Still coming for Christmas at All Saints' Beirut

We still have two more Christmas services happening at All Saints' Church :
Midnight Communion 11:30pm - 24th Dec
Christmas Day Celebration 11:30am - 25 Dec
with informal communion
Sunday 28th 11:00am is our informal Morning Praise service
All are welcome!

Crib & Christingle Service

Once again we enjoyed our tradition of having the children help put the crib together and making Christingles.

Carols by Candlelight Service 2008

For the first time, this year All Saints' International Congregation hosted two Carols by Candlelight services, one at 5pm and one at 8pm. This allowed us to include around 300 people at our services as well as enjoying the mulled wine and mince pies in-between. Many thanks to all who helped make these services such a success.

Preparing for the Christmas Fair!

It was great to have so many willing helpers to prepare craft items to sell at the Annual Christmas Fair. And they got to have fun too!

All Saints' Cheers For The Beirut Marathon

One our youth group members with friends....
a few of the cheer squad.......
Sarah being wonderfully supportive........
As always, a group from All Saints' were roadside to cheer on the runners/walkers in the Beirut Marathon, and to be a visible presence as people passed by the church. Many of our congregation were also involved in walking the marathon this year, including a number who joined the Youth For Christ group, as shown above!
