Joyful Events

Joyful Coffee Time

The Joyful Club provided homemade cake, donuts, coffee, and juice during the intermission of a Concert held at the church.

1010 New Year Party

It has become a New Year tradition. The Joyful Club students arrange a New Year party for all of us to enjoy.

Chopin Concert

One of our students is an opera singer who was born in Poland. She met her husband, who is Japanese in Poland where he was studying Chopin. The love for Chopin brought them together, and now they perform together in Japan.

Thanksgiving Worship Service

Once a year the Joyful Club has a Church time. We gather together to sing and hear an English message translated in Japanese. This year we are planning a Father's day Church time.

Christmas Party

This is one of our favorite events of the year. Members participate with their special talents. Sometimes it's a play (Cinderella, Momotaro, and Scrooge to name a few), a piano piece, Line Dancing, or Bon Dancing (what you see below)
