THE NEW YEAR NIGHT AT GETHSEMANE

About 60 people gathered together to meet the New Year in prayer in worship and celebrate in the joy of the Lord and unity of the church. The New Year party time had the name “A Gift to Santa Claus or the Box wiht a Red Button” – Santa and the Snow girl traveled through space and time!

Pastor spoke a word of summary and encouragement before the clock stroke midnight. Pastor led the church in entering into the New Year praying on knees before God. Having fun outside. Playing snow balls in the church yard a sales agent clothed like Santa sold a box with the red button the real Santa opens the box and gets to…to the Sherwood forest and meets Robin Hood and his companions.

The Chinese attendees of our church did a wonderful skit with Santa sisters from our church tried to do the same moves of the Chinese gymnastics tai chi. Best tai chi peformer with the master. The most skillful Robin Hood of the party. Then Santa appeared in the Wild West!!!

Peeling potatoes ” from the Wild West” to do one long peel without a break. Finally, Santa reached the beginning of the new era – the birth of Christ anta and the Snow girl discovered the origin of the custom of giving gifts on the New Year – the magi were the first to give gifts to the Son of God. Now Santa and the Snow girl wanted to come back and give presents for everybody.
