Christmas Parade 22Dec 2007..a night to remember

on the 22nd Dec morning itself.....the crew.... those handy-men..we need the frame work...
Ya.... praise the Lord we managed to get ready for the procession by 5pm. The service was at 6pm. Hahahah we rushed home for a quick shower and off we go again. But the time spent building and decorating was worth it. I could see a deep sense of fellowship and unity within this group. The youth and the Primary 6 were there to give a helping hand. Yeah... the team is a strong one...

This was supposed to be the master-piece of the whole event--- CANDY CANE.. but it was way TOO HUGE to mount onto the lorry....

The puppet stage was decorated by them... hahaha.. great girls!!!

Finishing touches...

The floats from the other Methodist churches in Miri..

Yeah yeah... i need to put more pictures but because i was on the lorry itself, i couldn't get enough shots... oh well...that's all for now..

Wow!!!!What an experience...=)

will upload more by tonight... promise

The reason for Christmas... US!!

Hello angels...

Tomorrow night is a big event for our church, Grace Methodist Church. As most of you know, we are putting up a puppet show, singing Christmas carols and distributing candy canes and tracts while we parade round the Miri City with other churches.

There will definitely be a lot of people coming to witness the parade. I sincerely urge all of you who are taking part in the caroling, acting, "angel-ing" to be good witnesses for our Lord, for Christmas is after all a celebration of His Birth.!!!

Well, that's for saturday. On 25th Dec, Christmas day itself, the youth and the 'angels' will be presenting 3 skits/mini dramas to testify for the Lord. Pray that through the simple skits, people will be drawn closer to the Lord.

Remember, we are the reason for Christmas....



As little children we would dream of Christmas morn
Of all the gifts and toys we knew we’d find
But we never realized a baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives

*We were the reason that He gave His life
We were the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

As the years went by we learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves and what that means
On a dark and cloudy day a man hung crying in the rain
All because of love
All because of love

*Chorus

I finally found the reason for living
It’s in giving every part of my heart to Him (every part to Him)
And all that I do every word that I say (you know I’ll be saying)
I’ll be giving my all just for Him, for Him (every thing for Him)

We are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give (all that he could give all)
To show us the reason to live
