We planned a dinner to celebrate the end of the year. For the past two years, a sister church of ours has planned the dinner, prepared the food, and served our church. They have done so much for us, helping us to get started. But this year, we decided to plan everything and do all of the work ourselves. Almost every person in this picture cooked, served, decorated, and/or cleaned up afterwards. We served over 130 people, many of which were visitors. This was our big evangelistic push, and our people were eager to help make this happen. It was very encouraging for us. We watched as plans had to be changed and people had to be flexible when a bigger crowd came than we expected. Everyone maintained a sweet spirit and servant's heart. We were amazed to see how well everyone worked together.
