With
ACERO’s support, the Mission of the Assyrian Church of the East in Amman,
Jordan held a special Christmas service for Assyrian refugees on 17th December
and a beautiful evening of Christmas hymns and praise on 14th December.
These
events attracted a large number of parishioners despite the adverse weather
conditions in Jordan. These social and cultural functions form part of a wider
programme of support being given to Assyrian refugees in Jordan during the
Christmas period.
Under
the direction of The Rev’d Fr Shmoel Athneil these celebratory events work to
lift the spirits of people living in extremely difficult conditions and to
acknowledge individuals in Jordan who are working hard to assist refugees.
The
event programme’s included speeches, sermons, Christmas carols/hymns as well as
the presentation of prizes and gifts.
The
Rev’d From Shmoel has written to ACERO offering his thanks for its continued
support during the holy season.
ACERO
has an established ongoing aid programme for Assyrians in Jordan and would
welcome your support. Please consider making a small contribution in the spirit
of Christmas at the donate page.
