A visit from a prophetess.

While many of the Promiselanders are involved in rehearsals for the Christmas play, others spent time making cards or filling in question sheets regarding the Christmas story.

Today we saw how the promises of God were fulfilled. The children had a visit from 'Anna', the prophetess who was always found in the temple worshipping God, and with Simeon, waiting for the promised Messiah they knew would come. Simeon blessed the baby Jesus when Mary and Joseph brought him to the temple. And Anna was so excited to see the baby she couldn't stop telling everyone about him.The memory verse underlined that God does things in his timing. Here are the children working out together what the verse was.
Galatians 4:4
When the time had fully come, God sent his Son.
