Hi everyone. This will be the last blog until 2010. Thanks for taking time to read our updates. Nearly two-thousand hits on the blog were recorded this year. It is good to know the news is getting out to so many. Our pledge to you is to be concise and yet infomative.
The last of our major events in 2009 took place last Friday the 18th. We had our first ever BIG church Christmas party. By faith we planned on a crowd of 175. The menu included a traditional dinner of roasted pork, rice, pigeon peas with potato salad finished off with a dessert of coconut pudding. After supper the plan was to move everyone inside for the program which included a puppet show for the children and a concert provided by two musical groups playing traditional puertorican Christmas music. The building was decorated and special scenes of Puerto Rico from the past were erected by some of our church members. All of the promotion was done and then we waited...The thought crossed our mind, "Did we prepare way too much food...175 plates? Would the music be good? Would the church members do their part and invite their friends? Would our ladies do their part serving the food? Would everyone pitch in and clean up?"
We are happy to announce the answer to those questions was YES! There was good food, good music, good helpers and a good time had by all.
And, today I was informed we reached our 175; a near, if not record attendance for our church.
Thanks for sticking with us this year as well as all the others.
Blessings.
Johnathan and Mary Reece
