February 7, 2010—50 teenagers attended the fellowship at the Joy in Christ Church Worship Hall held by the JICC leaders who aim to encourage them to attend services and grow in their spiritual lives. The young people are composed of three age groups, namely the Junior and Senior Teens, and the Singles. The Junior Teens are composed of young people aged 12 to 15 years old, while the Senior Teens were aged 16 to 20 years old, and the Singles were aged 21 years old and above.

JICC's very first youth interfellowship started at around 1:00pm, right after the church's Sunday Worship Service. Lunch, prepared by the older women or WMU, was served before the event to give the attendees more energy for the program proper. t

The program started with a Praise and Worship, wherein modern Christian songs were played. The youth sang and danced to the upbeat music that was performed by the church band also composed of young people.

Games, played in groups, like Samson and Delilah, Brain Teasers and May Nag-Text! were held right after. The winners were given prizes that were sponsored by the church leaders. The elders also sponsored the raffle, with backpacks as the main prizes.

After the games, Ariel Cacho, the youth officer-in-charge, gave a short message for the young people about handling the troubles that one encounters today. He ended the program with another Praise and Worship.
