Day +1633 : A Christmas Celebration

I am fine today.

First of all, I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!

Our church celebrated Christmas this evening. There were about 230 adults and children attended the event, of which about 100 of them were new friends.

Due to the sheer number of anticipated attendance, we abandoned our normal practice of preparing foods ourselves and relying on catering service instead this time. Apart from catered food, some members of the church also sponsored a roasted pig costing RM950 :-)

The programs after the dinner included singing, instrument ensemble, drama, choir, testimony and a Christmas message.

The event ended at 10:00pm.

Artists busy processing and printing photos for the new friends. The photo was taken the first thing they arrived at the church, and they were given one copy of the photo before the end of the event.
