For the children at our Sunday School in Morningstar settlement off the N7, this week was a very special one! Little Isabelle from the mission joined us, as well as two volunteers! First we set up an impromptu nativity scene, complete with lots of “sheep” making noises, angels singing, and shepherds gathering around “Joseph” and “Mary.” We followed with a refresher of the Christmas message and meaning of the season – JESUS!

Then all the children received their own wrapped Christmas present, and oh what excitement as scores of children tore the wrapping to reveal the gifts within! (a few children kept their gifts wrapped, saying “I would like to open this with my mother at home.” So very sweet and touching. All the children went home rejoicing with goodie bags of sweeties to complete the event!
