親愛的朋友們,
感謝您最近的聖誕祝福,包括您在這個我最喜歡的季節的慷慨禮物。我為全世界的台灣和台灣人民祈禱,並在每個星期天早上利用Skype,與Tienmou,David,Chia-Chi和Nicholas的台灣家庭保持聯絡。然後上午10點到諾克斯長老會教堂進行合唱練習。
我們的詩班獻唱“希望!"由Joel Raney於12月17日創作和安排的福音聖誕節慶祝活動。然後我們的三個女兒和他們的家人參加了Rob和Maria Milne主持的聖誕晚宴。圖片#1 Heather Cooper,我自己,Deb Schlichter和Maria Milne。 (Deb和我參加詩班穿黑色,紅色披肩)
我們的兒子保羅和約翰住在不列顛哥倫比亞省,我可以和他們定期Skype。我們以為保羅會來這裡過聖誕節,但沒有實現。
12月24日上午禮拜後,Deb拍了照片#2和#3,我到傑克的墳墓放了一個聖誕花環。諾克斯長老會教堂稍後在5:00,7:00,9:00和11:00也也禮拜。我們的孫子Justin Milne在5點和Praise樂隊一起演奏鼓,Deb和我在9點與詩班一起獻唱。
聖聖誕節早上,我的孫子,亞歷克斯,來自台灣,現在滑鐵盧大學就讀,我們在 Milne's 早餐,然後打開禮物。圖片#4有五個孫子穿著不同動物的連體衣。亞歷克斯和我和Schlichter家人一起去吃聖誕大餐。
加拿大正在經歷一個星期左右的深度凍結。當我寫下這張紙條時,它並未阻止亞歷克斯今晚嘗試新購買的二手冰鞋。 /h6>
新年快樂,願上帝保佑並保持你的一切關懷。

RRev. Sek Iong Lim,
 
Dear Faithful Friends,
Thank you for your recent Christmas greetings including your generous gift at this my favourite season. I do pray for Taiwan and Taiwanese people worldwide and keep abreast of news with a weekly Skype with our Taiwan family in Tienmou, David, Chia-Chi and Nicholas early Sunday morning. Then to Knox Presbyterian Church for choir practice before the service at 10:00 am.
Our choir presented “Hope! A Gospel Christmas Celebration” composed and arranged by Joel Raney on December 17th. Then our three daughters and their families had Christmas dinner hosted by Rob and Maria Milne. Picture #1 Heather Cooper, myself, Deb Schlichter, and Maria Milne. (Deb and I wearing black for choir with red stoles at choir for Christmas.
Our sons Paul and John live in British Columbia and I can Skype regularly with them. We thought Paul would be coming here for Christmas, but that didn’t work out.
December 24th after the morning service Deb took pictures #2 & #3 of me laying a Christmas wreath at Jack’s grave. It’s the one from his door at Parkwood Mennonite Home where he resided for many years. Knox Presbyterian Church had four services later at 5:00, 7:00, 9:00 and 11:00. Our grandson, Justin Milne, plays the drums with the Praise Band at 5:00 and Deb and I sang with the choir at 9:00
Christmas morning my grandson, Alex, here from Taiwan to study at the University of Waterloo and I had a breakfast feast at the Milne’s before opening gifts. Pictures #4 with five grandchildren wearing their onesies of different animals. Then Alex and I went to have Christmas dinner with the Schlichter family. Canada is experiencing a deep freeze for a week or so. It hasn’t stopped Alex from trying out newly purchased second-hand skates tonight as I write this note.
Happy New Year and may God Bless and keep you all in His care.
Sincerely,
Flora M. Geddes (Betty)
