Our neighborhood ministry has been something that I have really enjoyed being a part of and watching evolve. Thanksgiving was a great time. Some families and kids from the neighborhood came by to spend some of their day with us and eat a really good meal. The bible study on Wednesday nights has continued to go well and I have really enjoyed getting to know the teenagers in our area. Last [month], we had a Posada at our house (A Christmas festival originating in Latin America that dramatizes the search of Joseph and Mary for lodging.) We walked around a couple of blocks holding candles singing Christmas carols. At two different houses, Mary and Joseph knocked on the door to ask if there was “room in the inn” (we designated each of the two houses ahead of time and the occupants read a little script basically telling Mary and Joseph “no.”) We ended the journey at our house, and this time when Mary and Joseph knocked on the door and asked for lodging, of course the response was “yes.” So everyone then proceeded to enter, where the kids and their families were welcomed to deserts, gingerbread house building, and a piñata. A great time was had by all. Merry Christmas!!!
