 Just because you are a long way from home, doesn`t mean you have to miss out on some of the traditions that many know and love. 

 The church building is just a five minute walk from Fujigaoka:

There was plenty of food, delicous desserts, and turkey for everyone.

It’s not easy to find a turkey, of the eating kind anyway, in Japan, and it’s even less easy to prepare it (try explaining to the turkey that, well, he’s contributing to a greater good )

This year we had a major dilemma with our own church oven being on the fritz, and not having easy access to another conventional oven with someone with bird baking experience.

We overcame that with the help of being able to order one already cooked, with stuffing, and that was great.

We also had a great time to share together and give thanks for all of the things we’re grateful for in our lives, for our families, and for our church.

It was a very good service, and a very good meal. Hope you can come next time

Here are a few of the photos I took. Apologies for the blurred pictures, expecially of the guest of honor, but I spent most of my time carving him up and rushed to take that picture before it was descended upon.

Service begins at 5:00PM and potluck will begin shortly after that.

Everyone is welcome. If you have a dish, please bring it. If not, we’ll share!
