Royal Rangers in Germany

Today, our church in Germany held its annual Royal Ranger worship service. It is an opportunity for the Rangers to lead the service and invite their parents and other family members to come to church. After the service, we held our church's Christmas dinner -- albeit in German Ranger fashion with Saitenwürstchen, Spätzle and Lentils.

As was the case last year, our church had to rent the local community auditorium and we estimate that 240 people came to the service -- which is no small feat for our young congregation. And as our goal, many people from the community came to the service who normally would never enter a church. And then many stayed on for the dinner afterwards.

Tomorrow we will hold our Christmas Eve services also in the community hall -- since everything is already set up. So...I'll have a report later this week.
