The dedication service started with a praise and worship session.
For the pride of the university and for the glory of God—CPU held a dedication service at the Rose Memorial Auditorium on October 13, 2017 for the Centralian Golden Lions who will be representing the university in the Iloilo Schools Sports Association (ISAA) and Private Schools Athletic Association games (PRISAA).
In his message, Rev. Cris Amorsolo V. Sian, University Church Senior Pastor, encouraged the athletes to use their talents as a testimony to God’s goodness. He highlighted Hebrews 12:1-2: “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Atty. Alejandro Somo, CPU Sports Coordinator encouraged CPU Golden Lions to offer their talents and skills to the Lord.
University Church Senior Pastor, Rev. Cris Amorsolo V. Sian tells athletes to focus on Jesus.
Rev. Sian shared that athletes need discipline which means throwing off anything that hinders them. He also cited the importance of focus—focusing on the goal of winning and, more importantly, focusing on Jesus, “Fix your eyes on Jesus who is the author and finisher of your faith, who gave you talents and abilities to be an athlete. Obey your coach, ultimately obey God. To your cloud of witnesses, may your life as an athlete be a testimony of your faith.”
The dedication service was facilitated by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes led by Pastor Jec Dan S. Borlado.
