IBB Christmas Program

Children's Christmas at Campo Verde church.
December 20 was our children's Christmas program. The kids recited Isaiah 9:6 and acted out serveral scences frm the biblical account while the adolescents read the scripture portions from the book of Luke.

Maria visited Elizabeth and then recited a portion of "Mary's song" (Luke 1:46-49)

The women of the church sang a Christmas hymn while Mary and Joseph took care of Baby Jesus.

And of course the angels appeared to the shepherds and gave the announcement tht Jesus was born. Then the shepherds went to the stable to worship our new born Lord and Savior as we all sang "O come let us adore Him".

Making Polenta

In December I was invited to the home of one of our church members for Sunday dinner. They were making polenta and chicken. Geny cut up the chicken and cooked it over the hot fire of a woodburning stove while others were roasting corn over the fire. To make polenta, they grated the fresh corn off the cob, seasoned it with salt, pepper, and green onion, then stirred it continually while it cooked over the hot fire until thickened and cooked thoroughly. it was served with rice and salad. The chicken and the polenta was absolutely delicious.

Little Fernanda (age 1 1/2) enjoyed eating it as much as I did.
