The Minister's Party at Landap Beach Resort Last December 🏖️🌊⛱️

Today I will share with you the first Christmas Party I attended this year, the Minister's Party held at Landap Beach Resort.

The Minister's Party is an annual celebration of our Pastors here in our Section that is held every first Saturday of December and this year it was held again at Landap Beach Resort which last year was also the venue. Here at our party, there will be gift giving, parlor games, dining and our Section Presbyter will never lose our fellowship and sharing of God's Words.

I actually arrived at the venue around 9:30 in the morning because I had something else to do, I took an ID picture for use in my renewal of my pastorship. When I arrived at the venue, you were still there and set up the sound systems. After a few moments, the other Pastors started arriving because it was only a few moments before our Party started.

After a while, many Pastors arrived and started our Party. It started with an opening prayer and was immediately followed by Praise and Worship. After we gave praise and worship to God, our Section Presbyter also shared the Words of God that gave us encouragement as a Pastor and for the coming new year.

Around 11:00 in the morning, the first part of our Party ended and it was immediately followed by Parlor games while waiting for the food to be ready. While we were already filling up our newal forms due to be taken today, they also started the first game, the Tug of War which has categories for women and also for men. Our Party was made more fun because of the games, which hopefully won't go away every time there's a party like this.

Now it's time for our lunch while we are eating, the others are busy with the interview for the new Pastor applicants and one of them is my friend and my boyfriend's brother. After a few days, he asked me for help and I helped him but not all because it is better for him to study by himself so that he can prepare well and know what he is going to do. He himself was the first to be called for the interview and when it was over there were changes and additions for the final interview to be done and I hope they will be accepted, this friend of mine is only 18 years old and the youngest is only 17 years old.

In the afternoon, the other parlor games continued while the interviews of new applicants also continued. There are quite a few new applicants and most of them are young people in addition to the Youth Pastors who will be with us. In the Parlor games, I did not miss the opportunity to participate in the game so that the other Pastors could also bond, and of course we also had a picture with some youths who also attended the party.

Around 2:00 pm the games ended and the interview continued. Today, our section distributed a gift for all of us, each of us was called for a gift and the winners for the parlor games were also announced. Now all of us Pastors have been called so that we all have a picture to use for the Calendar. This is where our Minister's Party ended which was really fun and memorable because it was the first time I joined the party because I was just a new Pastor for one year this month.

To God be all the Glory! 😇🤗🙏
