Christmas 2007

These are some pics from the Christmas of 2007. Most of them is me and some other people jumping in front of Christmas trees.
Naomi, Naemi(German Short-term worker) and me
This pic was taken right after the International chapel Christmas service
This was the group of people who gathered at the International chapel Christmas Service
Me and Naomi jumping in front of our sad looking Christmas tree(it started to dry up) in our living room. It actually isn't a tree. It's 2 branches set next to each other to make it look like a tree

Me and Naomi jumping again in front of our impressive looking Christmas tree in the Sanctuary

This year's Christmas was quieter compared to previous years. Usually we have a team from New Zealand or Australia come during the Christmas season to help the church with special meetings, but this year we didn't have any team. Instead my parents and our short-term worker went around several preschools to read the Christmas story and talk about Christmas to the kids. They also gave each kid a cookie and a piece of cake. Other than that we still had special Christmas meetings at most of the places we had the Rocky and Marla Concerts. We had no team, so we had to think of things to do as a family, but I think most of the meetings went well and people enjoyed it, so that was good. For the International chapel we had the Christmas service a little earlier, because a lot of people were flying out of the country for Christmas. On the Christmas Eve we had the Japanese Christmas Eve Service. Each Sunday School class either sang a song or did a Christmas play of some sort. It worked out very well. We sang Christmas songs. Heard a message with candle light. At the end church members brought out cookies and cakes, so we had fellowship with the people that came after the service. Over a hundred people came to the Christmas Eve service so that was great. Later on in the night we opened presents as a family and on Christmas day we got together with the Elliots and shared presents. It was great to remember again this year that Jesus was born on Earth for us to die on the cross to pay for the penalty of our sins and save us. It's great to know that we have hope in Jesus.
