For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
There were a few preparations that have to be accomplished at church just a few days before Christmas(Carol practice, church deco., praise and worship practice etc.). Here are some pics:
Flowers were placed in front of the stage and altar and the angels on the wall blowing their trumpets, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ and giving glory to God.
Three days before Christmas, my fellowship joined our church's carolling group. We visited 10+ houses that night. There was also a carol during the previous night. As the houses are located at quite a distance from each other, the carol lasted throughout the whole night. It ended at approximately 1.15 a.m. I reached my hostel room at 2 a.m. It was quite tiring but my heart is filled with thanksgiving and joy. Praise God that the weather was fine and everyone came home safe and sound. In all, thank God sending His only Son to us, giving us a chance of salvation and eternal peace.
