On Friday, 23 December, the praise band of Okayama Philadelphia Church took part in the Christmas concert that was held at a self-support home for intellectual disabilities in Kurashiki-city, Okayama. There was an audience of around 100 people gathered together. They had an opportunity to sing “Joy to the World” and the lyrics from “Yasuragi-no-Uta” for 30 minitues. After the concert, they received the comment from a representative, “What a wonderful concert.” And a candy box was given to them. The concert was a real blessing. We give thanks to the Lord.
