Yummy Lechon (Masarap!): Nothing left except the head, the tail and the bones. Photo by Cam Treolar
It's been another night of Christmas celebration as Pinoys at WECA hosted the annual event. This year's emcee was Rey Rosales. (Rey who was then the coordinator for his province of Leyte during the Typhoon Haiyan project of WECA community was so grateful of the donations that poured in during the relief goods campaign.) Table setup and décor were done in the morning led by Fred who is so talented in decorating. The décor was simple yet it was beautifully and harmoniously created with the combination of white table cloth and pearly bluish Christmas gift box centre piece and a red cloth lining across was added for contrast. The dinner was great with different Filipino foods and some other countries' menu. Foods include lechon, caldereta, fish fillet, laing, pancit, spaghetti, lumpia, pad Thai, pinakbet, sweet and sour, and sisig. During dinner time, sisters Loreen and Jenaleen played Filipino music, the Tagalog Ang Pipit and Ilocano song Dungdungwen Kanto with their bandurrias. Christmas greetings in different regions of the Philippines and around the world were spoken such as Waray, Kapampangan, Ilocano, Pangasinan, Cebuano, Russian, Spanish, German, and Czech. Pastor Denise Kroeker shared a message about Christmas and the longing of each heart to be home on Christmas. She talked about the coming of Jesus as it was written in Isaiah 7: 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. She asked anyone who would like to come to the Saviour and to have a personal relationship with Jesus through an invitation and prayer. Several door prizes were given to winners on trivia questions. Kiel, Joshua and Rhea sang their pieces with the delight of the listening audience. Final songs were carols which was arranged by Mark and accompanied by guitarists Julius and Kiel. To all, thank you so much for contributing your time, talent and treasure to make this occasion a success. Maligayang Pasko sa inyong lahat. |
