Ingredients:24 chocolate biscuits2 Litre Mint chocolate-chip ice cream1/4 cup sprinkles1 bottle Cottee’s Ice Magic

1. Lay 12 chocolate cookies out with the flat side facing up.

Match them with similar sized chocolate cookies and place

them facing up too.

2. Scoop a spoonful of chocolate mint ice cream onto 12 of

the cookies.

3. Place the leftover cookies on top.

4. Press the cookies together slightly so that the ice cream

comes right up to the edges.

5. Working quickly, press the sides of the ice cream sandwich-

es into the sprinkles, so that all of the sides are covered.

6. Drizzle over the white chocolate Ice Magic.

7. Serve immediately.

Hold on to your hats. We are about to enter one of the busiest and for some, most expensive seasons of the Year. Yes that’s right, it is Christmas; but you knew that already didn’t you?

It is the time when we finish off the school year with the odd graduation or school presentation to go to. This is followed by the work Christmas Party and the four other groups you belong to all having their Christmas Parties. There are so many we start them in November to fit them all in!

Then there is the discussion on where we are “having” Christmas this year and what is the plan re: giving gifts - is it secret gifts or do we all get one another something, and what is the limit? I am getting tired just thinking about it.

Is this what it is really all about? Or is the message of Christmas about God coming to earth as a baby by the Virgin Birth, with the shepherds and the wise men celebrating?

Or is it really a rescue message where from the beginning of time the Creator, God, knew that we, the people of this planet, would get into so much trouble that we would need to be rescued; and that the only way he could rescue us was to become a human and pay the price for you and me so we could be reconciled with our Creator?

We at KawanaLife would love to make sure that you are a part of God’s rescue plan. Come and visit us this Christmas Season.

God bless, Dony Johnson Senior Pastor

Our little family ‘tradition’

is to read a section of the

Christmas story before the

kids open their presents.

It’s a great little reminder of

what Christmas is all about.
