Christmas Party on Sunday 27th December 2015


It was a great occasion and lots of hard work was done by the junior coordinator Rajie Muthukumar for the Christmas Party  on 27th December at Hammersmith. When I entered the church, I felt our children are really God’s gift to our own families and our Church family. Rajie Muthukumar introduced that evening and helped each one of us to hear the cry of the baby Jesus while we sang the carols together. After that, a little reflection encouraged the participants to reflect on different names prophesised by prophet Isaiah about the son of God. Children were asked to remember the verse 6 from the chapter 9 and they were encouraged to memorise. The children’s performance exhibited their music and singing talents which came out fantastically. Robin and Kalyani Appadurai conducted games and facilitated the participants to get involved in.  Games such as throw ball, passing the ball while music was played, and finally Bingo generated team spirit and encouragement of one another. We enjoyed eating together too. The coming of Santa Claus and his distributing gifts to all of us added to the fun. There were 12 children, 2 youngsters and 24 adults attending this celebration. Different families brought their families and friends to celebrate the Christmas Party with us.  Children had a good dance with Santa that showed they enjoyed his visit.  At the end the children reminded themselves about the names of the Son of God mentioned in the book of Isaiah with more excitement. Rev. Asir Anand offered the final prayer.
 It was a good celebration enjoyed by all of us, adults and little ones!.
