Another busy and interesting day for both of us. We began the day early and instead of seeing to house cleaning and laundry, as we normally do, we left home at 8.00 a.m. with Major Pascoe and a few others for Peacehaven Nursing Home to join them in their celebrations. We arrived nice and early and at 9.00 a,m. were assigned to carol at two Resident Living Areas - Grace Corner and Robin.
Each visiting group took on two areas. Some churches of other denominations sent their carol singers to participate in the exercise. This meant each group was able to give more quality time to the residents.
AT 10.00 a.m, a Christmas concert was held at the Changi Corps auditorium. Central Corps Band was the first group to perform and they played a number pieces of Christmas music much to the delight of the congregation. They did well and we feel proud of them. Two of our grandchildren played in the Central Corps band.
Balestier Corps which sent quite a large delegation participated in singing Hokkien gospel songs.
Groups from other denominations also gave items.
The special guest was Mr.Raymond Lim, Member of Parliament and representative of East Coast GRC of which Peacehaven and Bedok form part his constituency.
After the concert we adjourned to the Nursing Home dining areas for the Christmas dinner.
Peacehaven Nursing Home has a special place in our hearts as our youngest daughter, God's special child is a resident in this Home. We visit Peacehaven every Tuesday to minister to the residents, staff and nurses.
