Christmas Devotional
The Area Presidency gathered all of the Church employees and missionaries together for a Christmas Devotional about reaching out to others with love during this special Christmas season. Our regional choir sang and then we feasted together with a catered dinner of pork, schnitzel and gravy, cheesy potatoes, and broccoli and cauliflower in a cream sauce. We enjoyed chocolate mousse and cookies for dessert.
Relief Society Party
We also enjoyed a fun Christmas Party with our Relief Society of the International Ward. We all brought good food, heard a wonderful Christmas story, and then made Christmas cards for women who have not been attending lately.
International Ward Christmas Party
We really got into the spirit of the season at our ward Christmas Party, and guess who played Father Christmas? Bob! He wore a red robe, like a bathrobe, with fur trim, a long white beard, and fluffy white hair. With the cap of his robe pulled up on his head and his cute spectacles, he looked just the part. The children were so excited, because Father Christmas had a gift for each child. Bob did a great job with his 'Ho-ho-ho-ing" and wishing each child a Merry Christmas!
We enjoyed singing the Twelve Days of Christmas, which Lonnie put together and introduced. Each table tried to out-do the others by singing their assigned verses loudly and with great enthusiasm.
We enjoyed a fun pot luck meal. The party was being put together as guests arrived. Some people were putting up lights and decorations. Others were getting the food on the table. We all just visited and helped as needed, and the party eventually came together.
