We had a Happy Birthday Jesus party in our yard the Thursday before Christmas. We invited our friends in the neighborhood and the pastors from the churches in Nebbi came with their wives. Billy told FIVE stories from the gospels of Jesus' birthday story. Some friends helped us act out the stories...
The angel came to Mary (with her side-kick, Elsie Jayne - this is not part of the original text!).
Billy narrates to the crowd as Joseph and a VERY pregnant Mary look for a place to stay in Bethlehem.
The happy couple with the newborn Jesus!
The Shepherds go and tell everyone of this amazing thing they have seen! Lucy was a sheep, but not so thrilled with her costume! Maybe next year!
The STAR appears and leads the wise men to Baby Jesus.
The wise men follow the star and bring their gifts to the Newborn King.
Then the visitors all got a chance to re-tell the story.
And to act out the story again as well!
