Sugar Hush event - contrary to what the title literally means, has caused all Nugen members of Jesus Christ To God Be The Glory Church International to experience an indescribable feeling of sugar rush!  From preparation to execution, the burning fire of excitement emanated from all teens and young adults from all walks of life.  Knowing that this event will be the kick-off for all Winterfire activities (Winterfire refers to the activities organized for both the Nugen and Yupper groups), we, the Nugen Team core group cannot deny the fact that we were extremely pressured to come up with the liveliest and juiciest event we could ever think of.  Mercifully for us, everyone actively participated and enjoyed the program candidly.

Initially, we all thought that having “Sugar Hush” as our event title would entail cheesy topics concerning love, courtship, and the likes.  However, God must have had a different plan in mind as He sent our guest speaker for that night, Pastor Alvin Apostol.  Instead of tackling the expected love theme, we were all surprised as Pastor Alvin overwhelmed us with Eagle facts (yes, Eagle, as in the Philippine National Bird) and bits and pieces of military facts.  The connection might be considered far-fetched at first but as the message progressed, the link between the theme and the message suddenly dawned on us.

The message was actually pretty simple and easy to understand.  The essence is that we, the chosen young people of God, should learn how to redirect our energy towards the things that will help us be the person that God wants us to be.  There really is no point in wasting our time and efforts on stuff that are temporary and are bound to be destroyed.  This event encouraged everyone to take a pause and make a conscious effort to evaluate his priorities, stop the sugar rush, and start to sugar hush!
