Christmas time was also very busy when it came to the youth group.  Before Christmas some of the youth and I attended a Christmas concert sponsored by a Christian Radio Station in Oradea.  We also continued our regular gatherings up until about a week before Christmas with a few extra practices added in.  We were able to learn several new songs this year and since we had increased our repertoire we also visited 2 other churches and shared in song and poems. I have to say it was a bit hectic…..we had been out caroling Christmas Eve after church, we sang in church the afternoon service Christmas day, we went out caroling that evening, then the day after Christmas we visited one of the churches in the area.  Then Sunday at 2 p.m. (after having been in Sunday School and Church in the A.M.) we visited the second church and got back in time to be part of the evening service here at our church. I have to say that the youth did a great job and God helped in a wonderful way, even in spite of our tiredness…..

The church was packed!

Being invited into a house and offered a snack happens often. (We usually took that time to sit down rest our feet )

It’s such a blessing to be able to bring a little cheer to the shut-ins in the village
