The second
half of our service yesterday morning was a musical nativity play. It was
wonderful to see the enthusiasm of the children as they recounted with acting
and singing the greatest story ever told.
The
children were at their best as not a word was lost – even for those sitting at
the back of church. And the children and congregation both thoroughly enjoyed
it.
A lot of
people put in a lot of hard work, so thank you to them, but particularly to
Megan Lloyd who was the driving inspiration. Well done!
The
Christmas story, as told by the children, was the outworking of Isaiah’s
prophecy of “Emanuel,” God with us, which had been the theme of the first half
of the service, where the sermon had been given, appropriately, by our member, Emanuel
Oladipo.
Our next
Christmastide services are our Christingle service at 4.0 p.m. on Christmas
Eve, followed by the Christmas Eve Communion Service at 10.30 p.m. and the
Christmas Day Family Communion Service at 10.0 a.m. We would love to see you at
one of these.
