Happy New Year!

From Father Iain, All Saints Chiang Mai

New Year’s Celebration at YCF

Dear Friends,

Happy New Year to everyone!  Join us at the Vicarage tonight it you are free!  Call 0 904 604 304 or email for directions if you don’t know the way!

We have had a wonderful Christmas season at All Saints.  You can see the dramatic rush to change our worship sanctuary into our dining room on Christmas Day in this short fun video!  Nearly sixty people worshipped with us on Christmas morning, and over forty stopped for lunch!  Thanks to Phyllis and Arthur for organising the lunch, and Pat and Julia, and so many more for assisting!

On the 28th December we had a wonderful time taking gifts to the children of the Youth Charity Foundation and joining them for dinner and a show!  You can see a couple of videos of the show here! We Wish you a Merry Christmas Dance, Away in a Manger Song, and We Wish you a Merry Christmas Song!

New Year’s Eve

Everyone is invited to bring in the New Year at the Vicarage to bring this year to an end!  We will begin at 8 p.m. and go into 2020 together!  Happy New Year!
