Christmas Breakfast Celebration Features Primary Children

   Over the years. Mokelumne River Ward has celebrated every other year with a Christmas breakfast.
  There was a large attendance at the breakfast and food and friendships were enjoyed by all.

    But the main part of the activity was to celebrate the birth of Christ, and this was done in a delightful way.



  The primary children acted out the story, as the audience sang a five verse song.  This is what they portrayed on each verse:
1.Tell the truth of Jesus' birth.  When as a baby, he came to the earth.
2. This is the new star, shinning so bright, lighting the world on that first Christmas night.
This is the angel proclaiming the birth, Singing "Hosanna!" and "Peace on Earth."
3.This is the stable, shelter so bare; Cattle and oxen first welcomed him there.
This is the manger, wet hay for a bed.  Waiting for Jesus to cradle his head.
4. These are the shepherds, humble and mild, Hast'ning to worship the heavenly child.
These are the wise men who followed the star, Frankincense, gold, and myrrh brought from afar.
5. See the sweet mother, Mary so fair, Joseph who guided the donkey with care.
See the dear baby of Bethlehem, Little Lord Jesus, the Savior of men.
