The NCF Chennai marked a significant milestone on November 10, 2024, as it celebrated its 39th Foundation Day alongside Cultural Sunday at CSI St Matthias Church, Chennai. According to a report received here, the event drew a diverse congregation, coming together to honor the legacy of past leaders and members while looking forward to a promising future.
Avinu Veronica Richa, an assistant professor at Rajiv Gandhi National Institute of Youth Development in Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu, addressed the packed audience and emphasized the importance of culture in shaping identity and fostering unity. “Culture should be an agent of unity and preserve it for our own identity,” she said, urging attendees to embrace their cultural heritage while inspiring connection within the community.
Pastor Wapangtoshi, in a heartfelt tribute to the past leaders and members, including well-wishers of NCF Chennai, encouraged those present to build upon the foundation laid by their predecessors. “Together, we can build on the foundation that has been established, strengthening our bonds, expanding our outreach, and deepening our faith. We have the power to transform lives and spread hope—let’s not take that responsibility lightly,” he proclaimed. Pastor Wapangtoshi also led the congregation in a prayer dedicated to NCF Chennai’s Foundation Day.
The program, chaired by Sousaleo Alex Chao, had a special song performed by the mothers and Imsuchila Pongen.
