And speaking of 'great work', I wish each of you could have been with us for the Holy Cross Christmas Pageant held yesterday at the high school. Please enjoy the attached photos (thanks Cullen!) and try to imagine the excitement as hundreds of children sang like angels, danced with joy and joined in thanking their Heavenly Father for the precious gift of Jesus.


I'd like to share just one of the offerings - an original poem by Standard V sung to the "Twelve Days of Christmas" and dedicated to Holy Cross.....


On the first day of Christmas, Holy Cross gave to me, a scholarship to high school;
On the second day of Christmas, Holy Cross gave to me 2 glasses of milk;
........ 3 johnny cakes;
.........4 powder buns
Five plates of food!
........6 slices of melon;
........7 dentists drilling;
........8 volunteers;
........9 computer lessons;
........10 doctors helping;
........11 teachers teaching;
........12 Christmas gifts!


I think their words say it all - I just wish you could have heard their sweet voices and seen their smiling faces!!
