These past few weeks sure have been very busy but full of blessings! The end of November we had a baptismal service where Mike baptized one of our teens. She and her family have been very faithful for years so it was such a joy to see her finally make this decision.
We also had our last kid's activity of the year. Carlos, for the first time, taught the lesson and we played games with water balloons and ice.
The first Saturday in December we had our ladies meeting. Marta taught the lesson and we finished the meeting with Christmas crafts.
Our church choir sang a selection of songs from our cantata in a recital in a public venue. It was amazing that God gave us this opportunity to share the true Christmas message in the community.
At our last teen activity of the year we did one of the most favorite things the kids like to do - roast hot dogs over a fire. We even had marshmallows to roast!!
For the first time, we made gingerbread houses and manger scenes to display at the church Christmas party.
And finally, the choir presented the cantata "Come Ye to Bethlehem". We had 6 visitors even though it was so hot that it felt like we were melting.
Michael and Stephany were able to come for Christmas. That's the best Christmas present ever!!
Merry Christmas to all and a blessed Happy New Year!!
