Abranches Church celebrates 20 years with conference on the invitation to share the faith

On 24/10/2026, the Abranches Church, in the Associação Paranaense (APAR), affiliated with the União Sul Brasileira, celebrated its 20 years of history with a special conference under the theme “Come to church with me!”. The program highlighted the importance of Christian fellowship, hospitality, and the invitation for others to come to know Jesus.

The speaker was Pastor Miquéias Souza, Departmental Director of Education of the Associação Nordeste Sul Paulista (ANESP). The musical presentations featured: the Trio Ecos Divinos from São Paulo-SP of the Conjunto Vocal Ágape, the Camerata de Botiatuba, and the Grupo Masculino VP Curitiba. The moments of worship were part of the commemorative program and accompanied the reflections proposed by the meeting’s theme.

Worship and reflection marked the program

Among the musical performances, the hymn “Ajoelhai” stood out, performed by the Trio Ecos Divinos, which moved participants during its rendition. The moment was remembered for its message of reverence, prayer, and dependence on God conveyed through worship.

The program also included interviews with members of the Trio Ecos Divinos and with Pastor Miquéias Souza. The conversations addressed personal experiences, testimonies, and the importance of music and preaching in the mission of leading people to Christ.

These moments were related to the central purpose of the conference: encouraging members to share the faith and invite others to know Jesus and participate in Christian fellowship.

Fellowship among participants

In addition to the messages and musical performances, the program provided a fellowship lunch. The meal gathered participants in a time of togetherness, fostering conversations, reunions, and integration among those present.

The fellowship also formed part of the 20‑year celebration of the church, bringing people together around the journey built by the community over that period.

Twenty years of history and continuity of the mission

The 20‑year celebration represented an opportunity to recall the journey of the Church in Abranches and highlight the continuity of its mission. Over two decades, the community has built its history through the participation of its members and locally developed activities.

The conference also emphasized the personal invitation as a way to share the faith. The aim is to encourage each member to bring others closer to the Christian community and present the message of hope in Jesus.

The celebration thus marked not only the remembrance of the years of the church’s work in Abranches, but also the reaffirmation of its commitment to fellowship and the evangelistic mission.
