Christmas Events - 2nd Sandakan BB Coy

Although the company has had its closing ceremony, the activities are not "closed" yet. The company had planned a lot of activities for the members throughout this Christmas, so as to ensure that the BB Boys can spend their Christmas this year in a more meaningful way.

Besides the Agape Christmas Day, the members went caroling together with Rev. James. That was on 15th and 16th December 2008, when the BB/GB members went to 7 houses where non-Christian families live in. This is a kind of fellowship which had enabled the relationship among the Boys to have obviously been improved.

A Christmas Party was organized by the 2nd Sandakan Boys' Brigade Company together with the 3rd Sandakan Girls' Brigade Company in Wisma Basel on 21st December 2008. A snowman was made using recycled papers and cotton wool by the BB/GB members. The party started at 2.00 pm, when the guests started coming in one by one.

The entire celebration began with Praise & Worship lead by Mr Alexander with a team of worship members from the BB and GB. Then the audiences continued with some Bible Scriptures reading and watched a drama presentation done by the BB and GB too. Rev. James shared some sermons with the people who came, and gave out a unique pen to each and every one of them who came as a little Christmas gift. He also gave out some respond forms, asking whether the people who came are ready to accept Lord Jesus.

After that, the lucky draw started. There were a lot of prizes being given out, ranging from electronic gadgets and household tools. The games started right after the Lucky Draw. After playing some games, the audiences started getting themselves some refreshments prepared by the organizing committees before going back home.

On 24th December 2008, the BB and GB participated in the Basel Church Christmas Eve Service. The BB/GB members went into the Praise & Worship team as backup singers. Besides, they had also performed a singing and dancing show to the church congregations. The song "Joy to the World" was sang and a positive response was given to the performers.


That's all for Christmas 2008. Since the activities held were successful, more performances will be carried out in the district level next year.
