Today, the wondrous story of the birth of our King was re-told using beautiful prayers from the book "The Twelve Prayers of Christmas" by Candy Chand. Prayer and song was interwoven as the story of Jesus' birth was shared.
The boys and girls in our class played the parts of the animals in the stable; the sheep, donkeys, cows and doves who were present that special night. We sang a peaceful song about the animals in the stable when Jesus was born.
Jesus, our brother, kind and good,
Was humbly born in a stable rude,
And the friendly beasts around Him stood,
Jesus, our brother, kind and good.
Our little "friendly beasts" were amazing. Absolutely radiant. From initial rehearsals beginning last month, to full costumed run-throughs yesterday and today, their consistent effort and energy was remarkable.
Here are some special memories from concert week:

Many thanks to the patient mom who ensured our costumes were "up to snuff", and to the boys and girls in Grade 1, who captured the essence of the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ!
This week marks the second week of Advent. Throughout Advent, we have been discussing how we are preparing our hearts for the arrival of Jesus. Students are encouraged to take time to pray and find ways to share kindness with others.
May your families be blessed with peace and joy this Christmas season!
