Several Activities (F) - Services

The December 9th Services in English and in Swahili were very special ones. - At the English service were dedicated 50 Pew Bibles and 170 Lutheran Worship, received as a gift from Immanuel Lutheran Church in Riverside, California, US, through Mrs. Carolyn Elfman, member of that church.
People received the Hymnals when they entered the sanctuary; the Bible were on the Altar and on the first pew. During the Dedication Prayer, all raised the Hymnals.

After the Dedication Prayer, the Bible were passed to the people on the pews. -"Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path." (Psalm 119:105)


The Hymnals at the entrance of the church with the Bulletin and the Advent Order of service, and the Usher Rosalyn. -
"Sing to the LORD a new song." (Psalm 96:1)
THANK YOU, IMMANUEL LUTHERAN CHURCH, AND THANK YOU, CAROLYN, FOR THIS GIFT AND FOR ALL EFFORTS DONE TO SEND THESE BOOK TO OUR CONGREGATION.
