【國際事工部 / 林鈺婷 翻譯】上個月台南聖教會國際事工部第一次在十一月二十七日舉辦了感恩節聚餐，受到熱烈迴響，本月聖誕節適逢週日，國際事工部再度舉辦首次的聖誕午宴，邀請更多國際友人一起歡度聖誕佳節。
Thanks to many English small group members, Iman Liu and Elaine Olding to name a few, the venue was decorated with delicate decorations on the tables and funny props in the corner for photo shoot. Everyone was surrounded by delicious cuisine, snacks, and most important of all, the heartwarming atmosphere of Christian fellowship.
首先得感謝許多英文小組的成員，像是Iman Liu 和Elaine Olding，他們熱心的擺上，將會場佈置得溫馨感人;不僅有精緻的桌飾及牆飾，更在牆角佈置了一個拍照間，放置許多幽默小道具供人拍照。精緻可口的菜色及令人垂涎欲滴的點心充斥著會場的每個角落，更重要的是，每位參與的弟兄姊妹都感受到那股濃郁溫馨的團契之愛。
The party began with a sequence of Christmas songs for each table of guests to guess, and then moved on to the climax of the Christmas party- the gift-exchange stealing game. By the end of the game, each person had “chosen” or “repossessed” a gift that suits his or her needs. After the game, everyone got to enjoy the delicious Christmas lunch and shared laughter, love and prayers with each other.
餐會首先由一連串的聖誕組曲大考驗揭開序幕，接著來到本次餐會最高潮—交換禮物時間。不論每個人在遊戲最後是「選擇」了還是「重新取得」了適合他的禮物，大家到後來都非常愉悅地享受了一頓豐盛美味的聖誕大餐，並且與弟兄姊妹分享了許多歡樂與愛。
