Small Group Christmas Celebration

Friday evening, our small group got together to celebrate Christmas at the Derstein home. After eating a lot of food and desserts, the children opened presents.
When the kids were in bed, we read the Christmas story from Matthew and Luke in the New Testament. Also, John Schreier prepared passages from the Old Testament which prophesied the virgin birth. It is amazing that Jesus’ birth is prophesied as far back as Genesis 3:15.

After reading the Christmas story, we wanted to get a small group photo. For what should have been an easy task, it turned out to be a lot harder with the camera battery dying and all of the shenanigans.

After several takes, we finally got an acceptable small group photo.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
