The Joy of Christmas

Last Friday was a day to remember. Absolutely a day that had the Lord was smiling and rejoicing. Don’t know exactly how many kids...more than 250 (a few flukers!) K – P4 kids were here in the CoG ministry centre for the 1st annual Christmas party......they all played, danced, enjoyed food and drink, ate cake, danced some more, heard the story about Christ and baby Jesus and the JOY that He brings to us.....and even welcomed ‘Father Christmas/Santa Claus”.....aka one of our mentor staff.


Wow....what a day...chaotic at times...a few 'bumps and bruises'....but I can’t think of anything that’s a greater blessing than to see our kids being loved on and getting a glimpse of what baby Jesus brought to this world. As we heard one little girl express to her CoG mentor..."I'm going to go tell Ja Ja (her grandmother) that we don't need another Christmas cause we just had the real one".

These are the times of real JOY.
