Christmas busy - ness

Yesterday [Sunday] was another busy day.

Worship @ 9:30 am ~ we looked at the 'praising shepherds' - these were one of the lowest-paid, lowest-status jobs of the time - yet God chose to tell them first - so the question was asked 'Did people's attitudes change towards the shepherds?' The answer 'no' - but the shepherds did change - it's the same for us.

Carolling @ 11:30 am ~ Maryvale private hospital [a lovely courtyard setting] - how wonderful it was to sit and play carols - a great time of worshipping God.

Pick up @ 12:30 pm ~ the Presbyterians as part of their morning worship had a toy giving segment and these were donated to us to give out to those needing them. What a delightful group of faithful saints!

Carolling @ 3 pm ~ Gracedale nursing home [we were most welcomed] - what a privilege is ours to be welcomed into so many people's homes - the hospitality is amazing!

Anglican's @ 7:30 pm ~ we helped the city band at this carols by candlelight service held inside the church - a bit liturgical as is their way - a bit strange though at supper time where champagne was served - for me it seemed a little out of place - but for them so natural - a great time of fellowship!

A busy day 'yes' ~ a day full of worship 'yes'!
