You are kindly invited to a prayer service (eucharist and adoration) on Sunday evening Dec 31, 2006 from 10 30 PM till 0 30 AM @ the Annunciation church (Saidet el Bishara) in Zokak el Balat - Beirut.
The intention is to pray for peace in the world, more specifically in Lebanon. The prayer shall be in Arabic but the Lord understands all languages 
so feel free to join at any time or to forward this invitation.
Below you see the icone of Christ’s birth (at the same church), in a new 3-dimensional way. The pastor of the church, who’s a pastor in the real meaning of the word, is also an architect and he has wonderful ideas for helping us grasp the theological meaning of the liturgical feasts. This Christmas icone will stay at church till Easter and already has Easter dimensions in it. Look at the tree branch on which the thorn crown hangs, there’s the olive branches pointing out to Jesus’ suffering at Gethsemani (bustan el Zeitoun). The path is not even, just as our lives are not smooth even pathways, BUT the Light (God) continues leading us…
Here is what Father Jean-Marie himself wrote:
Explication:
Le chemin de pierre représente un peu notre vie tumultueuse allant dans tous les sens avec pas mal de haut et de bas, mais avec un filet de LUMIERE qui n’abandonne pas le chemin ce qui nous rappelle la perpétuelle présence de Dieu dans notre vie.
Jésus s’est incarné dans le but de nous sauver c’est pourquoi l’on peut voir au sommet de la crèche la couronne d’épine qui est déjà là, ainsi qu’à gauche un des anges qui a les yeux fixés sur le petit jardin d’oliviers (19 plans d’oliviers qui seront dans le futur plantés dans le jardin de l’église)-(micro-Getsémani) et derrière les oliviers l’on peut voir la croix qui est déjà là.
The kids enrolled in drama classes wanted to perform the play they studied for their parents. They already played it for the senior citizens last week. Here you see some of them with their drama teacher Layal.
