New Hope Christmas play and Central Union service

New Hope Christmas play.

 It was about how it might be if Mary and Joseph  were modern teenagers in a big city and were visited by Gabriel with the message that Mary is pregnant with Jesus.
The young actors, singers, and dancers were wonderful.  It was a lively, exuberant musical with many Christmas carols interspersed.  Pastor Wayne Cordeiro appeared throughout with inspirational messages.
Craig Sensei, sporting a big mustache, was funny as Luigi, the hotdog seller.

Since I had a head cold we stopped over at Tanaka Saimin after the play and had hot papaya soup.

Steve.  Always makes our Chez Kenzo  experiences so enjoyable.

Central Union Christmas
Eve Service.

The Sanctuary is an inspiring and lovely place to be after the stress, crowds and noise as the year rushes to an end.  Wish R could've enjoyed this Service too as he usually does every year.
