Sunday school Christmas Service.

Just wanted to write down what a day yesterday was - we had a Christmas service for the Sunday School, and a Carol service in chapel in the evening.

We had eleven children, which to some may seem few - but to US it was a blessing. Several parents came and the headmaster of my son's school came (strangely the children all calmed themselves once he arrived - it was quietly amusing how a person can have such a impact on children).

They did so well with their memory work (I smiled inwardly) and were so excited with the amount of adults being there to witness it and the singing was beautiful. We had a guest speaker who used their time so wisely, giving a short but strong message - oh how the Lord blessed our time!

We sang hymns, had a quiz, short memory piece, and a message was given, and a small gift was given to all the children at the end. The parents that came thanked us and one even texted me to say how much they enjoyed their time there. Praise the Lord.

I thank the Lord for this opportunity to give a message to the Parents.

In the evening I went to the carol service sadly without husband and son as son has been fighting a cold for weeks and became quite unwell. So husband stayed at home so I could go out. It was a wonderful message and many hymns sang and after service their were some light refreshments. It was a lovely time to catch up with people especially those going away for Christmas.

Now I'm gearing up for next weekend!

Dear Mrs Baptist
I just removed my previous comment after seeing the spelling mistakes! Glad to hear that yesterday's Christmas Sunday School went well and for the visitors and children alike. Great Gospel opportunity and what a wonderful message to tell.
Carry on singing Christmas Carols while you make the syn free Christmas goodies.
