Christmas dinner and concert at William Booth Corps

December 20th - a full day for us, but happy to be busy. After we got home from Kallang, we took a short rest, watered the plants in the garden, and did some housework. Soon we were downstairs welcoming visitors to the Christmas Dinner. Folk in the kitchen and social hall were busy getting the food ready. Yes, we had roast turkey, roast lamb, beef, chicken, an assortment of western, Chinese, Indian, perakan food.

Soon our Major was on the scene and after saying grace gave the usual announcements "Please let the elderly take the food first." We helped some of the elderly especially those from Bukit Panjang Centre to queue up. The social hall was full. There were many visitors.

Meal ended, we made our way to the main hall. Again we helped to welcome the people. The hall was packed and many moved to the balcony upstairs to watch the concert.

There was plenty of singing, then we had a musical drama, written by Zarrah. It was a good musical, the best ever performed on our stage. It had a message related to the season. Congratulations to the leaders and participants. You did us proud to belong to the Corps and The Salvation Army.

The musicians were excellent. There was a ensemble comprising the best players from our band.

Our Corps does have some very talented folk who very willingly gave of their precious time to serve the Lord.
