Christmas Concert

All that hard work and prayer paid off, and our church's Christmas concert last night was a great success. Around 200 people turned up and everyone seemed to enjoy the programme - a mix of songs, dance, music and puppets. The children did a great job with their Christmas songs, and the girls' group presented the two Christmas worship dances they've been preparing over the past few weeks. Perhaps the most enthusiastic part of the service was when the children (and the puppets) were all singing the Christmas classic, Feliz Navidad. If you don't know it, you can listen to it here and sing along. The words are very simple: "Feliz Navidad, feliz navidad, feliz navidad y prospero año de felicidad. I want to wish you a merry Christmas (x3) from the bottom of my heart."

Quite a number of the guests stayed after the concert for drinks and snacks, and we're hoping that some of them will come back again next Sunday evening for our Christmas carol service. In the meantime, though, I'll be heading to Scotland, where I'll be spending Christmas and New Year with my family. I wish you and your family Feliz Navidad y Prospero Año de Felicidad. (Merry Christmas and a New Year with much happiness.)
