Twas the week before Christmas

We're busy with a Christmas holiday program at St Stephen's this week - last week was pretty pressured but I have a wonderful team of helpers and it is just a matter of letting the program roll from now on. All good.
Katarina and Janine and learning some good leadership skills which is great, and they are a big help. Hannah and Zach just love being a part of it all. Katarina and Zach are coming right after a few miserable days with a summer cold. Janine has spent several days with her grandparents in Oamaru and enjoyed the peace and quiet!
We are planning on sharing Christmas with family in Christchurch, once we have enjoyed this week of preparing, sharing, wrapping, extra services, and so on.
