Shower Buddies

Christmas

Church in the morning:

The children

The praise team

The pastor and his wife leading us in Silent Night

We had a nativity play:

Gabriel coming to Joseph (who really could NOT work out how Mary could be pregnant)

Mary and Joseph arrive in Bethlehem

The shepherds arrive, with some very happy sheep

The shepherds celebrated in a dance after meeting the Saviour

The cast

Then we had lunch together:

Nsima, cabbage, chicken

We hope that all of you are having a Christmas season equally filled with good food, good company and most of all the joy of the Saviour.

6 Days; 650 Children

Breakfast

The big nsima machine, one of three



Supper

The supper queue
