Valentine's Day

Valentine's day is technically the day for people in love. I'm not personally a huge fan of it, but here at Centro Agape it's a big deal, so I went along for the ride. The last couple of weeks have been really busy preparing for last night's program. We threw together a night of food, music, and show for over 50 couples here at the church. The appearance of the whole place changed. This is what it looked like when we were done.



The youth was put in charge of making this night happen. We all had different roles, like working the kitchen, waiting tables, cleaning up, singing, dancing, and even some pretty funny skits. I was assigned as the DJ for the night.

Yes that globe really worked! From there i could control all the light and the music before and after all the skits. As usual italians really know how to enjoy an evening so there was plenty of good food. There was about 7 appetizers and 2 main courses. Then dessert and fruit of course. This is what some of the food looked like.

It was as delicious as it looked. After all the food the show started. There was singing, a couple of people from the youth sang solo songs. Then a group of the girls did a choreographed dance for everyone. After that, there was plenty of funny and amusing skits to make everyone laugh. It was very tiring and time consuming, but it was a great experience for the youth to be together for this time. The money that was raised went to the youth group fund for future plans for this group. This is almost everyone that was involved in the whole evening.
