UCFM's Annual Conference



Our church, UCFM, had it's annual conference with all of it's churches.
The theme was Jesus Return.  There were around 400 people there for three days.  We love it as a family because we feel a part of the church family.  It is encouraging to serve together.


Josh was one of the teachers.  As always he did a great job.  His last lesson was to remember two things before Christ comes; time of evil and suffering will increase and tell the world the Good News!

Lydia and Grace danced as one of the choirs.


One of my favorite parts was when Charles had three visitors and one church member come up.  These four people are all former prisoners who went through FIC in prison.  They are now our friends who come often to be with us.  One is a former Muslim man who now worships with our church.  He and his family had to leave their home because of him coming to Christ.  So we took an offering for their family to help them with a new home and food.  What a family of God!!!  These new believers are standing strong in Christ even with everything taken from them.  I am humbled by their faith.

Luka and friends.  Luka LOVED conference and being with everyone.  We had to make him come home at 9pm everynight.
Emalai also lived at conference! 
She loves being with her friends, helping in the kitchen and being "Ugandan".



The youth I love!
They did such a good job helping and being involved.

Beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

 

Lydia and Grace made this dance for Christmas - Beautiful!

I put out a manger and Makai came running with a baby "Jesus" to put in it.

We built a snowman! Best we can do with the heat here (:
