Hillview Adventist Church's (Morisset, NSW) traditional Christmas service brought a special reflection for church members and the community on Sabbath, December 24.
Author: Mary Fedorow
With children in costumes and a real baby, the program reflected on the real meaning of Christmas.
Celebrations have been held each week, including the presentation of a nativity drama.
Meeting at 5:30am to pray for half an hour, not one day in five years has been missed.
Children of various ages—from pre-school to upper primary—led out in introducing the various parts of the service on March 14.
Dressed in period costume, the drama began with an announcement to all citizens (spectators) that they must go to Bethlehem in the upcoming census.
