This morning we were privileged to hear the Christmas Story from the mouths of our young people at the Children’s and Youth Ministries Christmas Service. During the week the auditorium has been transformed with a number of Christmas decorations, streamers and wrapped presents adding to the atmosphere.
Over the past term the young people have been exploring the Christmas Story by focussing in on the key characters. This morning the whole congregation, which included a large number of friends and family of those young people who are associated with our pre-school, children’s and youth ministries were introduced to the angel Gabriel, Joseph, Mary, Jesus, Shepherds, Kings and the angelic host.
Emily and Madison (our two active Junior Soldiers) narrated the story and received their Bronze and Gold Awards respectively as part of this mornings celebrations, well done girls! And a huge thank you to Raewyn for teaching them throughout the year all about God and The Salvation Army.
It was fantastic to see the amount of young people in attendance (and of course their families as well). Well done to all those that were involved and also to all those that helped with the planning and decorating. Talking to a number of the visitors this morning they really enjoyed the service and were blessed by the atmosphere.
