The Church of the Immaculate Conception’s BEC Area Group 4 ended 2017 with a Christmas party for close to 100 merrymakers.

Adults and children joined in fun games, quizzes, dances, and carolling. There was a lucky draw with great prizes and delicious food for everyone.

This year’s Christmas celebration was held at the local community hall. It was a boisterous affair in a gaily decorated hall. All the members were persuaded to join in the games.

Helmed by Jillian Theseira and her assistant Dorothy Ong, the group meets every month for the BEC Bible reflection and pray the rosary in the month of May and October in members’ homes.

Paul Fletcher, husband of Jillian, has also organised a monthly praise and fellowship which received lots of support from members.

In the last few months, the group visited an old folks’ home, sick members in their homes and got the carollers together for a visit to the Mount Miriam Cancer Hospital on Christmas Day.

Jillian said the festivities were successful due to the resourceful contributions of Philip Chai, Andrew Yong, Francis Ooi, James Fletcher, Paul Fletcher and Steven Froud.

“Without these dedicated members, the area group wouldn’t have managed to run so many activities over the past years,” she said.
