It is wonderful to have a birthday celebration at church. Our church—St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Hualien—celebrates our birthdays month by month. For example, those who were born in February were celebrated on February 22, the First Sunday in Lent; and those born in March were celebrated on March 8, that is, today, the Third Sunday in Lent.
Both Jean and I were born in March. However, she is currently in Taichung for a short stay, so only I had the opportunity to join this wonderful church event today, along with a couple of other members of the congregation. We sang “Happy Birthday to You” in both Mandarin and English in cheerful, loud voices. Many thanks to our pastor, the Rev. Minglong Wu, for his heartfelt prayer and blessing!
Note: The first few photos below were taken on February 22, while the others were taken today, just before lunch. Besides these pictures, I also cherish the video that our good friend Ms. Xiaojing Zhang recorded.
