Advent International

Brian and I had quite a pleasant night out tonight.  We went to the Bodenseehof's Advent International Concert/Service.  The Bodenseehof is a Bible school in English just down the road from us that we attend on Sunday mornings for church.  They have over 100 students this year around college age that study there from September until March with different teachers who come in.  It has been a pleasure to be able to worship with them.

Tonight they put on their annual Advent International concert.  Different groups of students performed different Christmas songs with their voices and instruments.  They were quite good!  The director of the school also gave a sermon, but it was all in German, so we didn't understand any of it. 

It was wonderful to see what the students can do and see the support that the school gets from the community.  The place was packed!  We thankfully got 2 of the last seats available and were able to enjoy the concert.  Most of the people who were there are people from the community.  We do not see most of these people on Sundays because they speak German and the Sunday morning services are in English.

It was wonderful to celebrate Christ's birth in this way!
