O come, little children, O come, one and all,
O come to the manger in Bethlehem's stall;
And see what our Father on this holy night,
Has sent us from Heaven for our pure delight.
O see, in the cradle, this night in the stall,
O see how the light dazzles even us all;
In pure gleaming white lies this Child
heaven's love,More
and holy than angels above.
These pictures are from the Kidz Fest which was held in our church on Oct 16th.
It was a day long program full of music, teaching, group activities and games. Good food and snacks were served.
About 150 children were present.
The story of Barabbas was the focus. The rebel leader Barabbas was set free by the Romans and Jesus was crucified in his place.
The children are watching a video on the life of Barabbas.

The notorious prisoner Barabbas deserved to die but Jesus , the innocent Lamb of God took his place. Read the whole story in Matthew 27:11-26 (New Testament)
My blog friend TERRA of TERRA GARDEN gifted me a lovely book she has co-authored called A SCRAPBOOK OF CHRISTMAS FIRSTS. It is full of fresh ideas and practical ways to weave delight into the Christmas holidays. It overflows with tips for creating warm family memories and traditions, gift giving and also how to grow myrrh.
(The gladioli and tube roses are from my garden. The tube roses emit a lovely fragrance after night fall which lingers in the air for some time. In Hindi these flowers are called Raat Ki Rani or Queen of the Night)

Terra 's delicious Turkey/Greece dessert called Baklava was such a hit at a church dinner that a man took a bite out of it and yelled across the room ,"I want to marry the woman who made this". You can find her recipe on page 58 of the book.
Oh Terra if filo pastry was available in here I would try it too (smile).
Some of the stories in the book made me cry, they reach into the deep parts of my heart.
Please visit her to get information on how you can order this treasure trove . She has info on her side bar.
