Fall is over

What a fun fall it was! We had a Karaoke Evening at Rock Berlin. Many not-yet believers came and enjoyed the evening that two RBers, Celine Lettau and JP Larson, organized. Dieter even was pulled in to help with YMCA. Ouch!
Over 50 people came and immediately asked when the next Karaoke evening will be. Probably in Feb.


We said good-bye to the Allen family, Chris, Kate, Noah, Belle, and Christopher. They blessed Rock Berlin starting back in March when RB switched to Sunday services. Rock Berlin helped the Allens prepare for their move back to the states. We miss them dearly. May the Lord bless and guide them.

Lucy and Dieter celebrated Thanksgiving twice this year. The first dinner was at the local Hard Rock Cafe. We were invited by a friend. It turned out to be a business dinner for a German-American Club. We did not join, but enjoyed the evening.

Ironically, the gentleman in the photo was born in Connecticut but grew up in Germany. That is the reverse of Dieter (except that Dieter grew up in Ohio and met Lucy in Conn.).


Then we celebrated with a dinner on Nov.27 for 40 people at RB. It was fun with mostly Germans coming to enjoy the American tradition. Again, there many who do not call Christ their Savior. What a great opportunity Nov. was for witnessing and blessing others.

In Dec. we had a Christmas service and dinner on the 13th. Here is Lucy waving and being silly. She did give approval to use this picture:)

We also had a St. Nick to give presents to everyone. It was a White Elephant giveaway.

No one was left out. St. Nick's day is actually Dec. 6.

The women of Linworth Rd. Church made and sent baby quilts to Berlin and Lucy started passing them out. Here is a family that was blessed by this gift from Ohio.

This is the Holz family, Betti, Olli, Sean, and Pablo. We love the names of the twin boys.

We are looking forward to see what God does in 2010! Thanks for journeying with us.
