Christmas pizza party with MFHW teens

We had a full afternoon on 15th December!  Six of our eight girls (My Father's House Worcester/Mailbox Club leaders) attended. We sang Christmas carols, shared with our leader friend Soraya, and then gave our special Christmas gifts to the girls - matching pink Afrikaans NLV Bybels (Bibles) and little denim bags designed and sewed by our friend Heather.  We had a little Bible study on Christmas from Luke/Lukas 2, blessed each other in the encouragement game (say something nice about the person next to you), and we shared of different Christmas traditions.   While this is our second Christmas in Worcester, we had not started our children's ministry yet, so we are still learning the culture of the townships.  They loved the Romans pizza, pineapple juice boxes, chocolate cake, whipped cream and strawberries.  Usually they have sandwiches, but pizza is for special occasions due to the cost.

I asked the girls what they would like to do for some future outing that wouldn't be too expensive.  Two ideas came up - a beach visit (Hermanus or the Strand - which would be more than an afternoon!), and to rent the movie Annie.  I have good memories of both the film and play, and thought, yes, this could work.  We thought of the new Grinch movie, but NuMetro wouldn't be cheap, and then there's popcorn and cool drinks.  Need I say more. We'll see what other ideas pop up, although they enjoy our Bible studies, singing sessions and discipleship over how they are leading the Mailbox Clubs.

Four of these girls have come with us to Worcester Christian Church, although Anthonica and Chantelle have come the most often.  They were even present during my last presentation at WCG Kinderkerk on 9th December.  They all love flagging - and Jamelia in particular, loves to dance.   We hope to hear their Christmas stories soon, although I have been told that Christmas is a regular day with a fancy meal if they can afford it.  So not all of them get gifts.  We hope that ours blesses them.
