Sunday the
18th of February saw the first Family Worship service for the
year.
Pupils, staff and parents alike were invited and there were over 200 in
attendance on the day. A Praise band led
by Mr Bachman and other staff of Amano enhanced the worship and praise. The
children provided a lively accompaniment to ‘I’ve got the Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy’ and
this was reflected in their enthusiastic performance of the song. Mr J.J. Zhou spoke about his involvement in
the work amongst the Chinese community and showed a presentation about the
Chinese New Year drawing a contrast between this celebration and the lives of the children of Israel. An
offering was taken to support a new project amongst the community. A Sunday
School led by Mrs Kirk and a team of
helpers taught the children about sharing their joy with
others. Mr M Pflaum spoke on Paul’s joy whilst in jail encouraging us to be
joyful in all situations. Mr J. Furnish concluded the service with prayer, announcements
and an invitation to enjoy a lunch together.
The next Family Service will be
scheduled to take place on 25th March at 11.00.
