| Our Christmas Outreach was last night and it was a great success.Our staff and student leaders were working together to set up the room: it was awesome! Just imagine: Christmas music playing, everybody moving chairs, and tables, decorating, and while working: just laughing and talking with one another: no stress, but it had a feeling of a big family preparing for guests for a family celebration! The true Spirit of the season filled the room, and our hearts.And when time came, students filled up the room. Close to 200 of them. We never know how many would come, as exams are beginning these weeks. But, this night, a lot of them decided to put everything aside, and come and celebrate.
A professional Hungarian musician performed and did great: he played from Bach to modern to post modern, and in between the plays, he cracked up jokes, shared personal stories, and explained what Christmas is about. And at the end, when he and the pianist played the song: “As the deer pants for the water…”, it was compete silence in the room. Just another one of those holy moments.
All that to say: it was a great time finishing a strong semester, going into the Christmas break with a great last momentum event.
Next week is our annual prayer week with our staff. Hope your Christmas Season brings you joy and peace. |
