Tainan City immersed in Christmas cheer and Christmas lights 

Reported by Chen Yi-hsuan

Written by Lydia Ma

A lively worship celebration took place on the courts of Jhongyi 
Elementary School on December 5, 2010. Themed "Guarding the city, 
transforming Tainan", the worship celebration was co-sponsored by 
Tainan Christian Association and 8 other local churches. 

With a glowing orange-and-yellow cross beaming on center stage, 
worship teams took turns singing, praying, and declaring the coming 
of Christ. Their worship celebration attracted the attention of 
people who were enjoying a Sunday afternoon walk near Confucius Park. 
Seizing this outreach opportunity, church volunteers were also 
present throughout the park distributing gospel tracts and Christmas 
invitations to everyone nearby who had stopped to watch the show.

Later on in the day, a Christmas candle lighting event was held at 
the National Museum of Taiwan Literature – a few blocks away from the 
school. The Christmas lights trail can now be seen every evening 
starting at the museum, and continuing on to Minsheng Garden, Nanmen 
Presbyterian Church, Thai-Ping-Geng Maxwell Memorial Church, and 
other places. 

A Christmas parade and caroling will be held on December 19, 2010, on 
the grounds of Jhonyi Elementary School again.
