Christmas Sunday

God blessed us with a good Christmas Sunday. I had most of the day off. Since Zacharie was only four days old, and I had spent the second part of the week running between school, home and hospital, one of the men in the church preached for me. I enjoyed listening to a well-prepared, well-delivered sermon on the wise men from Matthew 2.

Zacharie Christian had just returned from the hospital the day before. So a highlight for us was being able to show him off to all of our church family.




Following the service we enjoyed a delicious Christmas dinner. After a salad entrée, we had pork roast with a peach and chestnut sauce.




We always enjoy eating together.



Following the meal, we had a Christmas sing and the children performed a couple of Christmas songs for us. We then had a farewell service and party for Fernando, a student who had been in the church for six years. He just received his Ph.D. last week and flew back to his home country of Panama a few days later. We will really miss him.

Sounds like a wonderful, full day! I'm sure meeting little Zacharie was a highlight for everyone!
