The 2011 Christmas Happiness in Gloria Senggarang Preaching Point

Today – Saturday, December 17, 2011, we at Gloria Senggarang Preaching Point celebrated 2011 Christmas with the fullness of joy. The celebration of the birth of our Jesus Christ was attended by more than 100 audiences from the students, housewives, brothers and sisters from Tanjung Pinang Filadelfia Methodist Church, some Medan Gloria Methodist Church members who were currently at Senggarang and our special guests from neighboring country.

This 1.5 hour program was prepared by our kids by their own. Two students: Silvia & Etalia led the program as the MCs (master of ceremony).

At 4pm sharp, the Christmas celebration was begun with welcome notes from Ms Rachel and opening prayer. Then, the children praised the God happily with the songs: Walking with Jesus and Jingle Bells.

Afterward, the students from Primary 1 & 2 level presented a song Sing Noel-Noel, then all the audiences were invited to sing this song together. The kids from Filadelfia church also presented a Bahasa Indonesia song Aku Anak Raja (which means I am the child of the King).

The Christmas candles were then lighted up by Ms. Rachel and the representatives from the kids, housewives and guests. The process of lighting up the candles was followed by singing the Silent Night.

The next items were dance presentations from our guest who presented a dance: We are the Reason and dance from the Primary 3-4 & Junior High School students.  

The Christmas message was explained from a drama played by the Junior High School students. This drama told a story of a family reunion in a Christmas Eve as Jesus had forgiven our sins and faults.

This celebration was also to commemorate the end of this academic semester. Two best students with outstanding result from every class received a special gift each as appreciation to their study effort.

At the end of the program, a game: move the rubber ban by using the straws were played with the children.

This Christmas event was ended with a closing prayer, group photo and thank you gift presentation to our guests.

“We thanked God for blessed us a wonderful Christmas this year. We also thanked all parties who had taken part to make this event a success one. Especially to all our guests who had visited and celebrated the Christmas with us, we also want to express our gratitude to them. May God bless you all,” said Ms Rachel.
