Ladies Christmas Fellowship 2008

Sis. Linda shared the Christmas story from Luke 2. Comparisons were made between the births of many of our recent babies at FBC to the conditions of Jesus’ birth.
      
   God could have had Mary already in Bethlehem and not have to travel 60 miles to the birth place, and
God could have prepared a comfortable room because, after all, He is God!
 
 He allowed all these circumstances to fall into place and testify of the humble nature and mission of the Messiah.
He is in control and orchestrating in our lives even when our circumstances seem not to make sense.

Emmy portrayed Mary.

As usual we had delicious food, fun fellowship, and the White Elephant ornament exchange.

Some  ladies ended up going home with their first pick or their “stolen” pick …while others got their ornament rudely taken from them not only once, not only twice, but 3 times!!! 

Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Can you spot the real houses below?

 

Master Club Celebrates Thanksgiving

A few Indians and Pilgrims were seen at FBC during Thanksgiving week. Master Club was having a feast and some contests for the night. Some kids received prizes for winning a coloring contest and for dressing up as an indian or pilgrim. It was also outgoing MC Commander Bro. Besar Santos’ last night with us.

Elias thought that was one of the best Thanksgiving meals he’s had!

Fellowshipping with one another.
