CHRISTMAS DINNER 2007

On Saturday, 1st Dec we held our Christmas dinner Celebration at Alma Church Hall. The evening started officially at 7.00pm with warm greetings by our very own Santa Claus!! Mulled wine and fruit punch was served as welcome drinks. Everyone was busy chatting while some took the opportunity to complete the Christmas Quiz that was placed on each table.

Hannah welcomed everyone and explained the evening, the menu, as well as what all the trimmings are – e.g. Christmas crackers, cranberry sauce, etc. Thereafter, Christmas dinner was served, made up of roast turkey or a vegetarian version.

After dinner, we were entertained by the Christian Union and BISC choir team with angelic voices filling the air to ears’ amazement!

Elvyn announced the Christmas quiz results and although we had several winners, he narrowed it down to one winner (in Elvyn’s good hands!!) Our choir then sang a few more carols before Christmas pudding and fruit salad was served.

After a lovely meal, Neil Grant, our guest speaker proceeded with a talk on ‘Why and how we celebrate Christmas?’- explaining the different variations of Christmas term and the true meaning of Christmas – that it is about Christ and his birth.

Tea and coffee was then served, and followed by a few more carols and drawing the evening to a close + ending with “We wish you a Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year”!!

Photos to come soon.
