Candlelight Dinner

Herr and Frau Jenne

Candlelight Dinner is an event put on by BFA for the Germany community. It is a time to get to know our fellow neighbors a little better and an opportunity to share the hope of Christ with them.

Every year there is a different theme and this year was "Time Travel" through different parts of the world and different time periods. Students and staff performed various dances and songs, and of course Nolan had a part in this year's event. He and some students performed "La Bamba". They have been working on this performance for weeks now, along with all the other performers for the dinner. At the end of the show, Christian Kockersheidt (a good friend of ours) preached on the hope of Christ in the various circumstances and troubles we may face in life. The entire show and message was in German, and students and staff who speak German fluently helped by serving or ushering.

We invited our former landlords Frau and Herr Jenne, and they loved it! Their favorite performance was "Les Miserables" performed by some of my and Nolan's students. We were proud of them! Some other performances included a Korean dance, swing dancing, and a bluegrass song.

It was so nice getting to spend the evening with our former landlords...thank goodness Frau Jenne speaks German :) I wish I could speak more German. I had some of my students help translate from time to time.

What a wonderful evening! To see more pictures go to my friend Michele's blog...she was in charge of the whole event and she is a better photogapher than I am :)
