We sing carols too!

A time to let our hair down!

New Year's Eve
We spend time in prayer and sharing on the eve of the new year telling each other what the past year has been like for us and our hopes for the year to come.
We have a short break at midnight to welcome the New Year. Cheers! Boas festas!
