Over four hundred members and guests celebrated the annual Christmas and anniversary dinner which was held at St. George Antiochian Banquet Hall on Sunday, December 11th. The joyful evening included presentations by our children, praise and worship led by our worship team, a reflection by Fr. Daniel from the year 2011, a witness by Dr. Mohamed Rahouma concerning his faith in the Lord Jesus, and a meditation by Fr. Pishoy entitled “Keeping Christ in Christmas” and a wrap up of the growth of the ministry in 2011. We are extremely thankful to the Lord for a year filled with blessings, spiritual growth, and an expansion to the mission. We thank all the servants who volunteered in preparing the hall, cooking the food, ushering, MCing, presenting, serving tables, welcoming, and cleaning. May the Lord bless our church for many more generations to come through the prayers and blessings of St. Mary, St. Maurice, St. Verena, and our beloved father H.H. Pope Shenouda III.
