When we last met we literally followed a star as we learnt about Epiphany. The nativity was carefully unpacked and each figure held gently by the children as they told the story, carefully unwrapping and placing each perfect little statuette. Little gifts were handed out and smiles ensued as they discovered the richness of gold, the smell of Frankincense and the intriguing little dab of fragranced oil, Myrrh...Every time the CC Squad meet we have one objective - to help our children learn about Jesus, the Bible and Christianity through engagement, fun and innocent discovery. Its a joyful, happy and heartwarming occasion; as it should be! When the essence of our own beliefs is simple - that God is love.
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. Luke 2:6-7
This traditional service will open with a much loved hymn, We plough the fields and scatter... our collection of non perishable foods will go to the local charity, Stem in de Stad so if you plan to come, please bring something along. This is a choral service and we are thankful for our choir. Afterwards, all can stay for a Harvest Tea. All welcome!
