Mid-Autumn joy at
BRMC Kindergarten
MID-AUTUMN is a special time when
the Joy of the Lord becomes a greater reality in our lives.
At Barker Road Methodist Church Kindergarten, the teachers
nurture the children to appreciate the profound beauty in the
kaleidoscopic cultures in Singapore and around the world.
The kindergarten children celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival
in October remembering always that the Joy of the Lord, which
has been the kindergarten's strength through spring and summer,
is their abiding strength in mid-autumn and will be their strength
in the winter which is fast approaching.
The little boys and girls turned up in colourful costumes on
the morning of Oct 6 - the 15th day of the full moon on the eighth
lunar month - each with a paper lantern.
It did not matter that there was no moon in sight at that hour.
All that mattered was that there was plenty of friends, food and
fun.
Nehemiah said,
"Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some
to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our
Lord. Do not grieve, for the Joy of the Lord is your strength."
- Nehemiah 8:10.
