Children Church Christmas Party

Yesterday was the CC Christmas Party.  This year, the theme is 3 Wise Men and a Baby.

The party started at 10:30am.  We reached there just in time, but finding a parking lot was a real hassle.  In the end, Mummy has to resolve with parking her car so far, that both of us walked for 5 - 10 minutes to reach the Dream Centre.  Phew!

After registering my name at the counter, we headed into the auditorium.  But the usher advised us to go to the top floor since the auditorium was full.  There were only a small crowd there.  The advantage is, we get a good view from the top and it was pretty spacious.

It started with 2 games.  I was so excited when I saw so many balloons.  Kids have a soft heart for balloons, don't you think so?  The crowd went wild when we passed the balloon from the back to the front.  Next, by using a straw we passed the paper holly from the left to the right.

Finally, the real show began.  It talked about the three wise men traveling to the town of Bethlehem and worshiped baby Jesus in the manger.  I like the 3 wise men.  Mummy finds the ending of the story very meaningful.  While the 3 wise men were there in the manger, 3 shepherds came to see baby Jesus too.  Unlike the wise men they did not prepare any gifts for baby Jesus.  So, one of them gave his heart to Jesus; another one worship Jesus; and the last one proclaimed his love for Jesus.

Half way through the show, my tummy was rumbling.  Although I think we are not supposed to eat in the auditorium, Mummy has no choice but to give me some biscuits while we continued watching the presentation.  We were careful not to dirty the place though.

When the musical ended, the CC pastor challenged the kids to come forward and accept Jesus.  Mummy thought of leaving then to avoid the traffic jam.  After all, I was very hungry and getting restless.  Suddenly Mummy asked me do I want to receive Jesus into my heart and instantly I said, "Yes".  Mummy asked me again and my answer was affirmative.  Then Mummy brought me to the front of the stage and the pastor prayed together with us.

Later, Mummy asked me why do I want to receive Jesus.  I told her because I like it.  It's just that simple.  I may not know everything but at least this is my first step of faith.  We should not doubt that God can work wonders in a 3-year-old, right?

Overall, I love the Christmas party.  I received a goodie bag after I left.  But the best gift of all is: I have received Jesus into my heart.  Amen!
