The Children's Christmas Program at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church was held on Sunday, December 12th. Doug and Tracy, both Sunday School teachers, are pictured next to the cast in the upper left. Gabi, as Mary, has the headscarf and pastel blue dress. Rania was an angel and is in the front row, second to the right of the white sign. Until the program on Sunday, I'd never realized that Joseph would have had such a big grin as he meditated on the birth of Jesus! 
The angel, after announcing the glad tidings of great joy, appreciated some comfort from her father. Speaking of her father, Doug was also selected to give the Christmas meditation in lieu of the regular Sunday sermon. He did a terrific job -- much more interesting and impressive than his father would have done! He even included a famous quote from theologian Karl Barth to the effect that the most powerful theological truth that he'd ever dealt with was "Jesus loves me; this I know, for the Bible tells me so."Just so you know that Christmas (at least the merchandising aspect of it) is celebrated in Kuala Lumpur, the Christmas decorations in the rotunda at KLCC are pictured below. - rw

ah Joseph does look rather happy.. although Mary just appears tired, as i'm sure she probably was. i'm sure a very acurate protrayal of the birth.
