Some of Viki's December Activities . . . 2 Church-programs, Another Public Christmas-Tree Lighting .
In Viki's 1st school presentation (actually at Thanksgiving Sunday in November), as one of the 4-year-old Kindergarten presenters for All the kindergartners (3-, 4- and 5-year-old classes), she memorized the English version of the welcoming speech, and spoke 2nd after her class-mate's Palauan-language welcome:
"Good morning, Pastor, to all the Mommies and Daddies, and to Everybody. Welcome to our first Church Program!"
___________________________________________________________
For the second church program, the Christmas program (the children also performed their songs and part of the program at the central public Bethlehem Park, and met Santa Claus, and Viki got to turn on the Christmas-tree lights with the President), she memorized and spoke the first part of this passage:
"Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem in Judea, during the time when Herod was king," soon afterward; some men who studied the stars came from the East to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the baby born to be the king of the Jews? We saw his star when it came up in the east, and we have come to worship him.” When King Herod heard about this, he was very upset, and so was everyone else in Jerusalem. He called together all the chief priests and the teachers of the Law and asked them, “Where will the Messiah be born?” “In the town of Bethlehem in Judea,” they answered. “For this is what the prophet wrote; ‘Bethlehem in the land of Judea, you are by no means the least of the leading cities of Judea; for from you will come a leader who will guide my people Israel.’” So Herod called the visitors from the East to a secret meeting and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. Then he sent them to Bethlehem with these instructions: “Go and make a careful search for the child; and when you find him, let me know, so that I too may go and worship him.” And so they left, and on their way they saw the same star they had seen in the East. When they saw it, how happy they were, what joy was theirs! It went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. They went into the house, and when they saw the child with his mother Mary, they knelt down and worshiped him. They brought out their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, and presented them to him. Then they returned to their country by another road, since God had warned them in a dream not to go back to Herod. Matthew 2:1 - 12 TEV
Viki was terrific (the children didn't go through that whole bit) . . ..
