Today more angels have come to our
crib. Stephanie has sent Jeremy and Jessica as angels.
So far, we have raised just over £100 for the children in Zimbabwe.
Today we also made stars for our Christmas
Wishing Tree. We talked about the Bible story of the three Wise Men who
were guided to Bethlehem by the star, which led them to the place where
Jesus was born. The older children wrote on their 3D stars the dedications
from the people of the parish who have asked for prayers and wishes for
the future. The younger children thought about the people in their lives
who are stars in the way they guide them, inspire them and make them feel
safe. They wrote the names of these people on their stars.
Dear
God,
Thank you for the people in our lives who help us find our way, by always
being there when we need them and by being people we can look up to.
Amen
Father John told everyone that yesterday,
he had come to our Christmas party.
Besides Father John, we had another visitor.
But it was Father John who stayed for
tea!
We played games which showed we were
full of energy.
And we had good appetites. There were
small children-
And tall children!
Who all looked happy.
Now Christmas is very near, we remember
the most important thing of all. We wait to celebrate the birth of Jesus,
who came to earth to show us just how much God loves us.
