Christmas, Advent & Epiphany – a time to celebrate

Finally I have gotten around to uploading my Advent and Christmas photos. It was a real season of celebration for all of us at the Mustard Seed House. We held an open house for friends near and far, with lots of Christmas goodies, and carol singing.

Next e held an Advent celebration in which we focused on the coming of God’s multicultural kingdom. We wore a wonderful array of international costumes, ate food from all over the world and made decorations for the Jesse tree. Jenny Porter accompanied our carol singing on her viola.

Christmas Day was a wonderful community feast with roast lamb & vegetables, and a beautiful Italian cream cake to celebrate Gabriel’s first birthday. Anneke’s parents were here from Hawaii and entertained us with their rich gift of music. It has been a memorable Christmas season – the first time we have celebrated as a community and a real taste of the kingdom.

And a happy new year from all of us at the Mustard Seed House
