Dear Friends
24 December

I wish you all a merry christmas and a happy new year!Even if you felt the light was so small, the light cuts through the darkness.
We found a light which shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

We had the 2011th Christmas Eve worship.Pastor Etoh who is the president of Japan Lutheran Theological Seminary preached a sermon in Sendai Church.

The volunteers of Lutheran Tonaribito, the relief center in Sendai church take the Christmas vacation.

Two members of them keep staying in Sendai church to help the event which is held on 31th December.They have the new year in Sendai.

God let us listen to the word of God throughout this year.
We give thanks to God.And we give thanks to all friends who kept praying for Japan.

Again let's give our mind to the small light on the first Christmas Eve.

We put oueselves to the small light to see each smiley faces shining by reflecting the true light.

Amen
