First part
We had two question about which we discussed.

Why do we not celebrate christmas?

What is meaning in partaking in the holy communion?

Second part

Practising "Give me oil in my Lamp". Joni and YiYun intruduced the biblecerses to us which we will say before lighting our lighters. We practised the receiting of the verses and the beginning and ending.

After singing that song we also sang "whisper to my heart" WITHOUT" Tiana. And it seems that we will have to work on it if we really want to do it. And do we want to do it???! YES. hehe~~

But to be honest it does sound terrible in some parts
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hallelujah, dear all,

We put the steps of the presentation of "Give me oil in my lamp" in order. Please check it.

Progression of “Give Me Oil In My Lamp”

• (Everyone sits on his seat)
• Light is turned out.
• Start reciting the bible verses and lighting up the lighters/torches one by one .
• (Yiyun-Nathanael-Daniela-Doro-Manyi-Maggie-Weihsiang-Joni-Rebecca-Joni)
• While Joni is shouting “BURNIIIIIING, the others whisper “burningburningburningburningburningburningburningburning” .
• Then the piano gives a cord, and everyone starts walking to the front, singing “Give me oil in my lamp to keep me burning, keep me burning till the break of day.”
• Then everyone should be at the front already.
• And the lighters/torches are put into pocket.
• Then the piano gives an intro and we sing: 1. English version (+movements) 2. Chinese version (+movements)

For Daniela:
This is your part of verse. Please learn it by heart for next Sabbath.
Exodus 13:21And the LORD went before them by night in a pillar of fire to give them light.
夜間，神在火柱中光照他們。
(IV)-Daniela

For PeiYing:
Will you attend in the convocation? How many days will you participate? If you would like to present hymns together, can you come next Sabbath to learn the hymns?

For all:
Next Sabbath we will have a MINI TEST on your verses in the lunch break. So please learn your verses by then!!
