17 December: Serve the City
On the 17th of December about 130 volunteers came together to make a difference in the city of Amsterdam. We did many projects like painting houses, helping the elderly, blessing people by taking pictures with Santa Claus and singing christmas carols in the VU hospital.

Christmas@thefarm 2011
On Saturday December 17th, we celebrated Christmas at the Farm with the children of Crossroads and many visitors. It was a great celebration in which the donkey, sheep and camel told the Christmas story, each from their unique point of view.
New Children's Group Started!
On the 4th of December we started a new group called: “Vogels” for the 2 year old Dutch
speaking children in Crossroads. We were having more then 30 children in the two crèches
(age 0-2) on a regular basis on a Sunday morning. To ensure the safety of the children we
don’t allow more than 15 children per classroom and we had to start sending children with
their parents away. Not so welcoming!
Christmas Lunch
Last Sunday we had a fantastic Christmas Lunch at the Ministry Center sponsored by the Care team. After kicking off with a short word and a blessing by Bill Hoopes, we could all start of with our lunch program. In total, 46 people joined for a 4 course traditional English Christmas dinner as well as Christmas carols, a Christmas meditation by Bob Phillips and a Bible Quiz.
