The first family night since camp meeting was held on Friday evening, October 23. The evening started with dinner served to the congregation. The meal included chili with shredded cheese, sour cream, and Fritos for toppings, along with cornbread, whipped butter, and honey. Dessert was chocolate sheet cake with whipped cream. A number of young piano players provided a musical background during the meal.

After dinner and some time for fellowship, the congregation assembled in the sanctuary. Gary Riler led the opening song, “Take Time to Be Holy,” and Rosie Lambert led in prayer.

The Bible study focused on the defining and practical application of holiness. Before the study began, Sola Adesope reminded everyone that having fun together is an important part of fellowship. He then introduced Marcus Luka and Josh Friesen, who led an activity in which participants raced to find Bible verses. In the first round, six volunteers under age eighteen took part and Simone Oni was the winner! For the over-eighteen group, Emily Luka, who was visiting from Southern California, came in first.

As the Bible study proceeded, the attendees divided into three groups, and each group was assigned two questions about holiness. After twenty-five minutes of discussion in separate areas, everyone reassembled in the sanctuary to share what they had learned. Sarah Asaya presented for the first group, explaining carnality and the difference between sin and temptation. Their group compared the sinful nature to the root of a dandelion, explaining that the root determines what grows. Only God can change the sinful nature, replacing it with His holy nature. Although believers still face temptation throughout life, God's grace enables them to live free from sin.

Chris Luka presented for the second group, which discussed whether a sanctified person can still make mistakes. The discussion emphasized the importance of a person's motives, willingness to accept correction, and continued growth in Christian maturity. Aaron Hoskin represented the last group, emphasizing that holiness involves more than following rules. It includes examining oneself, removing anything that hinders the Christian walk, and continuing to seek God's will. Trials and opportunities to consecrate help believers to grow spiritually.

Brother Sola closed the evening, sharing examples of Christian maturity, including being slow to take offense, overlooking others’ faults, accepting correction, and developing spiritual discernment. He encouraged everyone to build on what the Lord has done in their lives and not throw away their confidence. Holiness starts with salvation, requires the definite experience of entire sanctification, and is part of each person’s lifelong growth.
