Hanukkah Weekend

Hey everyone,
I (We) just came back from an AWESOME weekend. It was: over-the-top, SMASHING, incredible, EXHILARATING, wonderful.
No, I did not yell at the President for being so incredibly, ahem (cough, cough), not smart, or raise money for the endangered animals, or conquer my fear of deep water, or get an iPod Touch, or learn to dance, or even meet the members of my FAVORITE BAND. Nope, you know what I did? I experienced my first Hanukkah celebration, and, you know what? It was really cool!!!! We have never really done something like this before, so it was all new to me.
Friday night, we went to Passion For Truth to experience their Friday night gathering and enjoy a great night of worship. Matt Hoffmann’s praise group is absolutely wonderful, and watching them praise Yahweh through music is pretty exciting.
We stayed up late and believe me, it was worth it!!!
Saturday morning we attended a Messianic congregation in St. Louis, experiencing their interpretation of Hanukkah celebration. Later that evening, we went to Passion For Truth for the main event:a skit, music, (short) message, dancing and probably my favorite part of all: the lighting of the Hanukkah candles by everyone. It was a beautiful picture, looking out over everyone holding the candles of light in the darkness.

These pictures by Meghan Williams, photographer at PFT, capture the emotions during Hanukkah perfectly. Check them out here:
