O la le fai Salamo “O lau Afioga o le sulu lea i o’u vae, ma le malamalama i o’u ala”. (Salamo 115:105).

O la le aposetolo o Paulo, “O Tusi Paia uma lava e mai le Agaga o le Atua ia, e aoga foi ia, e a’oa’o ai, e aoai ai, e fa’atonu ai, e fa’apoto ai foi i le amiotonu, ina ia atoatoa ona lelei ai o le tagata o le Atua, ia saunia lava ia i galuega lelei uma lava.” (II Timoteo 3:16, 17).

“Ia nofo le afioga a Keriso i totonu ia te outou ia tele lava, ao outou a’oa’o ma apoapoai le tasi i le tasi i le poto uma lava, a o outou pepese foi i Salamo ma pese, ma siva fa’aleagaga, ma le fa’afetai i le Atua i outou loto.” (Kolose 3:16).

Ua amata i lenei tausaga ona fa’ailoa atu i le tatou tusi ia lanu (colours) e fa’aaoga i lea vaega o le tausaga, ma mea o tutupu ai i le Kalena fa’a-Kerisiano. E fesoasoani tele mo le au teufale, ma laei, ma fusiua e fa’aaoga i aso Sa i taimi o tapuaiga.

Fa’amanuia le Atua i le galuega tele sa nafa ma le Komiti.

Ia iai le manuia ma le filemu o le Atua e ta’ita’iina ai faitauga Tusi Paia uma o lenei tausaga 2020.
