On 16 December, 2006, Wesley Methodist Church KL held a Christmas celebration that was slightly different from previous years. From 5pm onwards, members came with their own picnic basket and had a picnic in the MBS school field where tents were set up and some tables laid out. The purpose of this picnic was to encourage greater community bonding as well as to reach out to friends in a non-threatening way. Those who came had a wonderful time. Everyone praised God because it had been raining practically every evening for the past two weeks but on that particular day, God was faithful in holding back the rain.

At about 7.30pm, the picnickers began to make their way to the church sanctuary for the Christmas musical “An Evening of Carols” which began at 8pm. The nativity story was told through music, songs, dance and drama by various groups in the church. The evening ended with the proclamation of God’s glory and reign through the well-loved Hallelujah Chorus from The Messiah by George Frederick Handel.
