LT‘s yuletide 2018

WE take part in celebrating the essence and light of Christmas just like the stars aligned, man-made or from the skies, which should guide us to meaningful joy and salvation. Just like its neighbouring towns La Trinidad, as the Benguet capital, should have its own Yuletide Calendar. Thankfully, a recent town ordinance mandated us to do so (although regrettably, without much funding for this year). But hey, it’s Christmas! And just like how we give what we have for the night carollers whether fifty or five hundred - what is important is that we give from the bottom of our hearts. Besides, we have the community as our greatest asset!

The members of the La Trinidad community are the prime movers and partners in the activities and events of the La Trinidad Yuletide Calendar 2018; the La Trinidad council of churches and the town’s Evangelical organizations led the religious affair yesterday (Ecumenical Service and Lights Parade) which were participated in by people from the evangelical groups, barangays, business sector, and the academe – the Cordillera Career Development College even organized a lantern parade for the community and joined the solemn parade of lights.

At the Municipal Park, the King’s College of the Philippines (KCP), Cordillera Career Development College (CCDC) and Concordia College also contributed in making the area a wonderland for the Trinidad children by building Christmas-themed booths. A Five-day free Christmas concert/ carolling shall be shared to the public by the evangelical groups, bars & restaurants, schools, and the different barangays/offices of the town on December 12, 14, 18, 19, 20, 2018, at the Municipal Park. On Dec. 13, a dance and lights competition was organized by the Participation committee of the Local Council for the Protection of Children entitled: “Talaw-Rejoicing in God’s Light”.
