This year's Pasko Sa WECA was attended by around 170 including kids. This time a separate kids' program led by Tess Yanez and Loren Eneria was held at the Kids' Worship Hall. Pastor Denise Kroeker shared a message about the announcement on the coming of the Messiah and the peace that we received from the Lord Jesus. Song performances led by Mark Yanez with Libby and Aba Alba were rendered by choir of all ages, followed by H2O youth band, and then the H2O kids group. WECA Band also performed a 3-number songs led by Nathan with Totz, Abe, Samara, Zach and Chris. Julius Atinaja prepared Christmas in the Philippines from "mano" (kissing of hands of the elderly and godparents), kids caroling during Christmas time and noche Buena on Christmas Day. Johnny and Ramon explained those Filipino traditions as the slide presentation went on. Attendees savoured mostly Filipino foods including lechon, pinakbet, embotido, papaitan and sisig to name a few. Food committee was chaied by Nora Rafio and with many helps from other volunteers. Door prizes were given to winners through a draw. This year's master of ceremonies were Aileen Mendoza and Jenny Rodriguez. Thanks to Pastor Jane Solbreken for helping on table decoration. Special thanks to Fred Mastelero, the official photographer of the banquet. Once again, on behalf of this year's organizing committee, thank you for attending, volunteering and sharing with the Pinoys at WECA this year's Christmas celebration.
