Season of Hope and Giving

Keeping all the festivities of Christmas aside, to spend a few hours to celebrate what Christmas is really all about ....




As young kids, we've enacted the Nativity scene many a times... and as we grow older we forget the true meaning of Christmas.Not only religous aspects of it, but also what it really means... Christmas is really a season of love, of giving and of hope...

Every year our church organizes a trip to Renqiu to vist a home for the orphans and the elderly.

Those few hours we spend there is not a big contribution, but nevertheless, it is in some way meaningful as it is really heart warming to watch the faces of those little kids light up with joy and those lovely elders who have the most precious smile ever ...
