Our community choir is made up of mainly children under 12 years. The rule during the pandemic is no child under 12 can attend worship and those over 12 years must be accompanied by a parent. That is not always possible, so they cannot come. Pastor Yves went to visit them. They gathered in their village and had a Bible study.
Pastor Yves then presented each child with a packet of biscuits (cookies). Some of the children asked for cookies for a sibling at home, so they are holding up two packets. The remaining biscuits in the box (86 pieces total) were then given to other children in that community. Sharing the love of Jesus and the sweets made many children happy.
Pastor Yves, the choir leader and our church member Claver, wearing masks, were joined by some of the kids in a photo. We welcomed Claver into our church family this year by baptism.
