theme was "Ocean Odyssey: Diving Into the Depths of God's Love".
Around 80 children participated in the week long activity on April 12-18. They were grouped into four classes, namely: Starfish, Sea Horse, Sea Turtles, and Seashells.
Thanks to the teachers and staff headed by Een Macaisip for volunteering their time, talents, and treasures in making the activity fruitful and meaningful to the children. May the lessons learned by the kids grow in their hearts and lead them closely to the love of God.

Church Building Improvement
In October 2009, the congregation approved the expansion project of the church. The worship area was extended to the property line in the right side to maximize the use of the remaining space. The project was completed weeks before the 60th anniversary celebration of the church on December 6, 2009.
To our generous and supportive donors, thank you so much! God bless you a thousand fold.

Pitong Huling Wika
Muling ginunita ng UCCP-Indang ang pitong huling wika ni Hesus sa krus ng kalbaryo:
Ama, patawarin mo sila, sapagkat hindi nila nalalaman ang kanilang ginagawa. - Lucas 23:34
Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa iyo, ngayon di'y kakasamahin kita sa paraiso. - Lucas 23:43
Babae, narito ang iyong anak... narito ang iyong ina. - Juan 19:26-27
Dios ko! Dios ko! Bakit Mo ako pinabayaan? - Marcos 15:34
Nauuhaw ako. - Juan 19:28
Naganap na! - Juan 19:30
Ama, sa mga kamay Mo ay itinatagubilin ko ang aking kaluluwa. - Lucas 23:46

Power of Your Love
"Lord I come to You
Let my heart be changed, renewed
Flowing from the grace
That I have found in You
And Lord I have come to know
The weaknesses I see in me
Will be stripped away
By the power of Your love..."
The Christian Youth Fellowship (CYF) showcased their God-given talents during the Power of Your Love Concert on February 28, 2010 at the UCCP-Indang. The group sang songs of praises and thanksgiving, played instruments, danced to depict life that was changed by the loving grace of God, and shared the message of God through music. Through the challenge posed by Lory Burbano in her message, some members of the audience made a decision to surrender their lives and accept the Lord as their personal Savior and Lord.
Lorena Macaisip served as director and pianist of the concert. Faith Nueva, Mae Burbano and Thea Ponciano choreographed and performed the tambourine dances with the female members of the CYF. Praise be to God!
