Beautiful evening

The Visit of the Shepherds

Luke 2:15-20

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.

But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. (KJV)

The Christmas Parade and celebration last night at Miri City Fan was awesome. Thousands of worshippers from different denominations arrived at the venue as early as 5:00pm. Thank and praise God for the excellent weather!

We arrived at 4:00pm to do the finishing touches.

Our church members arrived early too!

Y.B. Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Dr. George Chan declared open the parade by drumming.
The Boys' Brigade from Methodist churches - our pride!
So cute!

A wise young man and a shepherd boy.

As chief usher, Roseline had her hands full!

The walk around the town.

The working committee group photo. All but one of the volunteers were from my cell group. It was a great priviledge to be able to serve our Lord.
After completing our job we went for supper. xD.
We want to thank and praise God for giving us the opportunity to celebrate Christmas and remembering the birth of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ! It was a beautiful evening we will treasure in our hearts forever.
