Last night the children enjoyed telling the story of Babushka, an old woman who spent so much time cleaning her little house that she failed to notice beautiful things going on around her: a new star shining in the sky, an angel hovering in her garden and an exciting message being spread by three mysterious kings.
In a dream, an angel sings to Babushka of a baby boy born in a manger. Horrified to think of this baby shivering in a dirty stable, she sets off with a basket full of presents and cleaning materials. On her journey she meets people in need, and by the time she reaches Bethlehem she has learnt a valuable lesson, as well as filling an empty place in her heart.
A fantastic performance from the children with a poignant message. This term, the children have been thinking of lots of different ways they can help others and make a difference. We hope that this Christmas time everyone will take time to help others and in so doing spread love and joy in our community.
Happy Christmas everyone.
