Sorry for the late post. Last week was busy with lots going on, and I wasn’t able to get to it earlier. We did have a busy week last week …. with our skating field trip, our decorating party, a fire drill … and all the regular things happening in class. A huge thank you to the parents that came and helped tie skates and hung out at the ice rink with us. And also a huge thank you to the parents that came to our decorating party. It was great! I hope that it has been a restful weekend, see you tomorrow!

Bible Memory:
Luke 2:3-14
And everyone went to their own town to register. So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favour rests.”
