26 for dinner
Last night the Monday night cell group, that Pinuccia belongs to, had its end of calendar year dinner. It is one of the big groups, and with family members and a few extras, it meant that there were 26 people there. Since we have one of the few homes in the church at Trento that can host such a number (and we thank God for the provision of such an apartment, that allows us to serve others in this way), it was held at our place. So there was quite a bit of work in the afternoon moving the furniture around. And there is still a bit today to get it back to how it was.
This was one of a number of end of year events coming up this week. On Tuesday Stefania has a candlelight procession through the town (torch light actually), on Thursday Pinuccia has an event at her school, on Saturday there is the band’s Christmas concert, and at church the Sunday school will be doing some things. There is also a bookstall at Rovereto on Saturday afternoon. Plus of course the usually activities, as well as doing some packing, because next Monday we will be leaving to spend a few weeks in Sicily.
