Attending my home church’s circle meeting was one of the highlights of being back in my hometown. My mother, Priscilla, was in charge of the program and I was in charge of desserts. Our homemade apple spice cake and blueberry bundt cake was enjoyed by everyone but the most fun we had in hosting was to create a Chinese New Year display for our table setting.
As you can see from the photos, we ushered in the Year of the Dragon in style. The red envelopes (hong bao) were also a gift to those attending.
Our circle meeting was held in the church chapel.
Our Chinese New Year display was quite impressive
